The Avengers VS The Dark Knight

[DinoLast]

The only movies from Marvel and Nolan's Batman trilogy that are comparable, are Batman Begins and Iron Man, because when the first Iron Man came out it seemed grounded in reality as close as a film like that could be.

Just saw Avengers last night. Dark Knight was superior IMO. Comparison is a bit hard because the nature of the movies, stories, and characters were so different, but Dark Knight felt like a more fulfilling movie-going experience. It was as if, this is just about the best you can do with a movie Batman. But with the Avengers guys, I think there is room for improvement, even though I really enjoyed the film.

 

[Albert Wesker]

I believe The Avengers is greater than the The Dark Knight.

 

[Alex Logan]

I believe The Avengers is greater than the The Dark Knight.

Of course you do.

 

[Kibagami]

I want to watch both! There should be a select all option.

 

[Sachiel]

I believe The Avengers is greater than the The Dark Knight.

The Avengers is safer than The Dark Knight.

 

[Nightwing]

Of course you do.

See. THIS is the kind of ____ im talking about. Nothing more than a pathetic pest. You are deliberately trying to piss him off. Grow Up

Good point! I loved your Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy vs Bond analogy. It's perfect. Both are spy movies but clearly setting out to create completely different styles of film. Just like Nolan's Batman films and the Marvel Universe movies are doing.

Yeah Begins and Iron Man are much more comparable for sure - Iron Man clearly took much inspiration from BB

That's why it's the best of the Marvel films.

To resume, nothing with a serious story line or it puts you to sleep. Gotchya....

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

Yeah, Avengers is definitely the superior film.

Sure, the Batman movies are realistic and serious..but they aren't entertaining whatsoever.


And I love serious, more realistic movies. Fincher's TGWTDT for example. I loved that movie. It was..amazing. It didn't put me to sleep. Didn't bore me. It was very well made.

It seems like that is all the Batman movies have going for them. And everyone chooses to like them because they think they're so deep..so complex..so dark...

I wanted to counter this with box office numbers and then realized "Avatar" made more than TDK and I don't think that movie is entertaining whatsoever either. So to each his/her own.

I personally love Nolan's movies. All of them, not just Batman. Not just because they are serious and grounded in some fantastic sense of realism, but because most of all they are entertaining.
