I know almost nothing about Doctor Strange, but am hyped for this movie.
Thinking about the drops it might see, BvS also had really nothing in it's way for quite some time and still had terrible drops. It's difficult to predict for this one. It may be just seen as more fun by the general audience and get some repeat business. I still think $300M DOM is likely if the tremendous opening predicted happens.
By "objective viewpoints" Star Trek Into Darkness is supposedly better than Beyond, when really it's a burning trash fire.

What was the last REALLY good comic book movie villain. Ledger's Joker?
One more from the archives.

Holy fuck this is too good
Yo, Bane was great and Zod was a ton of fun.

I know he's a meme around here, but I really liked Hardy's Bane. Dude was imposing as fuck. Zod was pretty good too.

If we expand this to include Netflix, then Kingpin from Daredevil as well. No superpowers of any kind, yet a far better and even somewhat sympathetic villain than any of the marvel movies have.

Luthor was the real villain of BvS and you forgot Zod. Outside of Loki and Zemo Marvel villains have all been one off borefests, they don't have any real charisma and just exist as another stepping stone for the heroes. I don't see the likes of Ronan, Whiplash, Dark Elf Guy, Stane, Hammer, Red Skull, etc as any better than Luthor or Zod. At least Zod gave me a live action DBZ fight.
Loki was pretty solid. Bane as well.
Ah ok. Yeah after watching Jon Schnepp's documentary about Superman Lives and seeing what current DC is giving us, I'm really sad over what's been lost. Cage and Burton had some really interesting ideas, but people get hung up over that damn suit.

This is sad. I had some expectations and I'm still going to watch it, but if this is another terrible movie like MoS and BvS I don't know what to think about WB/DC.
If you're going to talk about the Netflix shows, Purple Man.

As A DC fan, all these movies getting bad reviews have been incredibly frustrating and disappointing. While I enjoyed BvS and MoS (for the most part), they could have been MUCH better.
I'll still see this since the trailers were good but man..

Zod was so charismatic IMO that he was too good for that mediocre movie. I was practically rooting for him by the end haha. And ya, Hardy Bane was fantastic, he just had the misfortune of following the greatest comic book villain portrayal of all time.
If we're including comic book TV shows, Kingpin and Killgrave

Well, that and Jon Peters wanting a giant spider, Brainiac fighting polar bears and having "a gay R2-D2" for a sidekick.
Definitely, Bane was ok to. Marvel I guess has Thanos but he has yet to debut
Bane was the shit.

Haven't seen all of Jessica Jones yet....getting there.
Oh and Punisher, though he is more frenemy than villain. I am SO stoked for his standalone, Punisher doesn't get enough love (seriously, read Punisher MAX).
It's almost as if the big takeaway from the BvS reviews was "look how many clicks we can get by trying to out-hyperbole one another"

It just seems like WB were reluctant on having a comic book universe in the first place, but just rolled with it when Snyder pitched the idea. They would have been much better off building a trilogy out of Man of Steel with better directors. All of this seems rushed and directionless.

I don't want it to be bad, no one who has any level of maturity does. But damn if it's enjoyable to see the reactions.
Why did you think that?
The problem here is that Jai Courtney was such a shitty sacrifice it had the inverse effect.

I liked Zemo in Civil War. He felt pretty subdued near the end.
I expected him to release those other soldiers. my eyes were already rolling in anticipation and it swerved from that. And his conversation with Black Panther was the highlight of the film, for me. He's a little one note and conventional for most of the movie but was actually good in the third act.
But Ledger as Joker is the last time I remember being captivated by a comic book villain on screen. Tom Hardy's Bane was killing it throughout most of Dark Knight Rises...but then...well, you know what happened with him.
I've all but resigned myself to the fact that these comic book movies are just going to keep tossing garbage villains at us until something sticks. Oh! I'm not a big fan of Man of Steel, but Michael Shannon's Zod was very well acted.
The worst superhero show by DC/Marvel on TV? No thank you.
