This is a conversation I keep trying to have with people and it never goes anywhere - are the Marvel movies better for their uniformity though there are neither INCREDIBLE nor TERRIBLE ones among them, or are the DC movies better because they are so different though there are some really great ones and some really awful ones among them?

[truxillogical]

I'd argue that Iron Man is easily as INCREDIBLE as any of the recent Bat-movies. And with a lot less posturing.

Actually, I'd say that for Thor and Avengers too. Because DK and DKR were very obvious about how seriously they wanted you to take them and very heavy handed about the Important Things they wanted to discuss. But personally it feels more like I Read A Philosophy Book And Am Writing Depth for a lot of it, so they're not much that makes them deeper than the Marvel movies (and on a personal level, I find the story of a powerful man coming to terms with his own vulnerability more meaningful anyway). And in terms of pacing, DK and DKR certainly aren't better crafted than the Marvel movies. And nothing DC's put out recently did a better job at capturing the concept of the comic characters on screen better than Marvel has.

I'd say Marvel movies are better because at the end of the day, it doesn't feel like the company making them is ashamed that they started off as comics.

I prefer Marvel movies, because I like Marvel more than DC.

It does seem to me that the style of the movies produced from the properties matches the style of the companies themselves very well - almost to a fault, in the case of DC, I think. Very quick-moving, pop action movies that focus on the immediate circumstances of the heroes and their emotional journeys, versus very high-level stuff that almost treats its characters as mythic and that deals with Themes and Important Things. It's kind of appropriate, in a way, and I don't think either approach is better or worse; just to different peoples' tastes.

[forgottenjester]

I... I actually like the Marvel ones better though I felt they were varying levels of what I would consider good. (For example, I thought Thor was kinda shit but I loved Captain America even if it had pacing problems.)

DC movies on the other hand? I haven't seen one I've liked. They all failed for me. My disdain for the last Batman movie, in particular, is quite massive.

[(Anonymous)]

The only recent DC movie I liked was The Dark Knight. Batman Begins was decent I guess, but nothing special. The others? Nope.

[aubry]

Even though there were a lot of good things about some of the Nolan batfilms, I don't agree that DC has done any really great films yet because they haven't done a single one that doesn't have a woman problem. (Not just a lack of women, but being actively crap about using the women they've got.)

Marvel is bounds ahead on that score. Their universe is just way better news for comics right now.
