Metacritic this week compiled lists of the best-reviewed films released during 2000-2009, and it was a reminder that we live in the golden age of fanboy films -- six of the top 10 films were fantasy or animated features of the sort that we cover right here at Hero Complex. And at the top of the list? The 2006 masterpiece ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ by director Guillermo del Toro, and I can’t think of a better film to hold that lofty spot.
