Hugo

I read a few reviews of this last week - and I agree with them all.  It deliberately stays very real where it could become farcical.  Yes, the inspector is rather out of place in this otherwise grounded story, but it's not to the point of distracting from enjoyment of the story.

Terminator: Salvation

They've run out of ways to exploit their "go back in time to save the future" schtick, so at this point they've just turned this franchise into post-apocalyptic warfare with an abundance of references to story lines we're assumed to know.  It could be a Resident Evil script if they'd just replace robots with demons - totally generic.
