Lol. It must be hard for you these days to say you liked BvS better than the CW. But here is the thing, you are not getting old, the good moments in BvS trumps those of CW. BvS bad moments were really bad though. It's like two pop singers releasing trashy songs, one top the charts and is endorsed by the hipsters and the other one isn't. Both are microwave popcorn in the end, one has a better synthetic flavour that's liked better by the masses. One more thing, RT scores don't reflect the quality of the movie accurately. After all, you classify your review as "rotten" or "fresh", that's dumb and very black and white. CW isn't a 9 out of 10 movie but that's how RT scoring system works. I guess what I am trying to say, it's ok if you don't like Civil War, it's not the masterpiece RT score makes you believe it is. You are not getting old |
That might be it... As a whole, I ignore a movie's bad moments in favor of the good ones, and the winner for me is the one whose good moments are the best...

Civil War was a more grounded movie than the other Marvel super group films. It had a deeper plot than Batman vs Superman and actually had a plot twist that was coherent with the overall progression of story. The movie managed to have more than one plot twist which really kept things interesting. Batman vs Superman had zero indication of true motivation for Lex Luthor and left you to connect the contextual dots yourself for the random events ( from different stories) which eventually build up to the battle between Batman and Superman. One thing I love about the Captain America movies opposed to the other Marvel movies is that the scripts since Winter Solider have been like a slightly lesser version of a bond flick in its writing when it comes intel, spy games and action. The last part with Stark was like Bond learning that Vesper was a double agent in relevance to the plot. And....you're saying youre getting older? Its cool to say that you like Batman vs Superman more than Civil War but to say it was more adult oriented in level of causes me to beg to question this. Batman vs Supermans plot was more forgivable by a child because the most coherent thing about the movie was the battles opposed to the intellect applied to the story progression. |
I am saying it because older people are the ones with the DC>Marvel mentality. Most youngsters prefer Marvel and it's action and humor approach to the horribly serious approach of DC...
| Soundwave said: BvS is a more uneven film, some times bordering on being laughably bad, but somehow it kinda ... works, lol. And when it does I found it better than Captain America. There aren't any real emotion stakes in Marvel movies either. They're enjoyable, but they're almost borderline comedies with all the little jokes, you don't ever really fear or feel anything for the characters other than "ha, this dude is cool and funny". There's no sense of danger. The end fight with Cap and Tony raised the temperature a bit at least. |
Someone understands!
And I am glad I am not the only one who feels Captain, which before this movie, used to be my favorite of all the Avengers characters, suddenly fell from grace and billionaire playboy man suddenly became my favorite, even though I hated Iron Man before this movie.
I for once, wanted Stark to beat the tar out of Captain in the end. Before Civil War, it was the other way around... It's Britannia vs Black Knights all over again. We're supposed to root for the rogue dude for no good reason.
I am tired of doing that. Want me to root for the rogue? Give me one reason to and I might...
