I have watched:
- ASM
- ASM 2
- Dark Knight (because my wife is a massive Heath ledger fan and I am now as well, though not due to this film)
- DKR (was dragged to it)
And that's it.
Each one follows the Summer Blockbuster formula and it seems like only NA pays any big money on these films (just my observation; it may be wrong), whereas some real thought-process/deep plot films aren't as big and popular as a result.
I mean, Silence is an absolute masterpiece (and I despise Scorsese, as every film is a borderline rehash of the one that came before it), but I guarantee you that the lowest-grossing comic book film of that year (2016) made 10x or more money than the film did.
Spielberg, for me, is the only one that can do huge plots with a ton of action/stuff going on, really well and effectively (of course, he has some duds as well, but on the whole).
No Way Home may be a super-enjoyable film, but it doesn't make it cinematic art like Saving Ryan's Privates, Schindler or even (since it's the same overall genre) Jurassic Park.
And how bastardised everything has become from the source material, in the comic films (I used to be as gargantuan a Marvel fan as I could have been, when I was 8 years old; died off very quickly lol), just makes it a massive turn-off for me.
