Anyone think that the DC animated films are written better than the Marvel and DC films (excluding Nolan's Batman series)?

LOL DC characters in danger? Come on..


Neither of them are in danger, that's the point.

Depends on the animated film. Last one I saw was The Killing Joke, which was fucking terrible. That was as bad as the last few marvel/dc movies I've seen.

There are a handful of Marvel movies that are fantastic, and while they're not mainstream characters, there are a few others that are noteworthy excluding Nolan's trilogy in the DC universe.

I ended up going to see this in theaters. Was out doing some Christmas shopping at the mall and decided I wanted to see a movie to kill a few hours before going home. There isn't shit playing right now, so I figured I'd give this a chance. Funny thing, I guess my parents went to the same theater, and saw the same movie 2 hours before me, and we didn't know the other person was there until I saw them the next day.

I stand by what I originally though about it being a mediocre at best film,but it was better than I thought it would be. They tried wayyyyy too hard throughout the movie, but they were still able to force a couple of laughs out of me. I enjoyed the Matt Damon cameo, and Jeff Goldblum was just amazing. Rock dude would have been funny if they would have just gone with it for that first interaction, and then dropped it. Too much of a mildly funny thing, kinda kills it. It was an above average Marvel movie, but still nothing special.

Well, strictly in terms of animated films, yeah, dc shits on marvel. ‘Flashpoint’ & ‘JL War’ are pretty damn good.

Agree there
Marvel animated movies are often pretty bland

Couldn't Dr. Strange just send Thor's sister to another dimension?

You realize that all the heroes in Marvel movies are unstoppable right? None of them ever run into any trouble with the villian. The only "drama" is internal conflict within the group. It's boring as shit.

Ahh we could easily stop the bad guy but we need to spend half the movie angry at Tony! What a city is falling, guess we better go stop the bad guy.

Also as for "no good movies out" why not see wonder? The most critically acclaimed movie in theaters right now, but no explosions so you'd get bored right?


That describes like 2 movies that i can think of..

you're literally posting in a thread about a movie where the villain was too powerful to be beaten by the title character, i mean, he even lost an eye trying to fight her

biggest problem with the movie imo, the snake story was a crackup though

also you call the movie mediocre at best but then give it a 7/10? maybe your standards are just too high?

Is a mid D to low C not mediocre to you? If anyone rated my performance that in anything I do, I'd be looking hard to improve.

I'm pretty sure 65% is a C, so 70% would be around high C/C+/B- not D.

Funny you mention that, cuz the movie I saw had the "heroes" fighting eachother and not helping eachother for most of the movie while the "bad guy" was murdering Asgardians. Until the heroes decide to finally work together and go to Asgard and start Ragnarok to kill the supposedly most powerful Asgardian ever, without even breaking a sweat.
