Favorite Superhero Movie of Summer 2012? (don't vote till you've seen em all please)

[Niltusk]

I'm not seeing this until Tuesday, but I'm curious as hell, how are the numbers playing out on the poll so far?

 

[Josh-A-Tron]

It shouldn't just be "of the summer". What about Ghost Rider?

Someone paid to see Ghost Rider?

TDKR...9.5/10
The Avengers 8/10
ASM...6/10

 

[The Entity]

I voted for The Avengers.

I've seen all three movies and I enjoyed all three of them. I'd rank them as follows:

3) The Amazing Spider-Man
It was awesome while I didn't expect it to be. It had a good story, good actors, good action and above all heart, I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately it was something we have seen before.

2) The Dark Knight Rises
While it took a while to get interesting, and it was a bit all over the place in the beginning, it became an awesome ending of a great trilogy. The storylines were mostly good, all of the main actors were pretty much brilliant in their parts, but the ending is what really made this movie into an epic closing piece. I feel that there are a lot of things that I might have missed and I definitely want to see it again soon.

1) The Avengers
I have to say that I saw all the pre-Avengers movies multiple times because I love them so much. Therefore I knew and cared for the characters before seeing this film. The pre-Avengers movies are a necessary watch IMO which really makes The Avengers so much better. ( I have a couple of friends who didn't feel for the characters. I told them it was their own fault for not watching Captain America and Thor.)
The accomplishment of getting all these amazing characters in one movie, keeping it believable, not singling one character out, a basic but good story, good acting from everyone (both established actors and the new guys) and probably one of the most epic action scenes ever puts The Avengers in a definite first place for me!

Batman. Batman. And Batman.

I didn't see Spider-Man.

Spiderman. ____ing seriously? in the year where we got an Avengers film and the last Nolan Bat-film people are talking about Spiderman? ____ spiderman.

TDKR topped Avengers for me. Loved em both tho.

Saw TDKR yesterday and was disappointed, so caught ASM - yesterday was not a good movie day. TDKR proves Nolan knows absolutely ZILCH about Batman and ASM was essentially almost a shot for shot "reimagining" of the Raimi flick for the first half and the second half was mindless superficiality. Some aspects of it were better than Raimi's flick, but I thought Raimi's had a tighter story.

How does it prove Nolan knows nothing about Batman, call it my curiosity.

Spoiler:

Alfred abandons Bruce Wayne, Bane's a crybaby, and Bruce Wayne abandons being Batman for Selina. None of that is "Batman," sorry.

Spoiler:

Alfred has abandon Bruce before Batman: LOTDK #60, Bruce has almost given up being Batman Multiple times but it's the comics he always comes back this is definitive end to a movie trilogy, and where was Bane a Cry baby? He showed love for Talia, which by the way is taken out of the comics when Ras use Bane to Replace Bruce as his successor.

I'm not gonna argue this with a Nolancompoop, especially one who's in full blown Apologist Mode in the spoilers thread, sorry.

I just quoted comics to site conclusions, sorry if you don't actually read the stories.

Single issue of a failed book with a seemingly Elseworlds story =/= overall half-century he's been in print.

It's part of Knightfall/KnightQuest how is that elseworlds? Everything I quoted was in Continuity and has been published in the last 25-30 years. Sorry if you stopped reading sometime in 1986.

Apparently you missed the part where I said I wasn't gonna argue this with a Nolancompoop in full blown Apologist Mode.

You said you weren't going to argue, I never said I wasn't and I fail to see how I'm the fool when I'm quoting in continuity comic book references that back up my statements where you seem to have no idea what's going on.

Oh wait, it's because I'm trying to make a point to someone who doesn't seem to have a valid base for their opinion.

Sorry, my mistake.

 

[JamesHBK]

Avengers is extremely over rated in my view.TAS is much better than it and TDKR beats them both.

Spoiler:

Last time I checked, Alfred was still at the mansion, Wayne was still Batman, even in Batman Inc, and hadn't abandoned Gotham to run off with Selina (outside of Elseworld BS). Oh, and can you show me a comic with Bane crying?
