Am I the only one who can't stand superhero movies?

[resurrection]

Fully prepared to get hammered for this thread, but fukk it

I never get excited about the new ones and never go to see them because they just feel like over-produced hype machines without compelling stories or interesting characters. They are the embodiment of Hollywood's attempts to just keep cashing in on the creative leg work that has already been done by others in the past because they know people will keep coming to see them. They don't have to put any thought into it anymore. They just feel empty and soulless, relying on CGI and explosions and hype building up for the next sequel.

Okay rant over. Is anyone with me on this or is the general consensus to just stfu and enjoy them for what they are?

So youre not a proponent of mindless comic book/cinema fukkery huh?

most of them are uninspired money-grabs. But surprisingly none of them are horrible movies. Just very formulaic and forgettable, there are a few standouts like Guardians, Cap 2, X-men 2, DOFP, Dark Knight, Batman Begins, Spiderman 2.....

I sit when watching movies

:airbud:

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

I'm not into them either. I like the first 2 Batman movies and the first 2 Nolan Batmans...the most recent Spiderman was good...X-Men First Class... after that i cant really watch any others. just not into it

Meteor Man tho...he is that nikka.

one of these movies is not like the others and the omission of first class is egregious

Do you feel movies based on books/novels are, "the embodiment of Hollywood's attempts to just keep cashing in on the creative leg work that has already been done by others in the past"? Just curious cause there are way more movies based on books compared to comics. .

I can certainly understand why someone wouldn't be into them. I am but they're certainly not bulletproof

This. nikkas keep creating threads with this similar topic like it's a new topic or something. I don't see anybody creating threads to disscus other movie genres their not into.

I'm gonna be burnt up when this SuperHero phenomenon ends....I love superheroes, however, I fully understand the hate for them though

 

[blackdahlia]

I'm not a fan either. Like I'll watch if forced, but in general...eh
