How can he possibly see anything with that mask over his face? Costume department dropped the ball there.

That's the only footage I've seen of the Hobbit trilogy. I know the resolution isn't great, but do all the films look so much like video games?

Two problems I have with Basterds - I keep imagining Tarantino and Pitt thought they were creating a classic character with Raine. They didn't. Second, that Mike Myers cameo. One of those instances where someone had to say 'Quentin, no. Just no.'

I keep forgetting GTA is a British creation. It doesn't feel like the country acknowledges its own pop culture phenomenon enough.

Haven't seen Scott Pilgrim, but since Django is only compelling when DiCaprio's onscreen it's not too much of a stretch.

Boring is the last word I'd use to describe The Social Network.

I realized about 3 years ago that I hated Wes Anderson movies, despite having watched almost all of them, and decided never to watch another. Then Grand Budapest came out to all that acclaim and now I feel like I have to watch just one more. But I'm still not sure I'll like it.

Huh, I thought we'd all got over the upon-release divisiveness of Eyes Wide Shut a while back and come to accept it for the great film it is.

I haven't rewatched season 6, but at least a third of those episodes could probably compete for the dubious title.

Batman Returns: terrible Batman movie, great Tim Burton movie.

Shutter Island would actually qualify for the list, and certainly deserves to be higher than Wolf of Wall Street.

I quite like TDKR because, although its reach was beyond its grasp, at least it reached in the first place - not a common trait of superhero movies.

I didn't interpret Upstream Color as some treatise on the 'ultimate truth'. Obviously it's not for everyone but I found its ambiance very inviting. Watching it on a projector helped.

It took 12 years to make.

"I can''t tell; is that the audiences' fault or the studios'?"

I feel like Wolf of Wall Street is lucky to be that high, but I guess it's nice that studios are still willing to spend a lot of money on at least *some* movies that are unapologetically aimed at adults.

I was about to ask if 2010 counted as this decade (see: the huge argument in the Mad Men review thread about the definition of 'decade'), but Black Swan's present so it must. And if so, yes - Inception should be there somewhere despite third act issues that plague every Nolan blockbuster.

While it doesn't belong on this list, I've never understood the venom people spew at "237". Are they angry at the film's participants, or merely that someone documented them?

I liked it at the cinema, but The Avengers was so action-heavy (especially after a labored opening half hour) I can't muster the interest to watch it again. I get why it's on the list though - it was so huge it seems disingenuous not acknowledge it.

There seems to be a backlash to all the hype of Skyfall but, as the entry says, no-one could deny it's an exceptionally good-looking action film. In a world of convoluted superhero films, I also liked its simplicity. The last quarter is just Bond killing a bunch of guys on a Scottish moor ferchrissake.
