Oooooh, you want a fair treatment instead of just talking about Fox? Well I've got lovely news for you, and on these boards I know this is very dangerous territory, so I hope you appreciate that I'm risking life and limb for you (I'm joking... a bit): I LOATHE RDJ as Iron Man (boom, there it is, oh yeah, I said it) apart from Tropic Thunder, in which he's brilliant, I don't like him in general, and I loathe that there is no Iron Man character, RDJ literally IS Iron Man – or his arrogant alcoholic performing side is anyway. I actually don't really like Marvel Studios formulaic and childishly simplifying approach at all. But overall they are truer to the CB than any X-men film we've had. Only reason I mentioned them. X2 is still a better film than anything Marvel Studios has made as far as I'm concerned, it's just that, relatively X2 is a worse X-MEN film than say Captain America is a Captain America film, you know what I'm saying? That's what I meant. The only Marvel Studios movies thus far that I genuinely liked as films were Avengers and Winter Soldier, I mean for real, those are the only two. And it's all stuff for 12 year olds in my eyes (not that there's anything wrong with that in and of itself, kids need entertainment too – well, I'll throw it up to 15 for Winter Soldier). No I'd take X1, X2, FC and probably DoFP over anything Marvel Studios has made any day. But MS still makes better CB adaptations from an adaptation pov and that's what the discussion was about.
And here I continue, because believe it or not, I also loathe the original Spider-man films (why do I have a red dot on my chest and head?). Oh yes, all aboard the hate-train nerds and gentleman, because I genuinely hated Wussy MacGuire as spider-man. I do love Garfield though, even if ASM1 was mediocre, I did see the spider-man I hoped to see for a long time. And I'm very curious to see AMS2. SO that's why I never mentioned Sony, they happen to finally do something right for me.
I can't help it that I loved Nolan's trilogy and love Man of Steel (what a surprise) so I can't hate much on WB concerning comics, although they are utterly assraping any happy association I had with the LotR franchise (because twhat Jackson is doing to the LotR franchise is a thousand times more terrible than anything Singer could do to this franchise), so let's take that as a substitute for DC (and we all know Green Lantern was boring).
Is that hate across the board enough for you?
EDIT: although 2013 proved even Marvel Studios can fail on X-men 3 level (looking at you Mandarin). It's just that I don't care nearly enough about Iron Man to follow any Iron Man thread. And I do think Singer has done a lot of great things for the CB genre. But when I add every pro and every con up, I arrive at the conclusion that I'd just rather see a reboot than stick with what we have.
I may not agree with it all entirely, but all I can say is bravo. Bravo sir!
