Saw the movie not to long ago and went in with low expectations due to some casting choices and I have to say that to me it was alright. I think this movie would have really benefited from giving Batman and Superman stand alone movies before this. Honestly I would of like more Superman in this and was also pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this Batman.

Last good movie Jeremy of Irons was in was probably Kingdom of Heaven (2005)
I am of course referring to the director's cut
Dungeons & Dragons

Jeremy's... Iron...

I think I would rather watch Anderson Cooper reacting to the final fight live on in-universe CNN for 3 hours than watch this movie again.

Better than Thor..what an achievement lol.
For real, I love that movie. Shane Black did a pretty stellar job with making a stand-alone Iron Man that wasn't about bringing in so many different cameos from other MCU titles.
You have chosen...wisely.
No fun is definitely not right, as there's some to be had. Just not enough. There are a few good to great moments scattered among the wreckage. I liked the "I thought she was with you..." exchange when WW shows up, in particular.

The one direction kid is only in a small part, the leads are unknown
It also has the two best supporting actors of last year, rylance and Hardy, in it.
Probably should check a dictionary for the definition of that word...

I just like what I like. Way of The Samurai 2 for example. LOVED it. Got a 3 or 4 out of 10 from GI back in the day and baffled me.
Fighting Force. LOVED it. But not like it's well loved.
Snake Eyes with Nic Cage. Brilliant movie.
Nolan's earned the benefit of the doubt when it comes to his casting choices. He's shown an incredible eye for talent.

The most poorly-received piece of media I've ever enjoyed was probably Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi
I watched Thor 2 this morning. BvS is worse by a country mile.

Hey, man. Your money. Your time. Your taste. Do you! I wasn't mocking you at all..
although, maybe a little now for Snake Eyes lol
As soon as I see/hear Kat Dennings, my brain hurts. And that's just one problem I have with that shit. At least BvS has Batman in it..

I'd give the thors a 3 or 4 and this and ant man a 5. Deadpool a 6.
it's time we use all the numbers on the spectrum brehs. You can still enjoy 1 or 2 star movies. Some not at all.

BvS has higher highs. Thor 2 is less stupid and more coherent. Ultimately though I think I prefer BvS. At least I'll probably remember it a year from now unlike Thor 2.
I hate scoring shit. It feels so pointless when we compare completely different films with different intents with just numbers, just to try and "rank" what we like.
I enjoy Marvel films because they're a fun ride, most of them are light hearted simplistic, and it's nice to see heroes I enjoyed in comics come to life for 2 hours or so. The connected universe is also fun. Thor 2 though, was about as mediocre and unambitious as you can get for a film in a franchise which is already relatively unambitious once they found the footing for the formula.
Batman v Superman is probably the boldest and more ambitious large scale blockbuster comic movie ever made. It's also deeply flawed, but the movie made me feel something. Which is more than I can say for stuff like Age of Ultron or Spectre.

I'd go 2 Thor. 5 BvS (hopefully fixed with DE release). 6-7 Ant-Man/Deadpool.
Agreed..
No, it doesn't.

You don't get to bring friends.
While I was okay with Thor 2 I actually blanked as I read this as I don't really remember much about that movie either. I don't even remember the villains name..?
In any case it's been interesting to see everyone's reaction to the movie as I had some brief involvement on the movie. It's also nice to know that the movies problematic bits were clear in the bits I did see way back in October so I wasn't going crazy.

I mean, I hear you, but Snyder has made me not like Superman at all. I actually thought he showed way more emotion in MoS..a movie that I find ok for a couple of reasons, him not being one of them. I think like many others I'm just looking forward to a solo Batman film that Snyder has no hands in. The only parts of this movie that kept me interested was Batman..minus his little montage lol.

Only thing memorable about Thor 2 is the collector..oh, and that Cap joke..I guess.

It was Malekith but he was barely a character in that movie. His presence was so minimized I can't even get upset over what a bad version of the character it is
All of the good parts in Thor 2 feature Loki, and he's not in it that much. Forgettable is really the perfect descriptor for the movie. I didn't really hate it until I went back and watched it again.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Both films you mention just flow through the motion without adding much more; BvS just has so much happening, it's exhausting.
But the real question is, is it better than Gods of Egypt? The true test.

Ok. Just went back from theater seeing it, and my overall opinion. Its average, but only because its imo horrible like the first hour and a half, but excuse me , but when the action begin
, it deserve a score for me a 6 out of ten.
Lets face it, the story suck ass, all the first hour and a half is nothing you wanna see. I seriously tough about leaving the theater. But for action scenes, it was excellent. Seriously the ending saved the movie for me. And for those who havent seeing it, i highly recommand if seeing an excellent action scene is worth the price of waiting this hour and a half to see where the fun begin.
I cant wait to see back this action scene. I need to see it one more time.
with batman facing superman, and the honnestly amazing Batman battle vs the 20 guys

Oh, don't agree. I saw him post it, and laughed and laughed. I can guarantee you, I'd hate that movie to death. I'd likely rather watch fucking Thor..
I dunno I quite enjoyed the movie, definitely better then it's RT score. I'd put it in a 7 range. I think people's expectations were way to high after the last batman trilogy and marvel's recent output. I went into it open minded and enjoyed it for what it was, a movie to ultimately help build their later franchises that are upcoming.
