John Marston Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Did Avengers make the AFI list?Oh.TDKR 1TA 0so I should care what a bunch of critics think? I personally say Avengers was way better than TDKR and TDKR was no where near as "intelligent" and "Thought provoking" or a "masterpiece" like Nolan fanboys try to make it out to be. I wouldn't be surprised if most people agreed Avengers was better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Guys guys guys, just leave it at TDKR is better than The Avengers.Thx.simply a matter of opinion. I see nothing in TDKR that makes it "better" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Disney Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Did Avengers make the AFI list?Oh.TDKR 1TA 0I'm not sure any AFI list really matters around here. I think a lot of us prefer to use the box office numbers when making our arguments. I think that's what following the box office is all about.

Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Hey, I loved both TA and TDKR, but I think it's pretty obvious TDKR is living off the goodwill TDK(and Inception as well) created in the critics community. Just imagine if TDKR was a standalone film and TDK didn't exist.I'll give you a moment on that thought.........yeah. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's what following the box office is all about.There are tons of people who appreciate film making regardless of its gross. I was just pointing at people who say TDKR is divisive. Clearly not. I see what you're saying though. I've always said it. The Avengers will be remembered on this website for being the highest grossing comic book movie ever. Not the best movie quality wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 The fact that AFI overlooked the highest grossing comicbook movie of all time in the AVENGERS and added TDKR must've been more out of sympathy tieing it together with the Aurora CO. incident than the quality of the movie itself.. It was more out of Charity that they added this.. I mean, you're really adding a movie where your villain sounds like a fucking walrus when he speaks in the form of TDKR??? Nuff said Or they did not think Avengers was as good as you did. Bane's voice was great in TDKR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) Did Avengers make the AFI list?Oh.TDKR 1TA 0Lol 2 can play that game.Did TDKR get a higher RT score? NopeDid TDKR get a better cinemascore? NopeDid TDKR have better legs? Hmmm nopeBasically did more people prefer Avengers to TDKR? Yes, It seems that way...Both films are overrated and to think that any one of them should get a BP nod is just laughable.

Lordmandeep Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) Banes voice was great but sometimes it was just silly....
