It might not have been that long, but felt like it. That movie was your Rogue One for the year it came out :lol

Cap TFA was huge for me (no not RO huge but it was still a really big deal.) I mean I still love the movie today but not only has Cap always been my favorite superhero but I was almost resigned to the fact that I'd never see a decent portrayal in live-action. Now we have an entire trilogy that is so good it is only beneath the likes of SW OT, LOTR, and TDK trilogy. Amazing turnaround there. I do seem to remember you being put off by some of the dodgy CGI but that's all that really comes to mind. :lol

The main debates I remember taking part in were when I thought that TDKR was being nitpicked to death, the latter two Hobbit films, and TFA (Force Awakens that is.) Oh and I think I was in the minority in defending Prometheus as well.

Even though I still believe that TDKR got a bum rap one of the single funniest posts I've ever read on this site and that I still chuckle about occasionally to this day was one that DiFabio made when he was roasting the movie. He said something to the effect of "the entirety of Batman's detective work in the film was when Alfred simply walked over to the computer and googled the word 'Bane.'" Lol, it's funny because it was pretty much true.

Second place comedy goes to your MOS reviews. I swear I should have stickied those things. :lol

So the review embargo for this lifts on May 31'st which is interesting, since the premiere is May 25'th. I wonder if DC is lacking confidence in this, and how it will be overall received critically, and at the box office.

Whether it's good or not, it will beat BVS opening or match it because people will go see it . So this will make money

Majority people will not pay attention to the critic reviews as this will definitely be " I'll see it for myself and judge " flick
 
Embargo until 2 days before opening tells me DC has no confidence.

If reviews meant nothing, there would be no embargos.

Most people DO rely on reviews believe it or not.

DCU/WB execs is the guy in the coffin. Resistance to the very end. I find it troubling that they don't want the critics sharing their thoughts until the eve of release basically.
 
Yeah, it would be nice for DC if this turns out even okay, and also for us fans. But, we look back at the track record so far for the DCU which doesn't bode well for instilling confidence...

SS was one of the worst films last year

BvS was trying to do way too much. It felt like there were several movies all rolled into one package. I will admit that I enjoyed very much the WW bit, and Affleck in and out of the cowl. Irons was cool as Alfred. Downer Supes sucked.

MoS could have used more levity. I did enjoy the 'self discovery' of Supes.

But yeah, I don't have much stock in the DCU. I think DC was best off keeping their films seperate from one another. I still feel that way. Even if WW ends up being half-decent, the DCU will have a long ways to go. Even if they get along far enough.
 
I still wonder if I can stand that accent of Gal's for two plus hrs of dialog . I hope the WW action makes up for it

I can only take much of Pine's acting as well :slap
