Joss Whedon, the most overrated man in Hollywood.

[Kartel13]

What I mean is that it's strange that he got the job in the first place, the movie is was ok-good. Think about it for a sec. His only feature film is from 2005, a box office bomb and was continuation of a one season sci-fi show and since then he has directed 3 ep. of Dollhouse, 2 ep. of The Office and a Glee show. It kinda obvious he got the job because of his geek status and I don't think that's reaching. But at the end of the day it's about making money and for a studio to give $220 millions to a man that has created 4 tv shows none of which have been in the top 100 most watched shows in the US and a movie that made no money is weird.

But did really well so, whatever. Would really call it critically successful, at least not in the terms of money it made. 8,3 on imdb and 69 on metacritic.

Breh, stop with your nonsense already. It was critically acclaimed.

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 92% approval rating with an average rating of 8/10, based on an aggregation of 290 reviews. It offers the consensus: "With a script that never forgets its heroes' humanity and no shortage of superpowered set pieces, The Avengers lives up to its hype—and raises the bar for Marvel at the movies." On Metacritic, the film achieved an average score of 69 out of 100 based on 43 reviews, signifying "generally favorable reviews".CinemaScore reported that audiences gave the film a rare A+ grade.

How is whedon overrated when you will rarely see him on top 10 lists or even mentioned with the best of them? Especially in film.

He's (also Nolan) overrated by his fans. Doesn't matter what he does, it's the best thing ever and anyone who says other is dumb. Joss Whedon has the same kinda fans as Sonic.

At least read before you write, I said in terms of money that it was not that well reviewed, it did ok. In the top 10 grossing movies there are 3 movies below 70% and The Avengers is one of them (others are Transformers: Dark of the Moon and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest) and all the others are 80%+. Marketing was fantastic, the movie was ok-kinda good

Why would anyone list Whedon in their top ten directors of all time though...

You're basing it off metacritic alone which is based off of 43 reviews. Rotten tomatoes has it 92% approval with an average rating of 8/10 based off of 290 reviews.

Son, you can't be this simple.

Maaaannnnn.......fukk the OP and anybody who co-signing him. That nikka admitted he don't fukk with comic books or Superheroes. Than what was the point of this thread? If you don't fukk with superheroes or comic books at all, you're not gonna appreciate "The Avengers" as much as people who do. Also, although Joss has always had a HUGE cult-following, Joss just finally made a name for himself mainstream-wise this past year. How can he be "the most overrated man in Hollywood" if he just made a name for himself?

apparently he's rated in everyone's top 10.

I know, right? As much as I fukk with Whedon, he hasn't done enough films to be on these type of lists. That's why this thread & the OP are even more ridiculous.

I think 99.9 of the population would take a rt reviews opinion over yours. Literally your arguments have ZERO weight w/o a professional opinion to back it up

We have facts, numbers, and reviews to back up our claims. U're pretty much just talking out ur ass

Than use the "Top Critics" options on Rotten Tomatoes. It's an 84% approval rating. I like how this nikka is ONLY going to use Metascore just to make his argument look good. So now you're gonna use the opinions of old & stuffy critics that don't like big budget Hollywood blockbuster genre films to begin with?

The same kat that gave avengers a rating of 40 gave A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas a rating of 90, The Dark Knight Rises 100, and sucker punch an 80.

Yeah, standards.
