Avengers 2 definitely didn't have the rewatchability the first one had. I made plans to see Avenger 2 a second time and never did (though I thoroughly enjoyed it when I did see it).

Neanderthal, Thursday, 7 April 2016 16:47 (ten years ago)

best IMO is still Guardians of the Galaxy, with Iron Man 3 and both Captain America movies right behind it

I also really, really enjoyed the Thor movies

Well really I have enjoyed every MCU movie I've seen and can't wait to get to the recording of Ant Man languishing on my DVR

i thought the consensus "best marvel movie" was Cap 2 - Winter Soldier?
That's where i'd lay my money.

ulysses, Thursday, 7 April 2016 16:49 (ten years ago)

worst is Iron Man 2, which was merely "good"

i like to trump and i am crazy (DJP), Thursday, 7 April 2016 16:50 (ten years ago)

norton hulk probably the worst, avengers 2 solidly mid-tier, cap2 / im3 / gotg all vying for top spaces imo

doctor c otm about spidey 2

a lad of balls (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 7 April 2016 16:53 (ten years ago)

oh I've only seen like 15 minutes of Norton Hulk, lol

i like to trump and i am crazy (DJP), Thursday, 7 April 2016 16:54 (ten years ago)

I even like the Norton Hulk, although, yes, it's certainly one of the lesser efforts. But I agree wholeheartedly that the Cap movies and IM 3 and GOTG are the best. Agent Carter and Jessica Jones are the best tv projects thus far.

My Whole Existence Is Flan (Old Lunch), Thursday, 7 April 2016 16:56 (ten years ago)

(NB: pretty actively dislike Ang Lee Hulk.)

My Whole Existence Is Flan (Old Lunch), Thursday, 7 April 2016 16:56 (ten years ago)

norton hulk isn't terrible by any means, just clearly not as good as what followed

a lad of balls (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 7 April 2016 16:58 (ten years ago)

I loooooooved the sleepy contemplative ramble that was the Ang Lee Hulk movie

i like to trump and i am crazy (DJP), Thursday, 7 April 2016 17:00 (ten years ago)

Iron Man still prob my favorite, followed by Spidey 2... hen Guardians and Cap 2 in a less a tie than a decision failure. Dug Thor 2 as well.

ulysses, Thursday, 7 April 2016 17:01 (ten years ago)

X2 to me is still the best one Singer has put out, would tentatively advise giving that a try (haven't seen it in a while)

tsrobodo, Thursday, 7 April 2016 17:10 (ten years ago)

Aside from some of the casting decisions (John Pinette? Really?), I like the Thomas Jane Punisher, and have heard some good things about the sequel but haven't seen it yet.

My Whole Existence Is Flan (Old Lunch), Thursday, 7 April 2016 17:12 (ten years ago)

Hilarious watching Daredevil on Netflix and seeing all the framed headlines in the New York Bulletin offices dealing with the events of the Norton Hulk movie, which is otherwise barely alluded to in the rest of the the MCU. Like, there's a tiny piece of footage when Coulson drops off the Avengers dossier for Tony Stark in the first movie; and Ruffalo says, "Last time I was in New York I kind of broke . . . Harlem," and that's it.

(I like what is happening right now itt.)

My Whole Existence Is Flan (Old Lunch), Thursday, 7 April 2016 17:14 (ten years ago)

John Hurt's Thunderbolt Ross is in the upcoming Cap movie so they seem to be acknowledging the Hulk movie a little more now.

My Whole Existence Is Flan (Old Lunch), Thursday, 7 April 2016 17:15 (ten years ago)

I loooooooved the sleepy contemplative ramble that was the Ang Lee Hulk movie

same here (still haven't seen Norton Hulk)

Honor thy pisstake as a hidden intention. (WilliamC), Thursday, 7 April 2016 17:17 (ten years ago)

i assume by the wolverine under 'hoo boy' you mean x-men origins: wolverine and not 'the wolverine' which was pretty decent - - - the kind of forgettable "we watch as our hero goes on one of his many adventures" movie that i wish more of these were willing to be. i don't think they should ALL be that, but if they don't have a really unique story they want to tell through the use of this particular character/milieu, better just to be like, this is the one where he goes to japan and fights silver samurai, than to reach instead for gratuitous darkness-as-depth and emptied-out fate-of-the-world non-suspense. i remember circa spider-man 2 wishing that they'd just called it Spider-Man Versus Doctor Octopus and continue that naming through all the rest of the series.

never ending bath infusion (Doctor Casino), Thursday, 7 April 2016 17:20 (ten years ago)

I was about to make an impassioned case for Origins: Wolverine as the worst fucking thing to come out of the Marvel movie renaissance but looking at Blade 3 and Daredevil next to it is making go "actually, that wasn't that bad"

i like to trump and i am crazy (DJP), Thursday, 7 April 2016 17:24 (ten years ago)

the "everything wrong with this movie" series is general garbage but this seems pretty OTM with everything regarding seriously WTF with regard to Ang Lee Hulk's direction and, of course, Nolte

ulysses, Thursday, 7 April 2016 17:25 (ten years ago)

It's really really hard to mess up the wolverine Japan saga and the fact that they almost did makes me dislike that movie by default.
xp

tsrobodo, Thursday, 7 April 2016 17:25 (ten years ago)

I don't think I've ever wanted the ability to jump into a film and murder everyone on screen as badly as I did while watching Blade 3 and Daredevil.

i like to trump and i am crazy (DJP), Thursday, 7 April 2016 17:25 (ten years ago)

of particular embarrassment is ang's regular gratuitous use of split screen panels
i like eric bana in it tho'

ulysses, Thursday, 7 April 2016 17:26 (ten years ago)

The split screen panel usage is one of my favorite things about that movie

i like to trump and i am crazy (DJP), Thursday, 7 April 2016 17:27 (ten years ago)

gonna have to agree to disagree there

i forgot there were two wolverine movies, in retrospect i think i saw them both and they were both lame

ulysses, Thursday, 7 April 2016 17:29 (ten years ago)

I dont mind the first Hulk movie. Can't hate on juiced up dogs, eric bana constipated face, serene Hulk cliff jumping and elemental dad monsters.

tsrobodo, Thursday, 7 April 2016 17:29 (ten years ago)

UGH, that whole 'hey it's a comic book movie so I'll make it look like a comic book!' thing Ang Lee did drove me so far up the wall. It took me out of the movie no less effectively than if he'd inserted a series of smash cuts to a dude playing a trumpet with his butthole.

My Whole Existence Is Flan (Old Lunch), Thursday, 7 April 2016 17:37 (ten years ago)

should've just used a bunch of on-screen sound effects. POW! SMASH! WANK!

My Whole Existence Is Flan (Old Lunch), Thursday, 7 April 2016 17:42 (ten years ago)

yeah the ang lee hulk movie is a mess but it's mostly an engaging mess, or at least an interesting one

the first two sam raimi spider-mans seem to me like the only wholly successful films to come out the 21st century comic book movie boom. but i haven't seen 'em all.

wizzz! (amateurist), Thursday, 7 April 2016 18:15 (ten years ago)

You should see the third one.

My Whole Existence Is Flan (Old Lunch), Thursday, 7 April 2016 18:22 (ten years ago)

It's what I'd like to call "celluloid bullshit".

My Whole Existence Is Flan (Old Lunch), Thursday, 7 April 2016 18:23 (ten years ago)

i did see the third one! I pointedly didn't mention it!

wizzz! (amateurist), Thursday, 7 April 2016 18:30 (ten years ago)

i meant that i haven't seen all of the comic-book adaptations of the past 15 years.

wizzz! (amateurist), Thursday, 7 April 2016 18:31 (ten years ago)

I got it, I just like fake recommending movies that are terrible.

My Whole Existence Is Flan (Old Lunch), Thursday, 7 April 2016 18:34 (ten years ago)

I watched Spider-Man 3 and The Amazing Spider-Man back to back on TV a couple of years ago.

They're both "bad", but in very different ways. In comparison to the grim trudge that is ASM, SM3 came off pretty well. I mean the dance scene is a camp classic at this point, and Franco is a lot of fun it it too

Number None, Thursday, 7 April 2016 18:46 (ten years ago)

count me in as another Ang Lee Hulk fan. we must band together.

I really did not like the first Captain America. it felt a little cartoony in not such a good way at times, decently mediocre the rest. loved the second

didn't like Thor 2 at all. bleh. liked the first one tho!

everybody ITT otm about Iron Man flicks.

GotG also great, Ant-Man a good entry.

did not like Norton's Hulk much at all, last half of it just looked like a boring video game. didn't like him as Bruce/Hulk (and I normally like Norton), much prefer Ruffalo now.

X-2 was really fuckin dope IMO.

Neanderthal, Friday, 8 April 2016 00:32 (ten years ago)

i remember being really impressed by X2 at the time. like, okay, they got it right, now that's an x-men movie! i've been a little hesitant to ever revisit it because my sense of the first one is that it's aged reeeeeally badly and i don't want that to be true of the second. compared to where raimi got spider-man very soon after, they seem like kinda unwieldy ensemble movies, too many characters (which the third obviously runs over a cliff with, among its many problems), too much plot mechanics and not enough story. but even if they're flawed it's kinda amazing how much they got right - hard to imagine we'd have this current superhero thing going if the period had been kickstarted by daredevil and catwoman.

never ending bath infusion (Doctor Casino), Friday, 8 April 2016 00:44 (ten years ago)

omg Catwoman

Neanderthal, Friday, 8 April 2016 00:47 (ten years ago)

so easy to forget that....that....happened

Neanderthal, Friday, 8 April 2016 00:47 (ten years ago)

also is there anybody in the world that saw Steel

Neanderthal, Friday, 8 April 2016 00:56 (ten years ago)

"best superhero movie nobody in the world saw" might have potential as a poll

never ending bath infusion (Doctor Casino), Friday, 8 April 2016 00:57 (ten years ago)

A contender:

My Whole Existence Is Flan (Old Lunch), Friday, 8 April 2016 01:27 (ten years ago)

Oh wait you said best

My Whole Existence Is Flan (Old Lunch), Friday, 8 April 2016 01:27 (ten years ago)

lol yeah i feel like 'worst' would basically become catwoman versus everything else anyway. would be interested to see people arguing the merits of meteor man, elektra, barb wire.

alternately: best dumb sueprhero comedy picture from before superheroes were popular enough for this to make sense as a thing. blankman, mystery men, my super ex girlfriend...

have never seen generation x though (nor the nick fury TV pilot) which is surprising because i really liked the comic.

never ending bath infusion (Doctor Casino), Friday, 8 April 2016 01:44 (ten years ago)

Out of everything you listed Barb Wire is the clear winner. It's somewhere right in between Barbarella and Tank Girl, and in some ways might be better than both.

the top man in the language department (誤訳侮辱), Friday, 8 April 2016 01:46 (ten years ago)

not having seen barb wire i am nonetheless kind of flabbergasted at the idea that it could possibly be better than barbarella on any level. tank girl is pretty bad though.

never ending bath infusion (Doctor Casino), Friday, 8 April 2016 01:50 (ten years ago)

just think for a second, that more money than any of us will likely ever see in our lifetimes was spent on the catwoman movie.
