What's your favorite DCEU film?

What's your favorite DCEU film out of what's been released so far?

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Toss up between Man of Steel and Wonder Woman.

I like Wonder Woman better, but Michael Shannon's Zod was a better villain than Ares for my money.

[Autbot_Benz]

Wonder Woman than BVS Extended than SS(Guilty Pleasure) Man Of Steel was ok was never a big superman fan

[Turo602]

Wonder Woman.

[Spike Spiegel]

I loved Wonder Woman after seeing it on opening day. Man of Steel grew on me after a while, and I always liked BvS, especially after seeing the Extended Cut.

The only one I have any real issues with is Suicide Squad.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Wonder Woman, hands down. suicide Squad was decent, but the others never interested me. Just feel like MoS and BvS both missed the mark on Supes' character- and Bats too in BvS' case.

[DestronMirage22]

IMO Wonder Woman is the only good film in DC’s entire “cinematic universe”.

I came in here to say just this.
So...THIS.

[dl316bh]

Count me in on Wonder Woman being the only good one so far.

I liked Man of Steel when it came out, but I turned on it over time. Part of it was that it became clearer to me that it didn't really get Superman at all, much less his parents. Pa Kent is all wrong in that film.

[Splinter the boss]

I voted for Wonder Woman, but I think it's a draw for me between WW and MoS. As someone mentioned earlier, MoS had a better villain.

[ZariusTwo]

There are scenes I like in both MOS and BVS, but they don't elevate the movies beyond a certain level for me. Wonder Woman has a dogs*it ending, but everything else is fine.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

No love for Suicide Squad, I see. :tlol:

[AT-Man]

No love for Suicide Squad, I see. :tlol:

If it weren't for WW, I would've voted for SS.

[Andrew NDB]

I give it to MoS by a nose.

[myconius]

Wonder Woman was the best of all of them.


but i have to give my vote to my favorite 5 minutes of BvS

[Shark_Blade]

If it weren't for WW, I would've voted for SS.

Ditto. It's a close second.

[Candy Kappa]

Wonder Woman. It's no contest, it's the only good movie throughout.

[Splinter the boss]

I enjoyed suicide squad for what it was but it's not the best. Loved Harley and the others. Joker was ridiculous.

[mrmaczaps]

Wonder Woman.... this version of Superman is off... more Kal El/Eradicator than Clark Kent/Superman... I do like BatFleck though as much as thats painful to admit. He nails both Bruce and Bats really well...

WW
SS
BvS solely for WWs part in the film
MOS coming in dead last with a broken neck

Not holding out any hope for Justice League to be any good.

[Coola Yagami]

Dark Knight trilogy. Oh wait...

[ProphetofGanja]

I rewatched Man of Steel last night, and it's definitely the second best film of the DCEU so far, to me at least. It's a solid film, not great, but not bad either. It did have a bit of a somber mood for a Superman film, and I think that's Snyder's main problem; he really doesn't get Superman at all, and he relies waaay too heavily on moody ambiance in his films. He would do better directing music videos or video game cut-scenes, honestly.

Yeah, let's not get carried away here. MoS is fairly awesome apart from screwing up Pa Kent's death, the "You shoulda let those kids in the bus die! Damn it, Clark!" thing and Superman not saving anybody. I can't really point to anything else in that movie I don't dig beyond little nits.

While I can't say I'd be 100% confident that he'd have done a great one (Snyder really should have bowed out of things with MoS), I'm pretty sure making Batman V Superman and not Man of Steel 2 after Man of Steel 1 was the result of WB forcing that on Snyder with their shortcut roadmap to "Justice League." Within that, though, I'm sure "OK, well let's do the Death of Superman and The Dark Knight Returns all in one then!" was all him.

Maybe a lot of it was studio meddling, but Snyder definitely tried to stuff too much into BvS.

I thought Pa Kent's death was alright at least, and Superman did save the guys on the exploding oil rig, and the kids on the bus. But yeah after that it seems like he just becomes Lois Lane's personal bodyguard. And she just keeps doing dumb **** to put herself in danger, in BvS too.

The other big problem I had was Jor-El being so prominent in the film. After slogging through this silly Krypton prologue, we have to see him more? I get that Snyder was trying to put Clark in a dilemma between earth dad's wishes and space dad's, but it totally should have been Brainiac who explains things to Clark instead of a Russell Crowe hologram.

Yeah, that could have been better. I guess they figured they had Russell Crow, might as well use him.

Toss up between Man of Steel and Wonder Woman.

I like Wonder Woman better, but Michael Shannon's Zod was a better villain than Ares for my money.

Yeah, Zod was a better villain overall. Ares was alright at times but both villains suffer from weak writing in the third act.

I think for me I'd rank the films like this:

1. Wonder Woman
2. Man of Steel
3. Tied for last, Suicide Squad and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

I might rewatch BvS and SS this week to see if one is really better than the other. They're bad in different ways. For BvS though I just really can't get past all the dumb logic and plot holes though, many of which are detailed here (http://mashable.com/2016/03/28/plot-holes-batman-v-superman/?utm_cid=a-seealso#ZeKA0.e3mZq9).

Dark Knight trilogy. Oh wait...

:lol: It definitely ranks as my favorite series of Batman movies thus far. I wonder if it'll ever get outdone.

[sdp]

I've only seen MoS and BvS but out of those two easily BvS. Yeah the story is all over the place and the set up for JL is god damn awful but I liked all the fan service. Snyder is good at that, and I have no problems with stuff like the "Martha" part. Overall I was left excited, it just set up a horrible universe from it, why kill superman before the JL. But if we don't take that into account and keep it as "one film" it was fan service galore. Love it just for that and I can appreciate it.

I liked Luthor too.

Man of Steel I also enjoyed, I just feel it's too long and don't feel like watching it again but I liked it and likely has a better story overall than BvS (in b4 Cubed recommends watching at 1.5 :lol:)

[AquaParade]

I love BvS. It's filled with visual splendor, just like the comics I grew up loving.

Yes, the story is a mess, but I find plenty to enjoy visually and audibly.

I think Man of Steel is a great film too. Probably a better film than BvS, but not my favorite. Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman I can do without. I wanted to like them but they didn't do it for me.

[myconius]

Dark Knight trilogy. Oh wait...

i'd say a tentative yes to the first two.

the third one... not so much.

I love BvS. It's filled with visual splendor, just like the comics I grew up loving.

Yes, the story is a mess, but I find plenty to enjoy visually and audibly.


^ i have to agree with this.

yes the story definitely was a mess, but the cinematography and musical score were amazing.

Wonder Woman is the only good movie of the four.

Man of Steel is technically mostly okay. The movie is a joyless chore that's hard to get through, and for all of Snyder's shooting skill, the colour palette is hideous to look at. The story holds up... okay... technically, though it's definitely nothing special there either, and it mistakes "serious" for mature and gloominess for depth. It's pretentious and thinks it's way smarter than it actually is. But as a Superman story? It's wretched on a whole other level, totally misunderstanding the character in almost every way. The second "best" DCEU movie on a technical level, but the only one I know I'll never, ever watch again.

Batman vs. Superman is a total mess, guilty of most of Snyder's worst tics and extremely poor choices in Man of Steel, but... it's more entertaining. Not remotely "good", and a lot of the fun I had was laughing at it, but that's more than I can say for Man of Steel. For chrissakes, they had Lex Luthor pee in a jar and label it "granny's peach tea" and thought they were making some next-level work of genius. Hysterical.

Suicide Squad is like an idiotic fever dream. If I didn't know different, I'd swear they hired three people to shoot three separate movies, then hired a first-semester film student, locked them in an editing bay, forced them to take an actual mountain of LSD, and haphazardly cobble one movie out of all the footage before the overdose killed them. So... yeah, pretty entertaining. Absolutely terrible, but entertaining.

Wonder Woman is legitimately very-good-to-great superhero movie. Well-shot, well-written, well-performed. The third act has some problems, but that's a common issue with most movies, and on the whole it's a joy.
