#3 of 2005 King Kong - 49 Points

 

 

 

It clocks in at over three hours, but Peter Jackson's remake of the 1933 classic is gripping nonetheless. - Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader.

Coming in at #3 is Peter Jackson's epic adventure film "King Kong" The film while it didn't have the acclaim as his previous "Lord of The Rings" Trilogy, still received favorable reviews from critics, and was considered at the very least a sweeping visual treat. it was nominated for four Oscars winning three. (Best Sound Editing, Mixing, and best Visual Effects)

They're close, IMO. Conceivably they'd switch positions on a re-watch.

IMDB Rating: 8.3 IMDB TOP 250: #109

 

 

And the Winner of the the top 10 films of 2005 is none other than the legend of the caped crusader himself "Batman Begins" It's a nolan film so if there is a countdown with a film directed in that year, it's most likely going to win. that being said. Batman Begins was a triumph in a lot of ways, coming after the awful Batman & Robin, which pretty much single handedly kept Batman of movie screens for eight years. meant it really needed to up it's game if Batman was going to be welcomed back again, which fortunately it did, it was one of - if not the best received batman film to date at the time, and critics and fans loved it, praising it for it's darker more grounded tone. it was nominated for best cinematography at the Oscars.

 

 

#1 Placements: 1

 

 

Note: Despite winning the countdown it received the least amount of points out of any #1 film in the countdown, it also only received #1 number placement in fact there were only three that received more than one for 2005 (Kingdom of Heaven (2), Revenge of the Sith (2) and Wallace and Gromit (2)

#10 of 2015 Ant-Man - 21 Points

 

 

 

It functions well as a comedy, and light hearted fantasy, while channeling the spirit of classic Marvel tropes of the underdog, redemption, and the construction of an avenger.-

Felix Vasquez Jr., Cinema Crazed.

 

Storyline:Armed with a super-suit with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, cat burglar Scott Lang must embrace his inner hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.

 

 

Rotten Tomatoes Critical approval rating 79% average of 6.8/10

 

IMDB Rating: 7.5

 

 

Ant-Man makes the top 10! despite growing through a change of director and cast members, Ant-Man turned out to quite the hi, is it as good as if Edgar Wright had directed it? I guess we'll never know (probably not). but it was recieved positively by critics and fans and ended up grossing over $500m worldwide. good a enough to a sequel to be announced; Ant-Man and the Wasp. coming summer 2018!

#9 of 2015 Furious 7 - 22 Points

 

 

 

"Another factor that makes Furious 7 highly watchable is director James Wan's commitment to following the action from several characters' points of view within each set piece, and to making that action legible, if rarely plausible." - Margot Harrison, Seven Days.

 

Storyline: Deckard Shaw seeks revenge against Dominic Toretto and his family for his comatose brother. 

 

 

Rotten Tomatoes Critical approval rating 81% average of 6.7/10

 

IMDB Rating: 7.3

 

 

Furious Seven Makes the top 10, the film was received positive and surprisingly emotional mostly for Paul Walker's last film appearance, giving Brian O'Conner's character a proper send off. It is by far the highest grossing film in the "Furious" series grossing over $1.5b.

I never noticed, but then I never spend much time looking, but the perspective on that FF7 poster is so messed up.  How is 6' Vin not only taller than 6'2 Walker standing not only next to but in front of him but 6'5 Rock who's closest to the front.
