Ang Lee Hulk, Blade 1 and 2, X Men First Class and DoFP, Amazing Spider Man 2, Howard the Duck, Punisher. I think something like that. We can throw in Cap 1 and 2, Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 somewhere at the lower end of Marvel flicks.

All three Iron Man movies are pretty much on the same level of quality.

I didn't know they were so well regarded around here. I liked them when I was 16, but have any of you watched them recently? They haven't aged well at all. Some scenes are laughably bad.

He's not wrong. Blade 1 and 2 were cable TV staples of mine growing up but I tried to watch Blade 2 recently and was hopelessly bored, and I'm a huge Guillermo Del Toro fan. There's still a lot of great things about them like their set design, Snipes' one-liners, and for how important Blade 1 was in getting the superhero movie trend underway, but they're not exactly classics even of the genre.

I have watched the first 2 recently, and they are both really fun comic book movies. The third has always been terrible.

I like Del Toro a lot, but Blade 2 was always awful. It's the cinematic equivalent of a grimdark 90s Liefeld comic, complete with horrible fake-looking CG people. 1 is alright.

Incredible Hulk is my favorite of the Avengers lead-ups and if you haven't already you should watch all the scenes that were cut from the movie because they make it even better (minus the montage of Bruce delivering pizzas which was really bad). Also watch the behind-the scenes footage and see how much fun Louis Letterier had making it.

Captain America 1 is the only Marvelverse film that I consider genuinely good, (in fact, it's possibly the best superhero film ever made) but I'll admit that I haven't seen all of Incredible Hulk. The combination of it being the least popular in a pile of bad movies, the 'more punching than Ang Lee' rep, and the notorious rewrites give me a powerful case of indifference. If someone can make a good case for it, I'll watch it. Unleashed is rad, and I want to see Hulk blow up downtown Toronto.

The first Captain America movie was, to me, one of the most disappointing movies in quite some time. Just another dull, disappointing Joe Johnston movie. He seems to pick projects that are fun ideas and completely halfasses their execution. They're always just short of being exciting and fun to watch. And I mean just short. Like on the mediocre end of amazing. I wish I could put a finer point on just what it is about his movies that are a let down for me, but I'm just now going through his filmography and realizing almost every one of them elicited a "I was hoping it would be better" response from me, including when I was a little kid seeing Honey I Shrunk the Kids in the theater. He's like a more technically inspired Chris Columbus or something.

Spatula City posted:The Rocketeer is a masterpiece, therefore you are wrong. Well, I think The Rocketeer is a good example of what I mean. Its got such a fresh and exciting premise, it's got all the trappings of an exciting movie, but the execution is so limp and flat, in my opinion. Maybe I just don't like him as a storyteller, or maybe I find his visual flair kind of weak, but there's something about his movies that are just so unsatisfying to me. He keeps trying to make these fun Indiana Jones style movies, but he's just not very good at it. I didn't hate Cap 1. There was some enjoyable stuff in that movie. It was just not very well made. quote:I'm not the biggest fan of Cap 1 but Joe Johnston is sure as hell much better than Chris Colombus. I did say he was more technically inspired, but yeah that was a low blow.

TheJoker138 posted:Do you really like the Underworld movies too? No, not really. Aside from the whole Werewolf vs Vampire thing, Underworld doesn't really go in a WoD direction. Blade, on the other hand, has vampire clans, a vampiric bible, human servants (familiars in the movie, ghouls in the game), younger vampires vs older vampires, ancient blood-gods, etc. I mean, none of that stuff is particularly original, but it's still funny to me.
