For everyone that's saying, "Look at all the high praise it's getting!" Do any of you worry that it's really only being highly praised in comparison to other DCEU films?

That's what sticks out to me the most. It could still be a wreck but be better than the previous efforts. I can tweet "OMG Police Academy 4 is the best Police Academy movie to date, the Police Academy movie we've all been waiting for! Steve Guttenberg IS Sgt. Carey Mahoney!" That doesn't mean Police Academy 4 is a good movie, just relative to the others. Saying "the best DCEU movie so far!" really isn't high praise because that's such a low bar...

We're aware that most are comparing it to the previous three movies while a few are comparing it to other origin films and Captain America.

In spite of how much you enjoyed or didn't enjoy the previous movies, there are some of us that liked them. So your "low bar" isn't universally low.

yes, I have realized that. Even with the massive amount of exclamation points in my last post, I am still pessimistically optimistic about this movie... but the fact is, I went into SS with zero expectations, and actually came out pleasantly surprised. Not because the movie was "amazing" mind you, but because it was enjoyable and a good popcorn flick.

Example: Pacific Rim wasn't that great of a film, but I fricking loved it for what it was and I still want a sequel gdi. While BvS wasn't that great of a movie, and I really wish I hadn't spent money to see it... I don't feel that way about SS, same as Pacific Rim. WW looks to move that feeling towards the right direction - more than "just enjoyable" if that makes sense?
