Mods lock if done before

I think its safe to say the Captain America movie trilogy has been an incredible one with each sequel getting better.

We all remember the Dark Knight trilogy, most notably "The Dark Knight" which everybody loved.

what do you think Film Room?

The Dark Knight is the best movie in the whole joint but uh I like comic flicks mostly for action so I'm going with Cap. The last two are action movie masterpieces.

Rank:
The Dark Knight
The Winter Soldier
Civil War
Batman Begins
First Avenger
TDKR

Very close I like all the movies in theses trilogies. TDKR is only subpar when you compare it to TDK. It's a good movie just not perfect.

Cap series, has the best action but overall, The Dark Knight tips it in Nolan's favour.

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

Nolans batman and it's not even close.

 

[jay211]

Nolan's Batman by a mile.

 

[Methodical]

Nolan's Batman hand down

 

[StraxStrax]

While the TDKR has some problems The Dark Knight is simply one of the best films ever made so Captain America can't compete with that

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

Dark Knight in everything except fight scenes, except for the first Bane beatdown Nolans action scenes are

A big reason the Bane fight works is because the way Bale moves that's probably how most big dudes would handle him.

It looks even worse now that we've seen Affleck in action

honestly, take away the rest of Marvel's CU movies around the CA trilogy and it is an incoherent set of movies... really they can't stand on their own you HAVE to have watched all the MCU movies to piece together a coherent storyline

Bahman all day

Batman begins is the best written superhero origin story ever to hit film. The cap trilogy is good but Batman Begins gives Nolan the edge IMO

 

[Chris Cool]

First captain was trash, next two were mediocre. Dark Knight easily. shyt ain't even close.

This is true as well.

When the first Peter Parker scenes hit I forgot it was a Cap movie for a second.

not only a spidey origin, but black panther as well

honestly CW shouldnt even be classified as a CA movie

Batman Begins was a game changer in not just in superhero movies, but summer blockbusters as well... you can thank this film for the reboot craze.

The Dark Knight is not only the best superhero film ever, it could may go down as one of the GOATS of any genre.

The Dark Knight rises is its only hiccup and that's not even a BAD film....like 3/4th of the film was excellence, IMO... that final act with the Talia reveal is what really hurts it.

2 films out of 3 leans to TDK Trilogy in my eyes. It doesn't help that 1st Avenger is BORING as hell to me.

Cap trilogy for me and it's not a tough decision.
