Except IM3 isn't nearly as self-indulgent and unpleasant as Batman Returns

 

[sdeezy]

Again stop assuming everyone who had problems with the movie are "fanboys". And I'm pretty sure TDKR got a better reception from fanboys the most

I was strictly talking about the fanboy nation. Of course there are members of the GA that will hate this, but clearly the majority don't.

Batman Returns is horrible.  IM3 is much better.,

[Michael Gary Scott]

Batman Returns is horrible.  IM3 is much better.,

Nah there both good.

[redfirebird2008]

Batman Returns is horrible.  IM3 is much better.,

 

You and Nevada both have horrible taste.

 

Kidding! Sort of...

[dashrendar44]

Batman Returns > Every single IM

[redfirebird2008]

Batman Returns > Every single IM

 

 

I'd give a slight edge to IM1, but both IM1 and BR are quite a bit better than IM3 and miles better than IM2.

[#ED]

Batman Returns > Every single IM

 

This.

 

What type of bump are we expecting today?

[baumer]

Batman Returns > Every single IM

So IM3 may hit 300M on Thursday?

[Mayhem2x3]

TA effect -- after TA all of these marvel movies will likely play as family film. So many more families with kids are going to these movies. It's a huge part of the increase from 100M OW to 170M OW.

some fanboys have legitimate points. I went and read some of their comments on various sites, and many explain their points intelligently and have bring up good points, it is just the crazy fanboys giving them a bad name. 

[ddddeeee]

IM3 wishes it was in Returns' league.

I definitely prefer BR but it's the same principal I think. Shane Black unleashed is just a lot more mainstream than Burton unleashed.

[Gopher]

IM3 went from a serious movie to being a joke. Literally.

 

The 'joke' IMO was a brilliant counterpoint to Stark's ego. As in, there's no alter ego for him to fight. 

 

I don't know where the 'serious movie' idea came from. From the moment Eiffel 65 starts playing, I think you know what you're in for. 

[wileECoyote]

Now that it seems to be playing more like a family film. I'd think its legs would be better than expected. I don't expect 3x obviously but I think this film will linger more strongly.

[The Futurist]

Serious, bleak and dark are overrated.

 

I am talking to you Christopher.

I think people sometimes put too much stock into the villains. Like superhero movies live or die depending on just villains or something.The seriousness for me from IM3 came from Tony Stark's struggle with PTSD and panic attacks, and him coming to terms with the fact that at the end, the one he has to fight and overcome is himself.
