Marvel Studios is showing no signs of slowing down in their quest to dominate the worldwide box office with Doctor Strange, the 14th film in their Cinematic Universe, opening to huge critical and commercial success.

The only reason they are forgettable, is because you get another movie so you don't sit there saying "oh I have to wait so long for the next one".

GOTG was unforgettable
Civil War was as well
winter soldeir
AOU, people still talk about that one
a couple of the origin stories are a little more boring

disagree about the russos, also widow is not a monster due to not being able to have children it's because she's a killer. also scarlet witch has trouble controlling her incredible powers in the comics.

The only real problems with the MCU are the forgettable scores, the slight overuse of comedy and jokes, and the often mediocre villains.

@Valdez - But those problems are minor, and many of the movies don't have them at all.

@Valdez - Often??? ALWAYS MEDIOCRE forgettable villains. The MAJOR overuse of lame, recycled jokes and the music sucks. The films suck most of the time. They're one time enjoyable movies at best, trash at worst.

And wow, just wow. Single handedly saved the superhero genre. Wow. So Batman Begins, Dark Knight. [frick] me I hate what this site has become.

@aresww3 - I disagree. I thought that out of all the villains, Malekith and Ronan were the only truly bad ones. Yellowjacket, Abomination, Red Skull, and Killian were forgettable. Iron Monger, Whiplash, and Ultron were a bit more interesting, but still mediocre. Zemo, Loki, and Winter Soldier were great. The music isn't always great, but GotG and Iron Man at least had great scores, and the themes for Zemo and BP in Civil War were quite good. And I've never found the humor too annoying. Avengers 2, Thor 2, and Iron Man 3 had way too many jokes in scenes that should be dark, but WS and CW had a good blend of comedy and drama. And the rest, other than obvious exceptions like Ant-Man and GotG, didn't go overboard on humor. And finally, I'd argue that while the MCU didn't single handedly save the genre, it certain helped. The original Superman movie showed that comic movies could be good. Batman showed that they could be darker and more serious. X-Men and Spider-Man showed that Marvel movies can still work in modern times. The Dark Knight showed that they could be incredible movies. But the MCU proved that it's possible to create a franchise of comic book movies that can last for many years without stopping, slowing down, or lessening in quality. It proved that good movies can be made with minor characters like Ant-Man and the GotG. Without the MCU, the DCEU would never have been created.

@aresww3 - dude you hate what this site has become because people like me and @Valdez enjoy the marvel movies, yet can still see some of the flaws? isn't that a good thing?

writing off every villain and score as "sucking" and then having the nerve to criticize the whole community.

really?

you're better than this.

@ALostCause - @Valdez - Have you been reading the comments about the wonder woman trailer, about the flash, about anything DC and then to add insult to injury they try and say Marvel single handedly saved the genre.

Like dude, I'm not talking about you, but some people have so obviously been trying to troll recently. I love that you or anyone enjoys comic movies. I enjoy marvel to, but marvel fanboys are making me hate it.

They want all comic movies to follow the same formula, have the same tone and essentially become marvel movies.
I resent that.I'm not gonna defend bvs and ss again here, but as I've said Marvel movies are far from flawless and we as comic community should not go on like the rabid idiot critics on RT. What certain marvel fans don't realise is that these stuffed up snobs want to kill comic movies dead. Marvel will be the greatest to suffer if DC goes down. Trust me. So why not quit with all the hate and be constructive in our criticisms instead of obviously trying to take one company down.

@aresww3 - critics have a wide knowledge of movies and what makes a movie like the departed, or tdk, good - as compared to movies like Grown ups and and madea.

there's certain things movies can do to make the audience like them, and they can tell when a movie is not doing that.

they are also sticklers for crappy editing and plot holes, which makes sense because [frick] that.

also if dc goes down, marvel will be just fine. they already have their audience, due to the pandering films they make.

their films DO pander, but they also tend to be more entertaining on a technical level.

the '[frick] the critics' attitude will never ever make sense to me. they have spent years studying films. well most of them have... some a grade A idiots. usually when someone disagrees with a majority of critics it is because of bias, or because something in the movie hooked them in. AND THAT"S OK, but i don't think it makes it fair to attack the critics.

I'm sure they would be fine with cbms if they had better plots and less dumb action, both marvel and dc are guilty of this.

grown ups and madea are bad examples because you don't need a critical mind to see how much they suck.

how about movies like independance day, or anything made by shamayalanalan.

these movies look and sound like the good movies, but there are certain aspects that simply make them bad. a critic can find those and point them out for you. most of the time you see it, but you aren't aware what happened, you just think "something feels off."

again im generalizing, im not saying all fans and critics are like this.

@aresww3 - Marvel didn't singlehandedly save the genre, but it was essentially the first Cinematic Universe, it certainly was instrumental in making the superhero genre what it is today. And I don't know about some people, but personally, I'm fine that DC is making somewhat darker movies. My problem isn't the tone. It's that, in my opinion, Batman v Superman and SS aren't good movies. And Marvel has made some bad movies too. While it is annoying when people say that they hope Justice League or WW will be bad, it's fine for them to say that so far, Marvel is making better movies than DC on the whole.

@ALostCause - Who told u they spent years studying film? What makes you think that? Half of them are stuffy old, racist, sexist white men who happen to own a thesaurus. They haven't got a clue about what young multicultural open minded people want to watch. All they know is what soccer moms want to watch. I respect the critics of yester year, before the internet let any hack with a website write their opinion. Did u know over 80% of critics on RS are white men, over the age of 40, hardly any other ethnic groups, or women. If they were such geniuses they would be making the films instead of bitching about things they themselves could never do. Its a load of crap holding up modern day critics as all knowing. Lets put it this way they are no Roger Ebert.

@ALostCause - Even when I disagreed with Roger Ebert I at least saw where he was coming from bc he actually used his brain to analyse and deconstruct the films. Critics on RT are a bunch of [frick]ing morons by and large who I wouldn't trust changing a light bulb, let alone judging movies. Ghostbusters anyone.

BloodyBed - 11/9/2016, 5:16 AM
@aresww3 - I disagree with Evert 95% of the time, dudes a hack.

And a lot of critics did go to film school. If they are professional, that's usually the case.

Still I disagree with many of them, but when that happens, they make much more convincing arguments than the people on here who really have no idea what they are talking about.

Either way, most of them know more about movies than you and I.

and can we stop with the "let's see you make a movie@ like if thinking?

It is straight up illogical.

@ALostCause - You have no idea what I know about movies. Talk for yourself and no certainly the hacks on Rotten Tomatoes most of the time don not.

As for you saying Roger Ebert is a hack, well cool story bro. pretty much all the critics you so slavishly follow would not agree.

You lost all of my respect when you said that Marvel Comics doesn't have a good record with the representation of women. Sorry.
