Pick one: TDKR/MOS/ASM2

[karamazov80]

Well, does it mean folks liked it just because they didn't ***** about it much? I thought it was pretty hum-drum, with some good scenes, and certainly better than Origins. My impression is that others feel the same way.

 

[JAWS]

I don't completely disagree

Me in Bold.

Every DC movie is bad and or mediocre when you think about it.


- Superman: The Movie (cheesy, non-relevant, spins the world back BS) I still love this film as CR is great as Superman. A wonderful family movie.- Superman II (Donner was cut out, final film blows with too much tongue and cheek humor, Superman boffed Lois, the kiss, orange juice) It has not aged well.
- Superman III (Gus Gorman) Not good
- Superman IV (nuff said) Awful

- Batman 1989 (overrated, more of a cultural phenomenon than a good movie) - 100% agree. Film has not aged well and was never that good to begin with.
- Batman Returns (evil, gross, sexual and weird, what's that black bile **** coming out of the Penguin's mouth?!?) - Better then the first but that is not saying much... Panguin's shooting missles is as dumb as anything in Comic book movies.

- Batman Forever (Saturday Night live on acid and crack with a heavy dose of gay) - I liked it back in the day.. Hs not aged well and is unwatchable.
- Batman and Robin (big budget toy commercial that takes the above up a couple of notches) - Worst Big Budget movie ever!!!!!!!!


- Catwoman (Lol) - No need to comment.

- Batman Begins (bad third act, movie goes down hill once he actually becomes Batman) - Without question the first part of the film is best. I still like it but he third act is lacking.

- Superman Returns (BORED, ambient inducing) - Nothing to add... I agree 100%

- The Dark Knight (overrated, more of an obsession with a posthumous performance than a good movie) - Here is where we disagree... One of the few film were my super high expectations were met. I still love it and find it almost perfect.

- Watchmen (too long, too into itself, caters to only the graphic novel reading nerd demograph that still complains cuz "omg, no giant octopus") - One word review - Meh

- Green Lantern (I don't remember much because I fell asleep, but people say it's bad so I believe them) - Pretty bad.

- TDKR (pretentious, bloated with a sloppy screenplay) - A very disappointing end to a great good series. I liked Bane though.

- MoS (bleak, morally/ethically grey, makes me want to commit suicide) - Lol to your comment!!! Such a downer of a film. No fun at all. How can something with so much action be so boring. I swar I think if it did not look like it was overcast all the time I would enjoy it a little more.



I've never seen Steel or Jonah Hex so those could be good, yeah? Never watched them either.

I really don't have much hope for BVS or JL. Zack S... is proving to be an average director for me. Dawn of the Dead was his best work. 300 looked cool but most of the credit shoud go to Frank Miller... Watchmen was meh... Sucker Punch was AWFUL and he made Superman depressing.

Damn.

I'd add Blade 2, The Wolverine, Batman Returns & Watchmen and remove Thor and The First Avenger (I like them but they aren't looked at favourably)

What about The Wolverine? I don't remember too many people *****ing about it last summer. The only gripe seemed to be the Silver Samurai bic boi which was just the usual comic book film third act problem.

Wolverine was the least criticised of last years movies.

People should like TIH more then Thor. In my Hulk biased opinion anyways.

I think most thought it was OK but not great. I did think the Director's cut improved it because it gave us more Wolverine fighting the Ninja army.

 

[JAWS]

Spider-Man 1 and 2 got Spider-Man "right" too though (in better, superior films to boot), sooooo.

3 does nothing for me really, but after seeing the Marc Webb movies, I'd be more inclined to put it above them just to spite the "oh man, I think this misunderstood movie is great YO" crowd. Know what I mean?






Anyway, we'll always have Captain America: The First Avenger and Captain America: The Winter Soldier kid,

We can atleast agree that those are great stuff (unless you want to suddenly be a Spidey cheerleader).

Eek... Spiderman 1 is pretty bad IMO... Never understood the love. It's like a blend of what you said about 89 Batman and Batman beigins... "It more of a cultural phenomenon than a good movie" amd "it was better bfore he put on the Spiderman (batman) suit."

 

[batfan08]

I still love 89 Batman. Prince soundtrack and all. Jack is a joy to watch, and Keaton's Batman is pitch perfect .

 

[Khev]

Whether or not you disagree with one or two of my choices for the Marvel/DC list it is not debatable that Marvel has been trouncing DC since 2008 and has been going toe to toe or bettering them since 1998.

Jaws was just a cultural phenomenon too, not a good movie (Bruce is a superhero).

Like 1989 shaved bat heads and bat t-shirts to 2002's, uhhh, Spider-Man poptarts, all Jaws did was make New Jersey chicks afraid to go to the beach.

 

[Khev]

FYI JAWS, when DiFabio's feathers are ruffled due to one of his beloved films being criticized he goes into "then all movies suck" mode. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Wut? I blasted Superman, Batman 1989, Begins and Dark Knight before anyone in here. FIRST.


Also, I don't get the "meh" attitude towards Cap: The First Avenger. What should they have done differently for Steve Roger's first cinematic adventure? Chris Evans was great, the costume looked good, the character was well written, the plot/story was appropriate. Why do people think it's ass?

 

[RIDDICK]

 

[DiFabio]

Very timely and current of you Riddick.

Also, Godzilla 1998 > Man Of Steel (Superman maimed more people and committed more property damage than my boy Godzilla)

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Actually the Kryptonians did that. Superman just couldn't prevent it. And with three on one odds who the hell could.

It's one of my favourites of the MCU. The problem that I think people have is that the first half before he becomes Cap is great then when he becomes cap they gloss over his WWII years in a montage and then a long final battle act to rush him to the future for the Avengers.

And there's no Nazis in a WWII movie set in Eurooe (for the second half).

Even First Class had more Nazis than WWII Captain America

Yeah, but nothing that could have been done. If they focused more on WWII and dedicated Cap's first film to that (strictly as a period piece if you will), he wouldn't be included in the Avengers. If he wasn't in the Avengers, people would have *****ed regardless. Also, the lack of Nazi's don't bother me, we all know the reason they were sort of pushed aside.

Really, what could they have done? I think they struck all the right notes. The only thing I didn't like was the stupid laser guns, big ass tank and flying the plane into the arctic. Other than that, solid movie. Anyone that says otherwise are nitpicking babies.

I'd love to see a one-shot, period piece film of Cap going up against Nazi Germany and Hitler in the 1940s, but that wasn't in the cards. I'm not going to hold "world building" against Captain America: The First Avenger either because it's much more focused as a singular film unlike, say, Iron Man 2 or ASM2. The "bigger picture" didn't get in the way.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

I think that was another complaint the sci-Fi like genre of it, I didn't have a problem with that.

I disagree about the bigger picture getting in the way. It wasn't obvious setting things up like in other movies but it rushed through his WWII days to get him where he needed to be for another movie. They could've had this as his origin movie then a second in WWII to establish him as a strategist hero of WWII and then freeze him at the end, but they chose to rush through that for the grand plan.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

TDKR.

But then no Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier.

In fact, if they had done that, the Avengers as we know it would JUST be coming out now.

You could argue that any film is terrible with the right amount of nitpicking.

True, I personally prefer Cap in WWII as was annoyed we go didn't get to see enough of that. Them being pushed back to properly establish him with another WWII movie would've sat fine with me.

Just my opinion.
