Meh... you don't have to be insulted... I liked X-Men: Origins.

I just wouldn't put it in the same category as those (Hotel Rwanda etc.) And I liked those other ones for sure.
This one just didn't do a whole lot for me. Like I said, better than average, but nothing to write home about. 3 to 3.5 stars out of 5.

I guess this is the part I don't quite get... I think this movie definitely belongs with those other three. Do you have an example of a 'similar' movie that's better? If The Wrestler is so cliche, it should be pretty easy.

I just felt it was a story I had seen many times before. And characters I had seen many times before. Perhaps it was purposefully cliche, in which case fine, that's a good tool to tell a story sometimes. I just wasn't blown away by it. There was nothing new in it for me, I didn't feel like I learned anything at the end or had my thinking challenged. I usually reserve the top spots for movies in my mind for ones that do that to me.

Example? "Cliche" is a super-easy term to throw around and not back up. It's cliche to use the word 'cliche' when describing a movie.
Obviously we all have our own opinions though. It'll definitely get categorized as one of the better dramas of the decade in my mind, along with the previously mentioned (Little Miss Sunshine, Hotel Rwanda, Brokeback Mountain).
