I was late to the party and didn?t watch them all until recently, good to kill over a couple of movie nights especially with a home theatre

Using them to burn time is lols. If there?s time to fill why not watch films with actual depth? Not just superheroes smashing each other into buildings. Tbh I?d rather crack out rewatchable films than watch most superhero shit (some are good... like Nolan?s Batman).

lol you peeps are movie snobs. I LIKED THE MARVEL FILMS, I LIKED JUSTICE LEAGUE. YOU CAN ALL GO FUCK YOURSELVES!!!!!!!!!!

What did you think about Tenet?...........

It's not snobbery cos there's loads of crap films I have a soft spot for, it's just the marvel and dc franchises are largely forgettable and shit but they also make so so many, it's the sheer quantity that does my head in. They seemingly can have extremely low standards with no consequence, blank cheques with stuff already planned up to 2028 ffs. Like Moses said, the amount of money that gets spent on them, over and over, imagine it going into some original ideas.

I mean in all honesty, without googling, can you recall the plot of ironman 3?

Have some silly smashy smashy action films. But pumping out a ridiculous number in the last fifteen years without doing much that's interesting is just lol. We're getting to the point where we had 5/6 big superhero films every year... most of which had bang average plots/nothing interesting about them. Make a third of the number but do something novel.

Have only seen Tenet once. Need to rewatch really. Feels like Nolan tried too hard tbh, but at least he tried. And the action was more interesting than 99% of superhero stuff which often revolves around two borderline invincible people smashing each other into buildings for fifteen minutes, or a group of them being unable to win solo, until some deus ex machina event or they all work together and win.

The Snyder Cut was basically four hours of waiting for Superman to turn up.

Ironman 3 - Tony is happy in his life, a personal issue manifests which causes great disruption. Someone is threatening the end of the world and tony must first overcome his personal issue before he can save the world. Genuinely without google that's what I got haha

I had it on my server for a while and managed to watch it 3 times. Plus I seen it in the cinema. I always go to watch Nolan films at the cinema.

But I do agree, I think Nolan did try a bit too hard on this one. I still appreciate it because it is original but the first time I watched it I would say I understood 50% of it. Watched a few analysis videos about it on youtube then watched again and I'm at about 80%. I still don't fully understand the logic in the movie, I'm sure it's there I just can't wrap my head around it.

Apparently not.

"Plagued with worry and insomnia since saving New York from destruction, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), now, is more dependent on the suits that give him his Iron Man persona -- so much so that every aspect of his life is affected, including his relationship with Pepper (Gwyneth Paltrow). After a malevolent enemy known as the Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) reduces his personal world to rubble, Tony must rely solely on instinct and ingenuity to avenge his losses and protect the people he loves."

Good guy being good. Bad guy comes along, good guy must do battle to save the world. Good guy narrowly defeats bad guy.

Repeat for several sequels then introduce badder bad guy who is badder than all bad guys previously featured, too much for our good guy to overcome alone. So he joins forces with other good guys (who have been battling bad guys independently as well in separate franchises) to pool their good guy powers to narrowly defeat baddest guy.

Next step is to now revisit all the good guys, but before they became good and see what made them good guys. Then also do the same for all the bad guys.

Coming soon! Explore alternative stories, like, what if good guy actually became bad guy and was never good guy?

It's a shame people cannot see DC and Marvel films for what they are, 2hours of entertainment in most cases. I see from the posts that Moses is trying so hard and so far up icraig arse that he's wearing his skin like iron man suit.

These are the same people who in another thread worship Apple who also churn out the same shit every year.

I also best most people here don't pay for any movies they watch, except for the occasional cinema visit back in the day. Don't pay don't moan.
