Guess what? They are suppose to feel like comic books, because they're based on comics. Sounds like this is the film that we should be getting.

"…these films are increasingly feeling like episodes of TV shows or, perhaps more appropriately, issues of comic books…this ultimately boils down to yet another quest to find a magical MacGuffin that will stop a portal in the sky from opening…these films to distinguish themselves a little more if we're going to have one every six months."

Well said. 'Iron Man 3' was a fine enough throaway (RDJ's presence elevates the material, and I liked it better than 'Avengers'), but this is pretty much how I feel about the Marvel machine altogether and it's good to see others feel that way, too. too.

Remember when the fanbois were so defensive of Marvel, they had to shut down the comments for Avengers on Rotten Tomatoes because there were too many death threats to critics who dared to give it a bad review? Now it's all "These movies suck, who likes superhero movies" blah blah blah. Have the fickle fans of nerdcore finally moved on?

First one to say, "well all the nerds liked it, so this means nothing," gets a prize which should be a forehead slam on the desk.

I REALLY wish they could've developed Malekith the Accursed into a complex, interesting villain that viewers could maybe sympathize with. But, then again, it's Marvel, so why get my hopes up.

When will these movies actually say something interesting? The good X-men movies managed to. The last three Batman movies managed to.

Nerd is not an insult Washington.

Everybody has a bit of need or geekyness inside them.

So go suck a Cock you pretentious douche bag!

I was wondering if Malekith would be able to carry a movie as a threat. Most of my eggs are in the Captain America: The Winter Soldier Basket, really interested in how that turns out.

The only duff film marvel have released so far is Iron Man 3.

Everything else is fine & pretty distinguishable. If you canst notice the differences you're not a
Very good critic to be reviewing this type of film.

The superhero genre ended with Nolan's Batman. Now there's only cash grab, geek-pandering, badly written action comedies left. I'd say Ant-Man has potential because of Edgar Wright, but the rest give me headache.
