oh what a relieve...and I thought you meant me...
The bad fanboys on either side will always have fights over what is better, Marvel or DC...something I'll never get.
While I'm clearly a DC fanboy I can see easily that Civil War is 100 times better than BvS.
I'm not even mad at the fact that CW is so much better but sad that BvS was such a huge disappointment when it should have made my lifelong dream come true to receive, finally, a Justice League movie series that I can be proud of as a DC fan.
At least now there is hope, that Affleck will "save" the dream.
I endorse this post 100% @Brady.
As for Affleck, the only thing I'm worried about is the now added pressure placed on him to deliver. If SS and WW do well critically at least, then that should help take the pressure off slightly but we'll see. The next 3 years for the genre are going to be super crazy.
Oh. Well...ah...uhm..carry on, then. :-\"
My apologies, @RC7. I think I have some egg I need to go clean off of my face. Anyone for an omelette?
"THE MARTIAN" was okay. It didn't exactly knock my socks off. And frankly, I don't think Damon should have been nominated.
I believe that Marvel is the one who is really in trouble and no one seems to realize it. Marvel hasn't been consistently good since "GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY". I haven't really enjoyed "AGENTS OF SHIELD" since Season One. Of the movies released beyond 2014, the only one I've really enjoyed is "ANT-MAN" and that wasn't exactly one of Marvel's biggest efforts.
This "CIVIL WAR" movie . . . it was a shoddy way to end the Captain America trilogy. Marvel allowed Robert Downey Jr. and this ridiculous Civil War arc to overwhelm Steve Rogers' story. And this pissed me off. This Civil War story arc should have been released as an Avengers film . . . AFTER the Black Panther and Spider-Man solo films. I have been so disappointed in Marvel lately . . . and yet I do not feel the same about DC Comics.
Worst of all, the critics' reactions to both "BATMAN V. SUPERMAN" and "CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR" struck me as ridiculously excessive. I felt as if the media has drawn the public into some propaganda campaign sponsored by Marve/Disney in which we're all expected to continue to shower praise upon the Marvel productions and tear down DC Comics' movies and television. It's all so unreal. Why is it that so many people have failed to see this?
BvS is just plain bad and the critics are right for a change.
CW is maybe the best superhero movie ever.
And I'm a DC fanboy.
Why can't some people not see beyond their nose?
I'm a Trekkie still I love the Star Wars franchise. Why must it be about competition?
Of course if someone likes BvS and dislikes CW that's reasonable too.
It's just not the general consensus.
True, SF already replicated it.
Damn right. From the opening shot (IMAX never looked so good) and the swell of Zimmer's score I just knew it was going to be a belter.
Because it's a load of rubbish that's why. It's so intellectually dishonest to make such witless comments.
Neither can a Bond movie as evidenced with their blatant attempt with Silva.
I also doubt DC can recapture that again too as Leto as great an actor as he is has so far been quite unimpressive but we'll see.
Both good shows though that score surprises me, Flash season 1 and Arrow season 2 belong in upper echelons. Though other seasons a notch below.
BvS has had over the top stick, Marvel are far more established and how Marvel have earned that I think is something going against BvS. I like BvS though DC's strategy is questionable.
It's disgruntled haters deceiving themselves to find their own twisted peace of mind.
When marvel does something this bold give me a call Untill then wow DC is really stepping up its game.
I don't see how this news about the Quinn movie is super bold, or how that suddenly makes Marvel DC's bitch, either. We can debate the films of each company until the cows come home, but right now, Marvel has steady wins across the board over the DCCU, without even breaking a sweat. Fans of Superman have to go to Marvel's Captain America to find a hero that resembles the man because DC have royally screwed him up so badly. That's not a good sign. I'm not happy that the DC films aren't doing well, but that is objectively how it's been heading for a long time now, since Nolan left.
People seem to think DC are the big risk takers, but how much of their efforts actually work? They fall on their faces with everything they do, especially in the new ways they are trying to present (or not present) their "heroes." Batman v Superman is basically an Elseworlds tale, because everything is so far removed from what we know. It was bold to mock Superman and Batman with shoddy characterizations, sure, but did it pay off? Judging by the box office and fan reactions, no, not really.
Marvel has nothing to worry about. Civil War was just another slam dunk, and the Russos will continue to bring the gold while DC are forced to rearrange their movie release schedule as diminishing returns will undoubtedly continue to roll in. In the meantime, people like Snyder on the DC side with make pathetic jabs at Marvel, while Marvel will ignore their petty remarks like professionals (and adults) and remain on their throne, with nothing threatening their place.
I saw BvS three times in the thatre, and will eventually do the same for CW
What's wrong with enjoying both indeed:
"That's the way dad did it; that's the way America does it... and it's worked out pretty good."
I guess I'm not getting how this is "bold". Because they're making a movie based around a popular character that's only just now coming to film? Because I think they did that back in 1978. It was called Superman: The Movie, and it made people believe a man could fly. What will this teach us? That a woman can headline a movie? That's been done more times than I can count. And by better studios than DC or Marvel, many years before either of them were producing movies.
Also, "When Marvel does something this bold". It was called Guardians of the Galaxy, based on a group of characters most people had never even heard of, and they made a working film who's core cast included a talking raccoon and a tree. A far bigger gamble than anything I've seen DC consider, unless you count setting up yet another Green Lantern movie after they colossally screwed up the last one.

Trust me, we'll be seeing more of Ben's Batman than WB even originally planned. When he's the only positive that is consistent in reviews of BvS, it becomes very clear that his Batman has precedent over everyone else from here on out, appearance wise. I'm sure WB are trying to think of ways to put him in every solo movie imaginable, just to guarantee that butts are in seats. Now, as ever, Batman is the ultimate DC cash cow and the only reliable property they've got.
