Cap was definitely as bland a superhero movie as you can get. It felt like people were overly forgiving of a movie that was just so damn vanilla in its presentation, and it still baffles me to this day why it was given such a free pass. I actually found it worse than Thor because at least Thor had an interesting villain, Cap was like having a lettuce and cabbage sandwich on white bread with a side order of raw beans and a glass of water to wash it down.
The Wolverine, 68%, 191 reviews
You gotta update that now since this is like the third time you copied and pasted that.
Its now 69% with 205 reviews.
Ugh... I think both The Wolverine and Thor: The Dark World deserve higher scores... it is irritating...
Critics are definitely tired of CBMs and getting crankier with every new release. There are more and more CBM's every year and they are forced to review them all. I rolled my eyes at many of the criticisms about this film as they lament the state of Hollywood or assault the material the story and characters are based on.

In the end, it's the GA that pays the bills though.
Yes. One of the many problems of CA. It was such a boring, bland film and Evans is very wooden as CA. CA was a film that received higher RT reviews than MOS? Wow....that just makes zero sense.
Goes to show that RT reviews are highly inconsistent.
Don't know why people at SHH still care Rotten Tomatoes, their rating tells nothing.
Everybody know The Wolverine and Thor: TDW are better movies than Iron Man 3.
Cap has a lot of heart, great acting, an excellent score, is really strong in terms of character work, and a good 80s action adventure throwback feel. Bland is the last way I would describe it. Every time I see it, I appreciate it more. My favorite from Phase 1, alongside The Avengers.Cap was definitely as bland a superhero movie as you can get.

Man, so much crapping on C:TFA last 2 pages. But, given this is NOT the Cap forum, I will choose to avoid debating that movie here (suffice to say, I 100% disagree). If anyone wants to discuss C:TFA. please take it there
Not everyone knows that because there is a thing called an opinion, and the quality of a film is just that: an opinion. So, please don't insult the people who enjoyed IM3.
So please everyone. Stop crapping on other films in this thread. You're only going to start fights.
It is amazing how defense of a film turns into a bash fest of others. It is why I have been avoiding the top threads at this point. Not a lot of discussion to be had.I didn't care for how this thread trended as well, which is why I stopped posting on it.

Requoting your entire post because, basically, this. This x100.
But I also really, really loved Thor:TDW too! I do wish the RT score for this movie was higher; I thought it was just awesome.
Suzanne78, you are a great example. You are able to express your favor for TDW without having to deem another film. There is a difference between comparing/contrasting and bashing another film to prop up another.
Personally, I have liked all the superhero films this year. Some more then others of course, but I have enjoyed myself in the theater each and every time. That is a very good thing imo.
Yep, what is important here is how you feel about TDW. If you disagree with a review or the RT score, you don't need other films to validate that. It kills me when you see posters take a different review from a critic for a different film, to justify why the critic can't be taken seriously.
YUUUUUUUP!!
Honestly, there are only a couple of reviewers that I just totally ignore for pretty much any film *cough*ArmondWhite*cough*.
Each film, I think even the Marvel movies, really can be looked at as individual films. I guess it's in our nature to compare certain things about the movies, but I don't want to say, "Well, X was clearly better than Y because of a, b, and c… and Y sucked because…" That path is so repetitious.
I haven't had a chance to read the T:TDW reviews yet. I don't know what it is about the foreign critic circles vs. US critics that give the movie a harder time. There have been mixed reviews on my Twitter and Facebook streams, but I, for one, cannot stop gushing about the movie. I know it's flawed, no film's perfect, but the stuff I loved, I absolutely adored. Even moreso than the first film.
Mjölnir;27235157 said:The movie seems to go over well with the audience reviews it on RT though. It's basically even with First Class and higher than most CBM's (this far in it's life). I guess that's something for those that put value in consensuses.
For me that matters as little as the critics as none of those should change what any individual feels about it, good or bad.
