I personally want to see this disconnect between Marvel movies critically and movie goers, that lawlight keeps going on about. 

Actually there is a pretty big disconnect...

Avengers had a rotten tomatoes score of 92%.  The user score was 91%.  Clearly one percent of the critics were bribed.

Winter Soldier had an 89% rotten tomatoes score.  User score is 92%.  The critics must have been paid to lower the score to avoid suspicion...

Age of Ultron had a 75% score on rotten tomatoes, and an 84% user score.

Iron man 3 is 75% to 75%.

Thor is another epic display of clear bribery.  77% score from critics but a mere 76% from users.

Guardians of the Galaxy:91%(critics)  to 92%.(audience)

Thor Dark World 67% to 79%. (a)

The First Avenger was 79% to 75%(a).  The bias is real!

Incredible Hulk 67% to 71%(a)

 

When we look at Metacritic, it's even worse.

Winter Soldier 70% Critics and 84% audience(a)

Avengers 69%  79% (a)

Ant Man 64% 8.0 (a)

Guardians of the Galaxy (76%) c 86% (a)

 

Clearly Disney is engaged in a massive conspiracy to inflate their ratings.

 

 

 

Some people will insist that the world is wrong to make themselves right.

I've read this whole thread.  It really doesn't matter to me.  I like DC and it's characters more but I found tons of enjoyment in both. Sometimes, Marvel (comics) gave me more enjoyment than DC offerings at the same time. Anyway....

Lawlight (unless I missed something) said that critics are supposed to be more critical but their reviews are often lined up with or sometimes better than the average viewer. He also said that bad movies make money all of the time.

Now, I don't think there's any type of conspiracy or anything. I do, however, think the bar has been raised. We've been spoiled by good/great comic book films so it's going to take more than a decent adaptation and special effects to make audiences cream their pants. 

I'm just commenting because it seems that you guys are responding and reacting to something that (again, unless I missed something) was never said by Law light, anyway. Anyway, I've said my piece. Can't wait to see the film. I've been a huge Capitan America fan since Mark Said wrote him in the 90s. Carry on.
