Marvel/DC movies

[Johnny Cupcakes]

I probably have almost 10,000 comics at my house, and have collected them for the majority of my life, so I'm much more of a critic of these movies than most people, but I probably have a bit of bias toward them as well.

With that said....Marvel has done an incredible job at staying true to the source material, while developing new storylines and building a universe. It is a huge cinematic accomplishment to bring that all together and to do it so well. It seems that liking these movies is a minority opinion in this thread, but there is a reason that 10 of the top 25 highest grossing films of all time were done by Marvel Studios...it's incredibly entertaining. It is also very common for them to be very highly regarded both critically, and by audiences.

DC comics has not had the same success...they just aren't as good.

Smaller comic publishers also have a ton of success dipping into their franchises, and you'd be surprised to see just how many films original material came from a comic book.
