I like captain america but yeah i think he was wrong on this one. i wouldn't go so far as to say he's a piece of poo poo but i definitely came out of it thinking that iron man was probably in the right

That's the "Ultimates" version, the comic reboot line that Marvel eventually pretty much wiped out because it was generally pretty terrible and cringe-inducing, in particular how Cap was written.

i agree with you except about that the first xmen movie was good. it was not. there has been like three quarters of a good xmen movie made across the entire franchise

This movie seemed to want us to distinguish between superheroes having play fights and angry fights and my brain just couldn't keep up. Is this what it's like to be old?

There was a pretty good response for the normal version which talks about how brave the French were because you know he fought with the resistance during WWII.

what about when the superhero story is also really bleak like Netflix's Daredevil and punisher.

Those are also the best superhero things in years.

I keep hearing people tell me about how good Daredevil is, but I just can't get into it. Dunno if it's because I just really find the character boring or if it's something about the show itself. Edit: As for the punisher, I would've preferred an adaptation of a few arcs of the Ennis Max run or something.

I also still think that the best superhero/comic book movie is Dredd which apparently may be getting a sequel after all!

Please disregard my advice w/r/t history.
Seconding that Dredd was the best comic book movie I've seen in a long time.

Guardians and Winter Soldier both captured the cheesy entertainment factor of comic books pretty well though.

They recently announced he'll be getting his own Netflix series so that's definitely on the cards. The second Daredevil series had a bunch of references to classic DD/Punisher comics.

Quite a lot of Snowpiercer was amazing, although it had a gigantic Korean vibe that I didn't enjoy all that much. Tilda Swinton and Chris Evans were so good in it. Stoned Korean Dude with the last cigarette and matches in the world was pretty watchable too.

I liked how during the big airport battle with superhumans and robot weapons, the two regular humans fought each other. That was fair and good.

It was pretty decent, the opening fight scene was great. The reasoning for the civil war was pretty loving stupid though. "You have literally saved humanity several times, but there was some collateral damage, therefore *fart*"

What?
