But the Winter Soldier was so good that there's no way that was a fluke. They got the tone of the Marvel Universe right and it's just done in a way that no other film in that series stacks up against it. Can't be a fluke.

Meh. Winter Soldier is overrated. There I said it.

 

[matt47]

Eh, Winter Soldier is overrated. There I said it.

I guess it is overrated. But it is certainly the best film Marvel has done yet imo.

Ok El Mayimbe Jr Lex shaves his head to conceal that he strangled the Senator to death, where he fully turns to his dark self right?

not saying i know how scene will go down but lex gonna kill finch and it has to do with his bald look somehow. read the interview with eisenberg and how something significant really causes this. i don't think it's just kryptonite poisoning

I agree, though I did enjoy it.

For me, that title belongs to Guardians of the Galaxy.

That seems to be a common thing too. I personally think Guardians is overrated.

 

[Clark-Kent]

I liked Guardians more than expected and WS less than I thought I would I found WS kinda boring at times.

It definitely has it's shortcomings, especially the villain. That said, I found it to be one of the most genuinely fun (as cliche as that is to say) movies I've seen in recent memory with characters that are quite endearing.

So how bout that batman v superman? im hoping its a smash hit. Affleck looks awesome as batman i hope he completely owns it, and i expect cavill to surpass Christopher Reeves superman with this movie.

It certainly is a fun movie. But for me, that's about all it was. Kinda want more in my movies.

I didn't take it as a dig. Just a deliberate attempt to steer the convo back on topic and I agreed with his feelings towards BvS.

 

[Clark-Kent]

Here is some more steering. Thought it kinda belonged in this thread

I hope Superman uses freeze breath to clear out all those fires

 

[Cats]

I still think that Iron Man 1 is the best Marvel has come up with, Antman comes second. I fell asleep during Guardians of the Galaxy, and I get annoyed with the whole S.H.I.E.L.D conspiracy aspect that played out throughout Winter Soldier. Nick Fury and rest of the Avengers were completely played for fools, and that doesn't really speak very well for any of them. Plus key members of the Avengers were very visibly missing from the cast, seeing as the corruption of S.H.I.E.L.D would also affect them.

I'm optimistic BvS, SS and the upcoming JL movie will do a lot better.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I know i probably dont have the popular opinion here, but I think Cavill will completely surpass Reeve as Clark and Superman. The one thing that i really like about cavill is his ability to act through his eyes which is powerful for a character like superman, Chris Evans has the same ability and uses it flawlessly as cap. I hope terrio has written the role of superman and clark with more meat, which seems like a natural progression from where kal-el is more passive.

 

[Clark-Kent]

I'm not huge fan on the tone and storylines completely of the Reeve Superman films. I respect their significance in really starting the genre to blockbuster superhero films. I'll say this though, perfect look and voice for Superman. Even hard for Cavill to top!

Felt he did a good job of emoting with facial expressions as well.

From what we saw in MOS, Cavill is an awesome Superman, but he won't surpass Reeve in terms of acting, only writing

Reeve was a total fluke, they literally got the perfect man for Superman, he can't be beat

 

[rogbngp]

One of the complaints about MoS (that I somewhat agree with, but can forgive) is that there didn't seem to be a great amount of character development for Superman. I think we'll get more of that in BvS. We'll get to see a lot more of what makes him tick.

I think already Cavill's Superman is more complex than Reeve's. This is a new Superman for a new era culturally. I just find this character more interesting in something closer to the real world that we actually inhabit. And I think Cavill is doing a fantastic job with it.

Bootleg spanish tv spot has Batman using grappling gun and a shot of Lois in Superman arms.






jk

I still prefer Reeve's performance and appearance to Cavills. Cavill will be a better written Superman for the modern day, but Reeve will remain the greatest. Itd be great if Reeve were about 30 years younger

 

[Clark-Kent]

I'm just saying it's probably one of those situations where you can't say one surpasses the other. Reeve paved the way, and yes brought Superman to life. Even affecting how the comics depicted him artistically. He basically was the Superman to base all else on. Cavill is awesome, but that's not a torch he or anyone else likely can ever hold.

I completely disagree. Just because you say something doesn't make it true lol. I have no doubt cavill can surpass Reeve. But nostalgiafor reeve is strong.

 

[RadioSha]

I agree. Winter Soldier is overrated. It was entertaining in some moments, but dull and boring story. The hand combat scenes was cool, but overall, generic action scenes. X-Men: Days of Future Past was my favorite comic book movie of that year.

 

[sportjames23]

i think everyone wanted tfa to be good after the prequels. The audience, no matter how cynical, still brought a baggage of good will.

Bvs, on the hand... People will bring baseball bats to the theaters.

lololololol
