How old are you? Just wondering because normally after a certain age the concept of opinions and people liking different things usually doesn't need to be explained.

 

I'm 37. I think one of my issues is I'm not a huge fan trilogies or these stories that just keep running on and on. I enjoyed the original Star Wars and the first few new ones - but I'm just over it now and have no interest in seeing the last couple they made. I don't think I care enough to keep track of what's happening over such a long drawn out period. Same with Lord of the Rings - first couple were amazing, then I lost interest.

 

Regarding comic book movies:

 

I loved Batman Begins and the Dark Knight (Dark Knight Rises was ok - again - was getting Batman burn out by then)

I liked the first Spiderman with Tobey MaGuire. I may have seen the squeal, but there's been so many since, with different lead actors and s*** I just don't care.

I liked Iron Man - perhaps even Iron Man 2. Again - why do we need Iron Man 3 I don't know.

I've seen Gaurdians of the Galaxy - it was decent

I watched like 30 minutes of Batman v. Superman - it was f***ing awful

Deadpool is kind of funny. I mean it was entertaining, but kind of predictable.

I watched Black Panther after it was nominated for Best Movie. Again - I enjoyed it. It was decent. I wouldn't watch it twice.

 

I'm sure I've seen a few others (green goblin maybe?)

 

Just feels like a new one comes out every month and I don't really connect with the characters like I did in the Dark Knight.

 

I saw a youtube clip once where the guys says the Dark Knight worked so well because it as dark and different and something - and that Marvel tried to replicate that at times and failed miserably. I think I fall into the same line of thinking. Nothing seems to match up with the Dark Knight and thus these movies seem to pale in comparison.

 

Maybe I'm just old. Give me some kids movies like Big Hero 6 or Moana over Marvel everyday of the week.

I dislike comic books and comic book movies for almost the opposite reasons. I love epics with depth but comic book worlds have so many different versions of the same characters it's pointless to me.

 

The only comic book movie I've ever truly enjoyed is Batman Forever, it's got two of my favourite actors Jim Carrey and Tommy Lee Jones, and doesn't take itself seriously. The trend for "serious" ones kicked off by Batman Begins are just ridiculous to me.

Most MCU movies don't really take themselves that serious. Thor 3, the Ant-Man movies, Guardians of the Galaxy, Iron Man, etc. Then there are movies like the 2 Deadpools which are more raunchy comedies than anything else.

 

A lot of them are serious though. The Nolan Batmans especially like you said.

I haven't seen any of the DC movies except the Nolan batmans, but those are the only comic book movies that I'd say take themselves seriously. The MCU movies really don't at all.

The people who are complaining about ticket prices are the ones who complain about capitalism.

 

I'm not complaining about ticket pricing, and I complain about (late stage) capitalism all the time.

Man, most comic book movies don't take themselves seriously at all. Thor Ragnarok, the Deadpool movies, Shazam... and that's just in the last 3 years...

This is an even better list than mine.
