Key briefing points about this article:

  • Consider the difficulties of trying to rate and compare new movies
  • This can be done by contrasting with ones that same year, or all-time, or versus perfection

Introduction

A fun or certainly provocative way to start a conversation involves mentioning a recently released film and then making some bold statement about whether it was a wonderous film or launch into trashing the movie and claim it was a worthless use of film.
