Say it ain't so.....

Affleck as Batman just made the kid in me cry.

[James]

Me too. Get used to seeing this:

 

[Squirrel]

Meh. Don't really care.

That's it, turn in your nerd card, you're out of here.

Batman and Superman? Just so over and done with. The Avengers, now ... awesome!

[Brock Beauchamp]

This Batman/Superman movie shouldn't exist anyway so whatever.

 

I think Affleck is okay but I'm having a hard time hearing him (visually, he has the look) as Bruce Wayne.

 

DC/Time Warner continues to show that they have no idea what they're doing while Marvel is rolling in piles of money because they spent more than 15 minutes formulating a plan that consisted of more than "hey, let's smash Batman and Superman into the same movie, logic (and film continuity) be damned!"

[TheLeviathan]

Marvel gets it - superhero movies have to be fun. They can only be serious and dramatic if you have brilliant storytelling. Action and laughs are the real money makers. It's what I'm hoping Fox realizes soon with X-men.

Another advantage that Marvel has is that it's universe consists of real places instead of the fictional world of DC Comics (Smallville, Gotham City, Metropolis, Star City, etc.).

They also have a deeper supply of interesting characters and villains. DC I very top heavy.

 

Not that I am against top heaviness or anything......

Wait... was that about boobs?

 

*hehe, boobs

Your Kate Upton post was the beginning of the end of all decency here.

[Mike Sixel]

Well, no one thought much of Bale before the first movie.....I will give him a chance (if I even see it, I agree, Marvel gets it more than DC).

[Squirrel]

Wait... was that about moobs?

 

*hehe, moobs

Unless it's the first Iron Man, Sin City, or directed by Christopher Nolan, every comic book movie is/has been terrible.

Superman 1/2, V for Vendetta, A History of Violence, Batman, Avengers, Captain America, Men in Black, Hellboy, Road to Perdition, X-Men, X-Men First Class... All quality films (and I'm skipping several more that could be counted in the "above average" category).

Annnnd it was deleted. The world we live in now.... Can't even post pictures of super sexy women. Ahhh, I remember the sluts rule days....

V for Vendetta was pretty awesome. Men in Black had it's time. The rest are all pretty forgettable. It's just my opinion. I'm obviously in the minority.

Didnt care for First Class....the sequel probably has me more excited than I should be.

Oh man, I disagree. I think First Class was the best of the X-Men films.

[TheLeviathan]

Oh man, I disagree. I think First Class was the best of the X-Men films.

 

Parts of it were promising. Some of the characters were ok. But it didn't feel like the X-men, it felt like some lame, bastardized version of it to me.

 

I'm encouraged by parts of it, it's a good place to build from, but it lacks some of the heart and soul of the characters IMO.

[DaveW]

Batman vs Superman is going to be such a terrible, terrible, terrible flick. Snyder is a freaking hack that somehow messes up literal perfect scripts/source materials.

With this?

 

I'd set the over/under on rotten tomatoes at 30% (most of which were bought off)

[jimmer]

I think Affleck will be fine and the movie should be darn good.

Watchmen was very good. Both Captain America's were very good, Avengers was fun, Guardians of the Galaxy was very good.  I'm a James Spader fan so I also liked Age of Ultron. And there are more.

 

Somehow Daredevil, to me, has been better than practically any of the movies based on comics and all the TV shows based on comics.

I am with Brock on this.  I would like to see the rest of his list and am wondering why Guardians of the Galaxy did not make the first cut.

 

As for Aflek playing Batman, this is a superhero movie not Hamlet.

Made my first cut :-)

Affleck as Hamlet? THAT would make me cry :-)

I like your list as well -- all of it.  Probably, Watchmen is my all time favorite.

[TheLeviathan]

I didn't care for the Watchmen adaptation, but this move just isn't right on many levels. The marketing is Michael Bayish, the plot as we know it is nonsensical (could redeem), and it just seems to be focused on being big rather than good.

 

It was well behind Civil War, Apocalypse, and Deadpoolon my must-watch list - all of which seem to be staying true to what they are in the effort to make a good movie. And of those, Deadpool was a righteously devoted film to the character and turned into a unique movie who earned every ounce of the success it has seen.

 

I just get the exact opposite vibe from this movie.

[Craig Arko]

Ben Affleck as Deadpool would make me cry.

 

The trailers for Batman vs. Superman look pretty good. Still deciding on whether to see that on big screen.

 

Meanwhile, Tuesday nights can be taken by The Flash, and my two favorite MCU characters, Peggy Carter and Phil Coulson.

GotG hadn't released when I posted that list.
