Pick one: TDKR/MOS/ASM2

[DiFabio]

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

Go on . . .

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

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.

Those are among the problems I had with it. Along with the lasers, big ass gun, and giant plane thing. I think I'd liked two films as well. And they could have solved the problem by planning TWO Cap movies before Avengers. IM had two films before the big outing.

I voted TDKR. I didn't care for it at first due to the huge jump in time, the serious lack of Batman, and the ending but after repeat viewings and accepting Nolan's films as their own entity rather than a direct adaptation of the comics it's a great series and it's a worthy ending to the series even if it might be the weakest. I hated ASM and really have no interest in seeing the second one anytime soon. MOS wasn't horrible but I'd never want to see it again.

"Go on" like what? Make a list or something. That'd be very time consuming. I'm just saying, even some of the greatest films have flaws, and, with the right amount of amplification, those flaws can be made out to make the film seem terrible. Specifically, comic book films, because it's a balancing act. You've got to have the right amount of action and excitement, enough levity to keep it from getting boring, and enough drama to make you forget that the people you're watching are wearing gaudy multi-colored costumes.

try and tell me what flaws Citizen Kane has... try it... I Dare you... I double triple dare you

 

[batfan08]

I would if I'd seen it, but I feel that it's be wrong to judge it when I hadn't even seen it. It's one of those films that I really, really, really want to see, but it's just a matter of getting around to it.

Star Wars is immune to nitpicking. It was flawless. I mean the whole final act with the Rebels stranded on Yavin's moon with no means whatsoever of just entering space and fleeing the danger was riveting. Good thing Luke blew up the Death Star or the Alliance would have been screwed.

 

[Khev]

I wouldn't advise folks to watch a Zach Snyder joint and skip out on the action scenes.

I'd love it if WB labeled Batman vs. Superman as "A Zach Snyder Joint" in the credits.

Luke Skywalker's lightsaber color changes. Vaseline on the lens. Darth Vader's dome about to fall off when he's looking for Ben. Why didn't the Empire just shoot through the planet to get to Yavin. Why didn't the Empire just close the hole, or defend it better? Bad pacing. Aged poorly (and it gets even worse with the 90s CGI abominations).

They could have evacuated Yavin, but ESB taught us that the only way to escape the enemy is to fly directly towards them. (evacuating Hoth/ escaping Bespin)

Leia didn't even try to find a transport. They could have easily had a back up plan to escape Yavin, espeically with the Death Star only approaching from one side.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Produced by Warner Bros. owned by DC, feature masked comic book heroes and references to other DC comics (like Batman).

It's on the list.

Dave Gibbons owns the rights

Okay, DC's name was attached to the film. How's that?

 

[Irvy]

I'll vote spidey without even having seen it, I hate the other two THAT much

The Star Wars Death Star battle has got to have some of the most contrived "tension" in the history of cinema. A planet destroying space station that refuses to destroy a planet and a base full of rebels that refuses to board their transports just so we could have Luke shooting his torpedoes "at the last second."

They paid lip service as to why Tarkin was going to stand his ground in the face of potential doom, why not the rebels? Ah good old SW, riddled with logic errors but we don't care.

Actually, no, I don't care.


Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back are magical to me, I could find faults, but I love them so much that I simply overlook them. Even when my mind is telling me "man, Star Wars looks dated with those effects and hair cuts", I'm still like, "I don't care, it's Star Wars". Same goes with all the other movies I love vs. the ones I hate. I can easily look past some of the weird story problems with The Dark Knight (like Harvey Dent's entire motivation that's shoehorned in at the end just for the climax), but I won't, why? Because I love it. On the other hand, with say, something like TDKR, I could find anything and everything wrong with it because I despise it. It's why I overlook the spinning planet thing in Superman: The Movie but go on a rampage about DNA genetic codex. Or why I think "Rain Drops keep fallin' on my head" in Spider-Man 2 is brilliant while Kid Cudi's "Pursuit of Happiness" in ASM2 is garbage.

It's all about the feels.

 

[Khev]

It's all about the feels.

Yep. Which is why no one ever can convince someone that a movie "sucks" because of "faults" they state on the internet. If you love a movie, you forgive the faults. If you hate a movie, you don't. What makes a person love or hate a movie? A million different things, many of which are unique to each individual's life experiences and preferences.

It's funny how some of us can agree so 100% on certain movies and then be polar opposites on others.

I enjoyed all three films but liked the Dark Knight Rises the most.

TDKR first, then MOS, then AS2
