View Full Version : DC and Marvel Marathon/Movie Thread

Considering one of the recent threads here, I'm going to attempt this. Every single live action movie from the Marvel and DC universes reviewed. Not just the MCU, Fox related productions, and DCEU but anything prior to them. Those as such include Christopher Reeve Superman, the Maguire Spider-Man films, etc. Maybe I'll even try the film serials of old due to chronological order of release date and even TV related films, the Bixby Hulk films comes to mind.

Keep in mind: I'm in no way, shape, or form an expert on these characters so I may get facts wrong. I'm just a guy who views these companies as legendary for their impacts throughout their respective histories, some moments more than others.

Feel free to join in on the fun if you want. :) Would be fun to here other views on these films, especially if you're a bigger fanatic then me in particular. (Batman in mind especially. :P) Reviews should be about one every two to three weeks. Anyone who has a suggestion where I can view them is greatly appreciated because I don't have much money to work with.

Also, think of this as the older DC/Marvel review thread. Any older movies (40's to... whatever) will be done here, best if we make a DCEU thread and MCU thread to prevent their respective films being overfilled. It's an experiment right now, but I hope it's successful.

Yay, this'll be fun.

Are you going to cover the 1940s theatrical serials for Batman? The first one is racist up the wazoo, and Batman speaks in a boston accent:D

This will end in tears. And bans.

From where I sit, I wouldn't bother with reviewing anything that wasn't widely watched. Like, ignore the old old old stuff Zarius just mentioned, or the original Captain America movie.

Marvel started with the Fox X-Men movies and Sony's Spiderman; Batman started in '89; Superman was the Reeves flicks. Go with that.

But then you're missing amazing gems, like the Diamond in the Rough Reb Brown: Action Star Extraordinaire.

I firmly believe that nostalgia is vastly overrated. So is hate-watching a movie, no matter the amount of alcohol.

Christopher Lee was in one of those Reb Brown Cap films, can't be all bad.

I consider Blade the first modern Marvel movie, not X-Men or Spidey. And not just because his movie came first.

I think one step at a time. :) I might go chronological, but I'll cover everything. For right now, I may edit what I do first. I'm thinking covering by superhero I'm most used to, so I might do Spider-Man first, but unsure.

Serials I may cover later though as they are the longest to watch, but definitely. :)

I think I have those on DVD somewhere. Are they worth watching at all?

I haven't seen them since I was a kid so my memory is hazy.

Hey, I don't know if anyone's still interested in me doing these reviews, but I'm aiming to do my first one sometime next week. Odds are I'm going to start with the Tobey Maguire trilogy due to my nostalgia, so keep a look out. :)

Sounds cool. As a lover of the wall-crawler I look forward to it.

At least a few people are interested. :) I'm hoping to put up my first review in a few days (maybe every Wednesday/every other Wednesday for now?). This style I have for it will be as follows:

First, an introduction about the character/movie before entering the main review. I'd discuss the story, the characters/actors, the film's production (costumes, music and sound, that stuff), and finally any extraneous info before giving my final thoughts and score. I'll be sure to post it all under spoilers due to length.

Be on the lookout for my review of Spider-Man 2002, coming sometime this coming week. :)

Eh, I'll contribute. Every movie you post, I'll chime in with my "what I liked, what I didn't like."

EDIT: Unless, of course, you'd rather I didn't. I by no means want to derail or upstage your own contributions. :tsmile:

I'm all for debate Cy (especially if I do the Nolan trilogy. ;)), I mostly want to have a test run with the Maguire films as my starting point and see where to go.

All I've seen of those are the CinemaSins "Everything Wrong With..." videos. I ain't got much on those. :tlol:

:tlol: Either way, consider them a pilot (if this were a show) for me to get down to business. I already said it, but nostalgia of them makes them the easiest to discuss. I should probably vary between DC and Marvel each week, probably do the Spider-Man trilogy first then the older Batman movies.
