Well, lets just get this thing going full circle.




Ironman 2 was far worst than Thor 2.

Nope nope nope. Ironman 2 had stark and Sam Rockwell

Thor 2 is an mcu Thor movie. It already loses every competition by default

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

It had deep and meaningful references to King Arthur and biblical allusions.

I like how all those claiming Batman v Superman to be smarter then the average superhero movie completely leave this abortion out of the conversation:

 

[Magwik]

Amazing the lengths people will go to convince themselves that BvS was good.

Amazing the lengths people will go to to dismiss positive opinions on BvS

 

[TheDanger]

to all the posters who insulted me for an opinion, did you ever feel loved?

 

[Carlius]

Fucking nobody. Get your head checked

lmao...a little agressive dont you think? am with OP. Enjoyed batman v superman a lot more.

I liked Thor 2

ta da

Not nearly as much as said positive opinions try to dismiss the 'haters' and their critiques as bias.

 

[Sadist]

Honestly the movie is so confusing for the general public;

There was a nice gentleman next to me (about in his late fifties or maybe early sixties) and after the movie ended he looked at me, shook his head and actually told me: "I have no idea what just happened"

That man will forever define the movie for me lol.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Of course what? I liked a movie that you didn't? A few of my friends are in the same boat, though they have seen the entire MCU and like that decently enough.

You can like whatever you wanna like but it's just hilarious to me that you claim BvS wasn't a "big dumb superhero movie" when it does exactly the same big dumb shit most MCU movies do.

 

[black070]

to all the posters who insulted me for an opinion, did you ever feel loved?

Your opinion is just as valid as anyone else's on here, that being said - you're wrong.

Batman and Superman's arcs are way better than most of what I've seen in the MCU. The cinematography is way better than most of what I've seen in the MCU. The soundtrack was way better than most of what I've seen in the MCU. The acting is way better than most of what I've seen in the MCU. The villain was much better than most of what I've seen in the MCU. I could go on.

I totally get that, but I think if you know some stuff about Batman and Superman it works.

I dunno I have been awake for 24 hours now

 

[kurahador]

Some of the newer ones suck, but even Justice League Doom, Crisis on Infinite Earths, and a fuckton of movies before those were great.

Also Dark Knight and Dark Knight Returns were awesome.

Eh...they were ok considering DCAU did it better. Also when I said DCAU, it refers to Paul Dini/Bruce Timm continuity.

I like how MCU fanboys leave this abortion out of the conversation:

This abortion has likable main character and sympathetic villain, can't say the same about your masterpiece.

I like how MCU fanboys leave this abortion out of the conversation:

This was still better than Batman v Superman, though.

 

[Yeezus H. Christ]

They don't. No one tries to claim the MCU is perfect, or deep.

You're actually trying to say BvS is some tour de force, though.

What's wrong with it? It was a cool twist on the Doomsday character, and I say that cringing cause lol, that actually fits the other movie's concepts.

 

[RDreamer]

I'm trying to claim that I loved the movie and it's up there with some of my favorite comic movies. I'm not even claiming it's the number one or two or anything. I like Watchmen, Batman Begins, and Dark Knight more than it right off the top of my head.

 

[PadWarrior]

Not only got through it, I fucking loved BvS.

It tried (and in my mind succeeded) in doing way more than the MCU movies I've seen. It was more than just a big dumb superhero movie.

not far worse

just a little worse

 

[Discotheque]

Nah I'd put BvS around the middle if we compared it to the entire mcu

The ones that are definitively better imo: cap 2 (and presumably 3), Iron Man 1 and 3, Guardians, Avengers 1

Everything else is below it imo.

bar Batman Begins I agree, but BB is great and better than TDKR which I also like though.

Thor 1 and 2 are better movies than either of DC universe movies so far by a huge mile.

I don't know how you can honestly say that anything in Batman vs Superman is better than most of MCU unless your delusional. Batman was the only redeeming thing in Batman vs Superman, Superman was completely lame hero who was written very poorly.

For someone who makes some good points most times, you are crazy.

Batman Begins is the best Nolan Batman movie, though.

i really liked this movie. And everyone felt relatable and like actual people. Thor had actual character development.

BvS not the other hand....just um no

There was character development in that trash? All I got from it was that Natalie Portman didn't feel like acting and as such the love angle between her and Thor was simply because they were both hot people. And don't get me started on the Thor is worthy cheesy fucking stupid bullshit the rest of the movie pulled. It was a dumpster fire of bad all around.

Incredible Hulk is better than BvS. Agents of SHIELD is better than BvS.

 

[Sadist]

I totally get that, but if you know some stuff about Batman and Superman it works.

Barely. Still, if you need pre-existing knowledge about a movie before it works you failed as a movie. Especially with all what's going on in BvS. I mean I'm somewhat knowledgable about the DC universe but you have to assume the casual guy or gal who walks into the theater doesn't. It hurt the movie too.

 

[Discotheque]

I think WETA just dug it up from their archives and called it a day

 

[Anth0ny]

I'd rank BvS the same as I'd rank Thor 2. 6/10. Good not great. Clearly flawed.

I understand that I enjoy those two films FAR more than the majority.

The only MCU film I'd rank BvS above is Hulk.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

The best part of this thread is everyone running back into their corners to snicker and snipe at those who disagree with them afterwards. Just enjoy your movies..as good or bad as they are.

And at the end of the day it's still an incoherent mess of a film that does absolutely nothing to elevate superhero movies and will only go down in history as the movie that might have crippled the DCEU from the jump.

I'd put Man of Steel at a mid-tier MCU film in terms of quality.

BvS is down there in Batman & Robin / Elektra tier.

No, before this you were going on about how BvS isn't a 'dumb popcorn movie' like the MCU. Like it was some work of art with deep messages and themes, with something actually to say about society, lmao.

Like, you don't really think that, do you? BvS is a big bombastic CGI-filled destruction-porn-esque extravaganza like all the rest.

 

[JLynn]

What's wrong with it? It was a cool twist on the Doomsday character, and I say that cringing cause lol, that actually fits the other movie's concepts.

According to what I read and saw Doomsday is basically this.

From arguably the worst comic book movie ever. Even worse than Bat-Nipples.

 

[Spinluck]

Yeah.

There was a guy who followed dc and even he didn't know that was flash during that bizarre dream sequence.

 

[TheDanger]

Batman Begins is the best Nolan Batman movie, though.

in what ways do you think it surpasses The Dark Knight? I respect your opinion, but I really don't understand even though I am a sucker for superhero origin stories.

casual guys are happy as long as the action is good and it's visually pleasing, when I watch movies with people and they don't get something they always blame themselves and not the movie haha.

Like, you don't really think that, do you? BvS is a big bombastic CGI-filled destruction-porn-esque extravaganza like all the rest.

Even if you reduce it to that the cinematography and soundtrack put it miles above a lot of MCU films. So if they're all CGI extravaganzas, BvS wins in that department too.

I'd rank BvS the same as I'd rank Thor 2. 6/10. Good not great. Clearly flawed.

I understand that I enjoy those two films FAR more than the majority.

The only MCU film I'd rank BvS above is Hulk.

I feel like I liked Hulk more than almost anyone else around here, too. Certainly more than Iron Man 2 and Thor. Possibly slightly more than Iron Man 1.

 

[Maxim726X]

So people are still perpetuating this 'BvS was super deep and intricate! You just didn't understand' it narrative?

Huh.

So it's not so much 'people', as it is one guy now getting dogpiled.

 

[More_Badass]

BvS was a fun action movie, not much more
