The best duo, I’ve grown quite tired of the Umbrella Corporation...
the third one is simply inferior to the first two

and Degeneration doesn't really belong in the same category as this third entry, so it probably shouldn't even be on the list...

Richard Wilson4 said:Unfortunately, most of those films just don't hold up very well...

It seems to me that the modern Batman films truly have no real competition out there...

Perhaps even the first two entries in the series...

The Marvel movies are somewhat lacking in depth
whereas the DC offerings feel much more serious and are far better crafted...

In my estimation, the highest quality and most profound work is V for Vendetta...

but actually, the sequel is already out

analogpilot16 said:Superman returns, Iron Man, X-Men 1 and 2.

To me, Watchmen stands out as the most tedious, mindless, and utterly unnecessary film ever made... it’s the kind of boredom that makes you want to lose your mind just trying to sit through it, even including The Dark Knight, which I actually found rather disappointing... I much prefer Batman Begins...

I can't say I was particularly satisfied with Watchmen either, far from it... it truly felt like the most dull and senseless experience, though I suppose I expected much more from it... And the same goes for The Dark Knight, as I find Begins to be the superior film...👍👍

Keith Kelly3 said:I was wondering how these percentages are being calculated here... 😕

It appears to be some sort of glitch within the multi-select poll feature, as I suspect the total sum here reaches about 500%...

Adam Moore said:V for Vendetta isn't really a superhero movie.

Personally, I’ve always felt my favorite superhero film was actually an outlier—The Incredibles. As for the others, I'd say the first and second Batman, Batman Begins, and Iron Man are at the top of my list...

😕 I'm curious though, how can you say V for Vendetta isn't a superhero film?😕

briskhound2 said:The Shadow You missed him in there. He’s definitely underrated, though he's quite decent... Aside from him, the list should probably include legends like Superman, Batman (Burton), and The Dark Knight. Oh, and Phantom... that was a solid little flick.

See, I was just copying over my superhero movie list (though I did skip a few) and he wasn't on there...
I actually agree, it's a pretty good movie; I watched it a couple of times back when it was still a big hit...

What are your favorites, and what makes them stand out to you?

For me, it’s always been V for Vendetta, Hellboy II, Hellboy, and Batman Begins
along with probably X-Men
...

I actually sat down one evening and watched both of them, and I have to say, they are truly excellent 👍

There is a certain truth to the idea that those animated features—films like Up, Wall-E, or Bolt... they often possess a depth and a soul that far surpasses most of the live-action movies currently playing in our local theaters...

Terminator 2
Hellboy II
Aliens
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

I checked the clock and I've only made it through two viewings; I suppose I might finally wrap this up by the third...

It’s been quite tedious and draining, especially since the few fight scenes they included were rather lackluster...

I have started quite a few films recently, only to realize within the first ten minutes that I simply don't have the heart to finish them
instead of forcing myself, I just pivot back to something I know is actually worth my time, since I’ve seen it before...

As for the movies I ended up turning off halfway through—just thinking of a few off the top of my head

Street Racer — the buildup was tedious and the plot felt incredibly forced, which was such a massive disappointment regarding the Wachowskis' work

Ace Ventura 3 — even though the film certainly doesn't deserve its dismal 1.9 rating on IMDb
I had watched far too many movies following that exact same tired formula, so I decided to just shut it off...

D-War — honestly, it was just a poorly made film, there isn't much else to say about it...

👎👎👎👎👎

...whenever I have to scramble away from a car, I find myself running right down the middle of the road

Richard Wilson4 said:Ever sat through an awesome movie—one you’re actually vibing with—only to have the ending totally kill the mood? Like, those last ten minutes just fall flat against everything else?

For me, the ending of Lord of the Rings: Return of the King was a real letdown...

It dragged on way too long, felt super melodramatic, and they completely skipped over all that stuff happening in the Midwest after the hobbits get back. That part was easily my favorite bit of the book, even if it was quick...

The movie itself is a masterpiece, though. It sucks they messed up the finish like that.

Off-topic, for a moment... apparently C. Lee told Jackson that he would walk off the set if they didn't film that specific chapter from the book, though he ended up staying after all...

On-topic... regarding AI—the ending was utterly pointless for me, though I'd still give the film a decent 7/10
just plain foolish 😂😂🙏🙏 (the original plan was for Daniels and Carrey to board a bus together, but the studio rejected the idea)
Knowing—what a shame, considering how strongly the film began its journey

1 The Hunter
2 Flight Above the Coward's Nest

The new War of the Worlds is actually superior to the original version👍

Anthony Hughes80 said:I just finished watching it, and honestly, it was one of those movies that leaves your brain feeling a bit scrambled, yet somehow perfectly relaxing and hilarious... There were plenty of comedic moments, though I suppose I expected a little more based on some of the commentary I've seen from you all... I actually found Will to be quite decent; he really knows how to land a joke... If you get a chance, you should check out Step Brothers as well, as I personally found that one to be even better overall...👍

I would have to say that Step Brothers is his absolute best comedy... 🙏

James Lee84 said:Look, I know it all comes down to personal taste, but I actually found the movie quite alright... it features some funny moments, decent dialogue, and of course, a great soundtrack😉which is plenty for me😉

I get what you mean, but honestly, whenever I see those two "attractive" rich kids with their emo hairstyles—who are naturally portrayed as cool and popular while playing varsity football despite being complete losers—it really rubs me the wrong way.
And what’s even more ridiculous is that the blond guy is 32 and the brunette is 29, which feels a bit too old even for an American film

I found the movie to be quite disappointing; I only managed to sit through the first 15 or 20 minutes before realizing it was just 👎 👎 👎
