Avengers or TDKR is good but not better than Superman: The Movie or Watchmen

Watchmen didn't really have same impact for me. I think partly because Watchmen as a comic was somewhat revolutionary for it's time, but by the time it reached the big screen, it just seemed as though we had seen in it all before. The bleakness and the darkness and gritty heroes.
As for it's technical accomplishments, and by that i mean being able to visually bring the book alive in amazing detail, i appreciate the film for that. But for me this doesn't make a good film.
As for Superman, i enjoy Superman, and Superman 2, but i think it's slightly (spare me...) over-rated... Here come the stones!
It's good, but i think nostalgia clouds just how good it may have really been and elevates it to a point where some just won't accept that another comic book film may actually be better, simply because it may go against our childhood memories
It's the same with Star Wars, it isn't as good as it is made out to be, at least for me anyways

By the way, i'm not suggesting that you like Superman better than other Comic Films for the reasons that i mentioned. Or maybe you do, who knows!? (apart from you of course)
From someone who as never read a comic and has gained his knowledge of superheroes from movies and this place, I give this film 8/10.
I didn't want to go straight back in for a second viewing like with The Avengers, but it's definitely a Bluray preorder film for me.

Cool! Come back after your wife let's you...I mean after you see it! Then your trolling will actually work a little better.
What kinda of an arrogant bastid comes to a thread day after day and talks shyyt about a movie he hasn't seen? And by the sounds of it doesn't even want to like! (And it's not even like the shyyt talking is immense, it's that you like talkin smack to people that DO like it, and you haven't even seen it)
At least Celtic has seen the effin thing.
Apparently not nearly as arrogant of a bastard as one who trolls the thread, gets banned and is so pathetic that he has to create an alt to troll the thread while banned.
And saw it. Meh. Didn't hold a candle to TDKR which couldn't even touch Avengers.

After seeing TDKR, I appreciate all three movies (The Avengers, AMZ Spiderman, TDKR) a hell of alot. I enjoyed all three 
, and will see TDKR again since I saw the other two twice also. However, I feel the need to rate them from "least to most" isn't needed, especially for someone like me who enjoyed all 3.

That's the thing. You shouldn't have to choose at all
. I see someone picking a favorite out of a particular series (BB, TDK, TDKR), but picking one from another series over another is -__-

I don't like the need people have fir them to have them compete.
However, part of the reason i prefer ASM to those (same last year with X-Men) is it had to work hard to get me and others to love it based solely on the film itself, the other two have people claiming they are the best movies in history BEFORE they even released. Where's the fun in seeing a movie you're being told you have to love.

Not sure I agree with that. Avengers was a worry because Whedon had never written a film on that grand of a scale let alone a film that required that much action. TDKR was also worrysome (to the non-polesquatters) because it had many issues as well, Bane being actually smaller than Batman, no mention of the Joker, etc.

Well, we finally saw this last night in 3D.
All three of us enjoyed it, and my only major gripe was that PP was a bit too popular and that the film was overall a shade too long.
That's it. Those are my only gripes about the film. All the rest I really enjoyed. I also do not understand the bashing that Sam Raimi's trilogy now seems to get. When the first one came out I was thrilled!
I personally was not fond of III, I never thought that Tobey Maguire was right for the role and I was not a fan of killing off the villains permanently. But there was till a huge amount to enjoy in them. J.K. Simmonds totally nailed J J Jameson, Alfred Molina was excellent as Doctor Octopus, the suit was just like the comics, the action was fast and frenetic...what was not to like? The three movies are a vital first act in the cinematic life of SPIDER-MAN.
I also really like the new movie. It does not in any way mean that I now have to hate the previous three (...partly
and partly 
)!

Loved the movie, saw it last night (at last). Such a pity about the CG-fest but the rest was great fun.
