Don't worry, you're clearly missing Del Toro's excellent characters and world-building.

Maybe. He's just Peter Jackson 2.0 in my eyes.

Yes exactly. He's the upgraded version of Jackson.

He actually has some interesting ideas and a sense of the visual that Peter Jackson 1.0 was shipped without.

He's in the easily skippable directors category for me. With Von Trier, I at least suspect I might be missing something one day, even though I usually hate his movies. With Del Toro, I don't feel like there's any chance that I'll find any future movie of his amazing.
Welp, I don't know what to tell you. I think Pan's Labyrinth is one of the best movies of the 00s. The Devil's Backbone is also amazing, as are The Shape of Water and Hellboy II. Hellboy and Blade II are highly entertaining, if a little bit more normal. Mimic and Pacific Rim are ok. I've never seen Cronos or Crimson Peak.

I'm not saying everyone is wrong about him - just that I don't like his movies.

Pan's Labyrinth is so far from being my favorite film of the 00's that it's not even faintly visible in the distance. Last time I watched it, I was feeling very disappointed. I really thought I would like it a bit more than that.

What are some of your favorite movies from that decade?
