He's not all angry and stuff when he shows up on his moped, duh!

Oh wait, he said he's always angry which, contrary to everything we know about the Hulk, somehow allows him to keep everything under control.

Nope, so the writers could have Loki talk to the avengers without it being a fight. Lets remake raiders, Belloc is intentionally captured so he and Indy can talk about the ark

Which movie was held to a higher standard?

Which movie met the standard?

I know one thing, I honestly almost walked out of TDKR because of it's sheer stupidity masquerading as "genius". Never has a smart edgy movie trying to convey deeper meaning been so retarded. TDKR was trying to be MORE than a comic book movie and ended up being shite (I loved the first two btw).

The Avengers set out with no pretense. It set out to be PRECISELY a comic book movie.

Ergo, the Avengers win.

Freddy got fingered set out to be a silly stupid and gross movie

I don't give a shite about the aspirations of the director.

And that's why you suck at movie reviews. You can't grasp the concept of the scope, purpose, and thesis of a movie.

Because in the end they don't fricking matter unless they stray from the tone. Like if TDKR started having gag humor then I would talk about what the purpose and tone of the movie was.

According to your logic if I set out to film one of the many ducks that like to fly over my house and shite on everything they see and I succeed, I get the shot, then my film of a duck shitting in mid-air is now better than TDKR.

What the hell have you been smoking?

I disagree. TDKR was a bad movie. Not a terrible movie, but it wasn't a good movie.
quote:

the avengers
Not a good movie either. It is as mindless as it is action-y.

The reason it gets so much praise is because they did something with a franchise that hadn't been done previously. They took multiple different characters and stories from multiple different movies and then tied them all together in one over the top action fest that was somewhat enjoyable despite it not being very good.

quote:

loki's plan to be apprehended by the avengers makes no fricking sense and is ultimately pointless to the conclusion of the film because it's the same fricking thing either way.
Well, his whole plan was to have the hulk destroy SHIELD and hopefully kill the rest, or at least some, of the Avengers. It is quite obvious what his plan was.

You seem to be forgetting that it is a comic book movie and Loki follows the basic villain stereotype.
quote:

TDKR
As I said before, this movie was bad and takes everything from the other Batman movies and basically throws it out the window.

It is understandable why TDKR was so bad though. The story had to be completely rewritten after the death of Heath Ledger.

Tsk tsk.

How much do you know about the actual Hulk character? It isn't like a Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde type situation.

If you do t like TDKR and the avengers, fine

Makes sense

The thing I like about it is that the consequences of TDK are present and felt, unlike ROTJ

For me, it's good, but nowhere near TDK. I totally get why some people don't like it until they tell me they loved the avengers. The element of practicality is missing

Having problems with TDKR is fine, I have some myself. Just don't sit there trying to argue that The Avengers is a better movie in any way, shape, or form.

TDKR wasn't a bad movie, I found it entertaining as a whole but it was a very frustrating movie that annoyed the heck out of me because people made it out to be more satisfying than it was.

The Avengers was a popcorn movie but it did a surprisingly good job of making effective use of screen time to touch on each character with limited screen time. Bane and Talia had more screen time than the Hulk and were less interesting characters (in spite of how great I thought Tom Hardy was as a physical presence).

yeah, I don't think it was a bad movie but it is a really frustrating movie.

Honestly, I love TDKR and The Avengers and I thought they both accomplished what they set out to do. Both are good movies.

Yeah, I'm that guy in this thread that fricking loves both movies.

It seems like there's a ton of people that hate one movie and love the other.

Well, as a future doctor, I'm going to write them a prescription for 25 punches to the lower back 3x daily.

If it can fix a dislocated vertebrae, it should be able to fix butthurt too.

TDKR's problem, aside from some narrative issues, and the feeling that I would've loved to have seen what ended up on the cutting room floor/what the story would've been had Ledger not died...is the fact that it's a really good comic book movie. The problem was that BB and TDK were awesome movies.

The "court" scene in TDKR was cheesier, worse, more ridiculous, more annoying, and way more implausible than anything in the Avengers. That was shades of Schumacher right there.
