Man Of Steel vs Avengers: Age Of Ultron

[Asharad]

AoU.

 

[DA_Champion]

89-88.

 

[The Joker]

Wow the vote is tied now. AOU really made a comeback.

 

[Drz]

Just 1 more vote for AoU and we can start debating is the poll rigged, are young people just not appreciating movies like MoS and whatnot!

 

[Erzengel]

That's why I found this poll so surprising. Critic and fan opinions on RT had AOU over MOS. IMDB has a higher mark for AOU than MOS. SHH has a quite a vocal MOS fan base it seems.

tied mothaf****as

I think there was just some passionate and divisive feelings around AoU at its release, as there is with most films
but as time passes, people are able to look at these things more objectively

it's why I think any "Whats the best _____ movie of the year?" polls are dumb if they come out right after a new movie, since the audience hasn't really had time to sit and think on that new film
it'll either get an unfair boost if everyone's in love with it, or get unfairly suppressed if there were mixed feelings on release

 

[Rowsdower!]

I don't know. I think they're both good movies that are judged too harshly by certain fans. I think half of those people were disappointed in either movie because it wasn't the greatest thing they'd ever seen and the other half are people who had their minds made up before they even walked into the theater because of it wasn't made by DC or Marvel.

Well put.

Yeah but it can work both ways, time has made me dislike AOU more, I still think it's decent, but it could have been so much more, it's a missed opportunity.

And in fairness I never expected MOS to win this this poll and so still wouldn't be surprised if it didn't.

 

[Erzengel]

The same could be said for polls rating movies when they come out. People were giving FF ROTS, Wolverine Origins high marks. People were giving 10 out of 10s for these 2 movies, when one received very mediocre reviews and the other, the general consensus is that it's not as good as the Original.

 

[Bim]

AOU. MOS let me down bigtime

Edit: looks like a broke the tie lol

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

And AOU finally leads a poll

I agree, people will see AoU as the bad film it is.

Pretty much.

This guy knows what's up

And wow, what a dramatic comeback!

"If we can't win this poll, you can be damn sure we'll avenge it."

 

[The Batman]

I guess generalizations are OK when you're propping movies up instead of criticizing them.

 

[OcStat]

Care to elaborate?

 

[The Batman]

I think this idea of "If you didn't like either movie, you're either this or that" is BS, and if I made a post saying "You either liked MOS/AOU because you already decided you liked it before you got to the theater, or you're just a MCU/Superman fanboy who'd love it no matter what" , I would most certainly get called out on it.

I won't deny that SOME people were disappointed in MOS or AOU for those reasons, but to act like everyone unsatisfied with either film is one of two categories?

Yeah, you're right. We shouldn't generalize like that, and it'd be hypocritical of me to complain about the generalizations made about the complaints of MOS (like I did a few pages back), and then support the idea that people only dislike either of these two movies for generalized reasons.

I do think that there is definitely an element of bias and scrutiny these movies have to face (I've seen people say TWS "confused them" because they really liked it), but I certainly don't want to imply that it's the only reason these movies got mixed reactions.

 

[OcStat]

Ah yeah, or if you disagree with someone it must be because you are a fanboy for the other team.

 

[warhorse78]

Wow I can't even believe this poll is this close. The Avengers rendered true to life in living color vs. the character assassination of Superman. I would think the winner would be obvious.

Or it could be that is how disappointed people were with AOU.

But, even though I despised both movies, at least AOU lets the stars of the movie talk, unlike MOS, which seemed to have had more scenes with both dads and Lois Lane than Superman himself.

But, I will say, MOS had the better villain!

 

[hafizbat]

I thought Zod was super boring. Ultron wasn't a great villain either, but he was still entertaining.

 

[DA_Champion]

Zod, Faora had some (weakly executed) philosophical substance to them, and were menacing. There is also some camp to them, like the accent made up for Jax-Ur.

Ultron was pathetic and weak, but sometimes funny.

They're both a little tragic. Zod commits suicide-by-cop at the end of the movie, and Ultron looks like he is about to cry before Vision ends him.

 

[hafizbat]

I thought the chat between Ultron and Vision at the end was one of the best parts of the movie, and better than anything with Zod in MOS.

 

[TeeKay]

I thought Zod was super boring. Ultron wasn't a great villain either, but he was still entertaining.

This I did like Faora though.
