Marvel isn't actually all that good outside their origin stories. AgentApple Send a noteboard - 26/05/2017 12:22:19 AM

It's not because Marvel is fun and DC is dour.

Age of Ultron ? Boring.

Civil War ? Very boring. There is not one action sequence in that entire movie that can is effective as any scene from Terminator, Terminator 2, even True Lies, the Running Man or lesser films. Why ? Because Marvel plays it cards so safe no one gets hurt, and nothing is resolved. Contrast that with the Viper vs the Mountain.

Back to DC... Zack Snyder only cares about cinematography and making stuff look cool. He is all style, no substance. He can make a memorable montage, like the opening sequences for Watchmen and Suckerpunch, but those movies are very flawed. In Suckerpunch, for example, once you see Baby get hit and fly through 3 walls, then just get back up, all tension evaporates because there are no consequences.

He won't be doing JUSTICE LEAGUE. Whedon took over. Terrible reason, though. Ghavrel - 24/05/2017 05:01:49 PM 1060 Views
Oh, Snyder pretty much finished principal photography. Joss just has reshoots and filler. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 27/05/2017 04:09:49 AM 787 Views
Obscure DC comic hero movie that was semi-ok aerocontrols - 24/05/2017 04:18:52 PM 1082 Views
They had gold with the show, but they threw that away... Ghavrel - 24/05/2017 05:00:47 PM 1034 Views
It won't be. It's a bondage-fetishist war movie. Whether you enjoy it or not partly depends on you Cannoli - 24/05/2017 06:13:34 PM 1113 Views

I find Marvel's Netflix shows more interesting than most of their movies AgentApple - 26/05/2017 12:25:21 AM 1068 Views
I haven't found that to be true aerocontrols - 26/05/2017 02:35:38 PM 1008 Views

There are some really dark comic books, even with traditional super heroes. Ghavrel - 28/05/2017 04:21:17 AM 1036 Views
I spotted reading comics in the eighties. Back then they were stump written for kids *NM* random thoughts - 07/06/2017 05:32:51 PM 557 Views
Is Marvel that good? They all seem the same. Tom - 28/05/2017 12:18:35 AM 1020 Views
They're all mindlessly entertaining. DC is highly varied in producing boring and grim films. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/05/2017 04:20:02 AM 590 Views
Yes, they are that good aerocontrols - 28/05/2017 02:03:56 PM 1035 Views
