There's no problem or contradiction in admiring a film while not liking it, because after all films are not entirely subjective, and there are many objective qualities to a film that a real critic (someone like Bordwell) can point out to, while not loving the piece. Probably the only objective film...

Explain and explain? Saying that...

I just watched The Assassin, It's my favourite film of 2015. Such a hypnotic masterpiece.

Well let be honest james bond was always standing for a kind of adolescent fantasy (beautiful girls, attractive dangers, weird gadgets, cartoonish violence..etc) and unlike serious films like The Spy Who Came in from the Cold or Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy in which they did present a real life danger ...

Thats why I lik George Smiley more than Bond, he's a better man all around (a real human being)

I loved love and mercy, it was my second most memorable movie going experience this year.

Lucky you. I'm very desperate to watch this, it's my most anticipated film with Hou's The assassin.

This is a great year, with many quality films and the return of great directors like Hou Hsiao-Hsien and Apichatpong Weerasethakul, and I'm still waiting to see these films to give a complete ranking:

The Assassin
Son of Saul
Carol
Cemetery Of Splendour
The Lobster

Yeah, This is his best film with Memento.
