Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
Completely disagree with that. Casino royale made the least amount because it came after die another day and because people weren't sure about Craig. But it's also the most critically acclaimed next to skyfall. Quantum of solace made a lot of money because if followed casino royale not because of how great it is. Skyfall had the hype and the strong word of mouth along with it being the anniversary. And spectre followed skyfall.

Casino royale was a gamble but even on this board it's hard to find someone who dislikes it. It's not about people disliking the card scenes or the character stuff and more about people not being sure what they were getting at the time.
you making a new point.... your original point was people liked the new bond more and the box office proved it

looking at the box office... you would come to the conclusion that marketing gadgets and more action, led to better sales... even tho the top 2, are the worst 2 rated


again... people who like movies, like the first one the most... imdb ratings prove that

the masses watched the last 2 more, even tho critics and movie goers said they were shyttier... why? cause action and explosions

No I'm making the point that his movies have done better critically and financially and revitalized the series after most called it dead in the water after die another day and some even before then. And they didn't market a single gadget in quantum of solace or skyfall except for a gun with a palm print so you're saying the audience got all hyped up for a gun with a palm print?

And if we go off of an audience score on rotten tomatoes, casino royale is the highest one followed by skyfall.

And to be clear I'm not saying that everyone loves Craig's movies. Not at all. I'm saying that there's more evidence to say they were well recieved across the board rather than to say "most" disliked them

I get that and thats why i went to see bvs by myself and saw cw with my girl. I just that in the forum dedicated to films we could some in depth discussion on why people applauded this one instead of BvS when they have a incredibly similar plot. Is it the stark contrast in tone? Because I have to say the acting was better in BvS and also the score, these things are pretty undisputable imo. So that leaves action to be the determining factor but the action or lack thereof in BvS that much inferior to have one being universally liked and one be panned? I'm just trying to get some actual reasons why this movie is so celebrated other than "hurr durr its a comic book movie"

The biggest difference,

For starters cap told tony multiple times its the doctor. IM is soooo paranoid of everything all of a sudden but he wouldn't do a quick investigation on the only lead they have concerning the bombing? Movie would have ended right there :ld: Hell Cap could have just did this himself and resolved the plot an hour sooner. Hell Zemo got the files from Black Widow IIRC, encrypted or w/e but IM didn't think it was a good idea to look into this at some point?

I'm gonna focus on this because honestly I don't understand any of it.

By the time they figured out it was the doctor the movie was almost over. They wanted to question Zemo when he cut the power and "activated" TWS but he bounced. After that the dead body was found in his hotel room, along with the prosthetics to make him look like TWS.

So I'm kinda confused why you think that would've resolved the movie earlier. They didn't actually nail down who Zemo was until the last 30ish minutes of the movie.

And the files Zemo got from BW were what she leaked during "The Winter Soldier". It was thousands of files related to SHIELD, why would Ironman be looking at them? Not understanding what interest he would have in that.

It's possible you're making some good points but I'm seriously confused.

Fred.

Give us your rating/review sun dula?!
minimum 9/10 with the only negative being the first part which was necessarily drawn out to give us the background :wow:

i laughed :pachaha: i cried :mjcry: i questioned whether i was really on the right side :wow:

nikkas said zemo was weak :dead:

just the from the emotional impact and stakes at the end this is a top 3 marvel movie without a doubt :takedat:

the first credits scene had me :ohhh::blessed:

spiderman :mjlol: its crazy cause i even forgot he was in the movie til QUEENS came up :gladbron: thats how good it was :ohlawd:

Russo Bros really put they foot in this one.

and :deadrose: at nikkas still trying to say this was just another avengers movie when it clearly revolved around Cap and Bucky

:salute: Marvel, they got it right, again. probably might could be my favorite Marvel movie to date

the low end. southside chi
i don't think that circle is the same one in his chest

the suit has a circle to power it.... the hulk buster had like 6... and tony has his own personal one


i mean for that theory to be right... tony would have to build an entire suit, but then the circle in the middle is just his actual chest there.. if that isn't a major design flaw


i think they BOTH were just trying to tear it out to power off the suit, knowing tony couldn't do shyt without it
nah toney dont have one anymore. he got his heart fixed at the end of 3 with the extrims

Movie wasn't good to me :francis:. Thought the fighting scenes was wack. Main villain boring.

If Bvs didn't have that trash version of lex Luthor I might consider it better
