For the record, the self-serve kiosks are a terrible time drain that clogs up the ordering system during a rush. It takes me 3 minutes to make an order that a cashier could have entered in 10 seconds.

You may be right! For instance, I know that I’m in the minority with this opinion, but I didn’t really like any of the Raimi Spider-Man movies, largely because Tobey Maguire’s Peter was ... juuuuuuust completely pathetic.

Heck, maybe the new movies are just trying to dodge the comparisons to Andrew Garfield’s brooding…

I liked Tomb Raider and Dredd.

Captain America is clunky filmmaking, but it’s got heart, so I have a soft spot for it. It also helped establish Cap as my favorite character.

i have to agree with you there... as a Marvel comic reader in the 90's Ironman and Captain America were titles i NEVER picked up because they seemed so played out and boring. i like the variety of the x-groups and all the weird mutants they had.

Can we talk about how no one knew who Iron Man was before this film? As a dedicated Marvel Zombie in the late 80s/early 90s, I loved X-Men and Spider-Man. I read and enjoyed the Avengers, but they were never my passion and mostly standard average super hero comics. They never had any edge or the hottest artists, and…

He’s terrific, except that his characterization in the third film is completely mucked up— (By the end of TDK he’s become Batman’s Dick Cheney, and the very next movie he’s somehow so upset about Bruce doing Batman stuff that he just up and quits???????)

I’m still pissed at that 8-year do-nothing time skip, to the extent that it made me retroactively pissed at Nolan’s approach to the character. Yes, it’d probably more “realistic” to have Batman retire from crime and become a recluse, but part of the fun of comic book movies is imagining all of the adventures they’re…

They really wrote themselves into a corner. I’m sure they had plans for a possible (uh, likely) 3rd Batman film and maybe that all changed drastically when Ledger died, but I agree they should have kept Two-Face around. Instead, The Dark Knight Rises jumps ahead 8 years and spends a lot of time looking backwards and ta…

“No nation can succeed that tolerates violence or the threat of violence as a method of political intimidation, coercion, or control. We all know that. Such conduct must be fiercely opposed and firmly prosecuted. We want all sides to come together in peace and harmony. We can do it. We can do it. We can do it. It will…

The ASM movies are made by people who think that the thing viewers are most interested in about Spider-Man are his dead parents.

Bryan Singer directed two very good X-Men movies, so we know that he knew how to make a superhero movie.

I’ve grown to love Begins way more than the two films that followed. Begins is almost a perfect adaptation of Batman to the big screen, on part with Richard Donner’s Superman. The problem with the sequels is that they completely drop the aesthetic, tone, and atmosphere of Begins to the point that the trilogy feels…

Wolverine’s introductory scene, in a chicken-wire cage fight in the Canadian wilderness, is a perfect piece of filmmaking.

I’m somehow locked out of my new Kinja account. I connected it to Facebook yesterday, but today, it still prompts me to connect to my Facebook to login, but when I do, acts like I need to create a new account (which I can’t because one already exists with my credentials).
