#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 With the summer box office season drawing to a close, what was the best Superhero film so fat this year. And will the upcoming Doctor Strange be better then any of them? My vote goes to Deadpool. Which was refreshing in a way not only thanks to it's humour, but the fact that the story wasnt about apocalyptic end of the world type stuff. Basically it's one guy pissing another guy off because he was being a dick about his first name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeping Strings 2,344 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Yeah, I'd agree with that (although wasn't Deadpool released around February time?) Admittedly I have let both my dislike of Man Of Steel and the negative critical response to Dawn Of Justice put me off seeing it (ditto Suicide Squad). Civil War and Apocalypse were fun enough, but Deadpool trumps them both - the refeshingly toned-down stakes (although the action doesn't suffer as a result), the snarky irreverent humour, and the uber-hot Morena Baccarin with her kit off all add up to a very entertaining movie.

crocodile 7,984 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Deadpool is probably the most striking film on the list but I don't have any desire to watch it again. The problem with this character is that once you get past his gimmicky premise, then there isn't anything else out there. It was fun but I almost completely forgot about by now.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 So, not a fan of Marvel then. OK. Btw it's interesting to note that Suicide Squad got terrible reviews and very bad word to mouth, and yet it's going to beat Man Of Steel's box office pretty soon.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 Me? How so?

crocodile 7,984 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Let me rephrase that slightly: "I thought you were supposed to be the DCEU apostle?" And yes, Nolan's trilogy is overrated. But not very, Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 I've defended them against people who claim they are utter shit, which they really arent. But they don't rise above the level of the average entertaining but forgettable popcorn flick, like any of Marvel's. Let's face it. We arent talking about high-brow cinema with any of them.

Pieter Boelen 740 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Deadpool started out very fun. Then it turned bleak and dark for the middle and they sort-of lost me there. Ending got better again though. All in all, a bit uneven but I'm not sorry I saw it. Still.... I liked Captain America better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
