re: I liked Man of Steel better than the Avengers

Man of steel would've been 90% better without the IHOP, 711, Kmart, Sears, Nikon, etc.

Avengers was a turd top to bottom

I liked both a lot. Avengers was all action all the time and while the ending was really dumbassery (all the aliens die just because they close the portal) it was a better paced movie then MOS.

Man of Steel really shined during the first couple of acts...but went off the rail in the ending where thousands upon thousands of people were killed something that no superman writer worth his salt should of allowed to happen. And the destruction was well over the top.

If I had to choose between of them Avengers wins out every time. And I really enjoyed both of them.

Lighten up, Francis.

My opinion on Man of Steel is pretty well documented on this board. It was at best mediocre and at worst bad.

It was a jumbled mess of a plot that underutilized it's talent in favor of ridiculous fight scenes that seemed to go on ad nauseum. I was surprised at just how bored I was during the final encounter with Zod. And for the love of God, just leave the love interest out of it. It was so underdeveloped that it actually took me out of the movie even more than the boredom. That alone dropped the movie from maybe a 5 to a 3.

At least Avengers was well paced and enjoyable. Wheedon didn't need to go through each character's history to set it up so it took off immediately and the character interactions were spot on. It was a great Summer Blockbuster.

Don't get me wrong, it's not the Godfather or anything, but it did what it set out to do and it did it well. MoS failed at all points except the Krypton scenes and even those appeared a little hackneyed.

There, I said it. I felt it was more epic and badass.

I liked Man of Steel - it definitely did not fall into the same formula most super hero movies follow and it did not ruin anything (like X-Men did after the first film). And I'm a Superman "guy" from the comic book days - Superman over Batman, even.

Having said that, I can't endore MoS as better than the Avengers. Neither film was perfect, but Avengers was a lot more fun.

But those are the cream of the crop (along with the first Iron Man and The Dark Knight), going back 25 years when the current era of comic book super hero movies began (which I set as Burton's Batman.)

you don't have to like him. i was calling out your ignorance by saying Avengers and Buffy are his only real success.

Firefly's lack of longevity on TV is the direct result of Fox incompetence. Dollhouse was agreat show as well.

Doctor Horrible s Singalong Blog is fricking hilarious.

Well everybody can probably agree it was better than IM3

Well of course
