Ray's 54th DCU/GrayHaven Megathread - Before WatchmOOMPH!!!

I thought he was talking about quality, not box office. That's what I was responding to at least.

Either way, my DKR fanboyism will not abate!

I was talking about quality too

Avengers the movie is what I wish the comics would make me feel like right now.

Iron Man also didn't have one of the best screenwriters on the movie. Whedon's script is immensely more subtle than anything Nolan does in a screenplay. He's a good director.

Yes, he is. He's excellent, and I'm thrilled to see him get that big Hollywood break finally.

I'm not sure how you'd say the Avengers script was "Subtle", though. If anything, what it excelled at was capturing the big action, laugh-out-loud moments, and gripping suspense of what a great comic book feels like.

I prefer Iron Man to DK by a wide margin but that's due to the fun factor again

Same here. Not only for the fun but also the capability of the actor playing the lead character.

Robert Downey Jr WAS Tony Stark. His entire life was just rehearsing for that role. And Tony Stark is Tony Stark in or out of the suit.

Christian Bale was a fantastic Bruce Wayne. And there is where his abilities end. He was an atrocious Batman. Heath Ledger on the other hand was the Joker, without question. I could believe he was the character in that movie. That's the only reason the movie really gets any rewatches from me.

That's my big problem w Nolan. Great films that have Batman in his world, not a great comic book movie really.

Pretty much.

Also Bale's marble-mouth Batman voice

Just accept it Ray. This is the Thor will be a better movie than Green Lantern argument all over again.

You're Andrew and the rest of us are everyone else who was right

I fully expect to get smacked by Ray at NYCC by now.

I'm going to be on guard for the whole damn convention

It's a fantastic screenplay. Almost had a comedy of menace feel. People manipulating people. But Joss never makes it as heavy as Nolan does and that's why Whedon is the better craftsman.

All I know is the Justice League movie is gonna be a mess.

[Dark Sasha]

Who da thunk that Chris Evans would be an amazing Steve Rogers?

Just accept it Ray. This is the Thor will be a better movie than Green Lantern argument all over again.

I don't know whether to agree with this post or not...
