Which highly acclaimed, financially successful, and sexy comic book film do you prefer?
 
Kinda an odd choice of two, but ok... Days of Future Past, by some considerable margin I might add
 
Sigh....

Request for a poll pending. Just wait for it a bit more.
 
The Winter Soldier EASILY.
It had a much more satisfying 2nd half.

DOFP was for the first act my fav but then the 2nd became a bit too meh. It's such a shame that they have Wolverine but don't even utilize him properly. He didn't have 1 badass fight scene, really ? Just about as he was to take on Sentinels he gets his ass handed to him easily by Magneto...yawn. It really build so well towards something but that something never came.
 
I, on the other hand was glad that they let Wolvie take a backseat this time.
 
TWS. I thought the X-Men movie was boring, I actually fell asleep for 5 minutes in the theater.
 
Normally I'm a big fan of the x-men and dofp was amazing but the winter soldier was amazing so I voted for that
 
Extremely tough choice but um..X Men: DOFP
 
Are they even in the same league? honestly, one was an instant genre classic, the other one was DOFP
 
The Winter Soldier by far.

Thanks for reminding me to watch.
 
Can't stop replaying Bucky beating the **** out of Steve and that short montage at the end. Love it.
 
:cap::cap::cap::cap:

I enjoyed both a lot , but really no contest.
 
At the time I found TWS to be great, but its definitely depreciated on repeat viewings. Knowing the twist is coming takes a lot of the suspense out of it for me
 
The Winter Soldier was the better film. DOFP was a nice apology film for the terrible X-men and Wolverine films since Singer left, but there's really not much here. There are some great acting performances and that's what makes it worth watching.
 
I greatly enjoyed both, but I couldn't get over how contrived the magic "I get my legs back but my psychic ability is hampered" drug was in DOFP. So TWS wins pretty handily.
It also shows the state your franchise is in when the best thing about your newest movie is that it undoes the numerous mistakes made in films past, and nullifies almost every installment that comes before it. As Tony Stark said, it was basically an apology.
 
DOFP even though it's not the best X_Men film and winter soldier is best marvel studios film.
