Not only did this era contain some of the most enduringly popular superhero movies, but it also enjoyed a fun streak of adventure movies and successful animated films. Crossing mediums, genres, and stars, the 2000s was indeed a remarkable era of cinema. While the decade saw many ups and downs, several key movies helped define this cinema era through a combination of fun blockbusters, risqué comedies, and beloved family movies. Not only were many endlessly entertaining movies created, but also several wonderful acting careers were launched. So while many see the decade as an era of simple popcorn flicks, this was the charm, not a weakness of the decade." - cbr.com
