Avengers: Infinity War

The battle against Malekith was memorable but he was a throwaway villain.

iron Man 3 was garbage.

Yeah but you have to put it in perspective. It sold better than IM3 despite twice as many people watching IM3 in theatres. Superman Returns also did not sell well on DVD, and didn't even draw in much of an audience in theatres. So that's perspective for you.

Besides it's just a more objective measurement than me and Firefly sitting around all day saying IM3 sucked and MOS rocked, NO, MOS sucked and IM3 Rocked.

It was that, plus Malekith wasn't really intimidating/bad ass enough. And the action sequences were nothing special either.

They didn't really put much effort into making that movie come out epic Imo. Not like with Cap2 where the Russo brothers clearly put in every effort to make that an epic sequel.

Hopefully with Thor 3 they're going to go all out.

No matter what you say, money is not an objective measurement of audience approval. Maybe MoS made more than IM3 in DVD sales because everyone already saw IM3 in theaters. See, NOT OBJECTIVE.

In that case Superman Returns would have sold much better than MOS on Dvd, but it didn't. If it's just about seeing it, they'll rent the film. People tend to buy movies they like.

We can argue who liked which better all day, but the only Objective figures are IM3 taking in twice as much at Theatres. Whilst MOS selling better on Dvd and Blu-Ray despite the fact that only half as many people saw that compared to IM3 in theatres.

Comparing against Thor 2 however and MOS had it beat at both the Box Office and on Dvd sales.

Even though I'd personally say Thor2 is at least a watchable movie. Whereas IM3 is torture to even watch.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS??? You don't. It's your interpretation of the data. Subjective, not objective.

You're looking at the DVD sales and interpreting SUBJECTIVELY that they indicate audience approval for MoS. That's your opinion.

Whatever. I'm sure people bought the film, thought it was shit then threw it in the bin.

With IM3 less people bought because they'd already seen it 1000 times in theatres. Funny though how that never stopped people buying The Avengers.

Face it kid, big box office movies which people love tend to sell amazingly well on Dvd. GOTG will sell well on Dvd. Why? Because people actually enjoyed and loved it. Same with CA2 and DOFP. TASM2 though? You know that won't sell as well as CA2 on Dvd, even though they grossed pretty much the same at the box office.

A majority doesn't mean much, statistically MoS is on par with both Iron Man sequels. And that's with, imo, a bias boost that the MCU gives out. Now I'd like to think of all three films a success with quite obvious flaws except that only Marvel get the success while Supes gets the shit end of the stick.

If you think the IM sequels have overrated complaints then you pretty much have to acknowledge the same for MoS.

You don't need to look at fvcking DVD sales. The metrics are right there to show that just because Marvel and Batman fanatics have to nitpick the movie, it was just as enjoyable as every origin movie not named Iron Man.

Hes right IM3 was bad, and it being bad imo had little to do with the madarin twist.

Extremis was wasted in IM3. Warren Ellis' story was f*ckin' awesome.

Agreed.

The idea that it's bad is incredibly exaggerated

Yep. Such a shame.

Iron Man III wasn't a bad movie, it just could have been a much BETTER movie had a little more imagination been employed. I enjoyed it for what it was.

Russo Brothers are a good choice, but I hope that Whedon at least gets to write the screenplay.

"Who the hell is Bucky?" just isn't as quotable as anything said in The Avengers.
