Its Cap I would say was just alright but does not touch the likes of Thor and Iron Man.
Another person rating Hulk above Cap. You people have no sense of what a good movie is.
It actually scored 7.7 on IMDB above Thor, and just short of Iron Man. IMDB is normal movie fans rating films. A lot of people loved Watchmen.
Lol, IMDB? I've never had anyone reference that site for ratings. And Metascores are more important because they average out a ton of different scores. Also, Rotten Tomatoes is kinda the modern standard now; everyone use that. And Watchmen falls flat on it's face in the former.
If what you said is true, and "A LOT OF PEOPLE LOVED WATCHMEN", then why did it only gross 107 million at the BO? Cap has already beaten that in 2 weeks...
He's called me that as well for pointing out most of the greatest Superhero movies of all time were DC ones and not Marvel.
Yes, I have, because such a statement is so full of hubris and bias that it's laughable. The best comic movies out are the original Superman (because of nostalgia and Reeve's iconic portrayal of Supes), the 89' Batman (again, more because of Nostalgia at this point, it hasn't aged exceptionally well), BB and TDK, Spidey 1&2, X-2 and First Class, and Iron Man. Now, if I were to stop right there, Marvel still beats DC out 5 to 4, and DC is using just 2 characters to make that up! I'd put Thor and Cap up there as well, but I won't for arguments' sake. So your claim is pretty silly considering.
Basically anyone who thinks a DC movie is better than a Marvel one is a DC fanboy to him.
No, not at all. People who think BAD movies are better are fanboys. Someone saying Watchmen is "upper echelon" is a fanboy. Someone saying Batman and Robin is "great" is a fanboy. I have no problem with people proclaiming Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are great movies; newsflash, they are. Logical statements will not get you slapped with a fanboy label. It's the illogical ones that do.
The way he dishes out the insults I think makes it pretty obvious who the Marvel fanboy is. Also says a lot about his maturity level.
I am huge Marvel fan yes, but the difference is that:
A) I will not sit there and defend crappy Marvel movies to the death with others like some of you defend GL and SR...
B) I like DC, at least enough to enjoy honest, well done movies. If they had made a great GL movie, I'd be happy for them. What Nolan did for Batman is amazing, and great. If only all DC properties were treated with as much care.
My problem is that DC has only had 1 hero they can depend on, whereas Marvel has had hits with many. So it doesn't take a "Fanboy" to see that. I'm all for DC introducing more characters, I just want them to do it well. Not Fantastic Four level of quality.
