@n9302347078: making more money doesn't make it a better movie. How is the R rated Logan suppose to compete with Civil War when a large portion of Civil War's audience couldn't even purchase tickets for Logan? We are also talking about Civil War that is apart of the massively popular MCU, featured Spiderman and Black Panther for the first time, and was a massive team up film. If that movie doesn't make more than Logan then something went very, very wrong. BvS also made a ton of money, more than a lot of other superhero movies. That doesn't really speak to the overall quality of the movie.
The fact that both films, Civil War and Logan, are neck and neck on rotten tomatoes for both critic and review scores tell me that, no, it isn't a fact that Civil War is a better movie.
@DETfaninATL: we don't even know what the joke was. People overreacting because a single joke was cut from a movie. Do you know how much dialogue and content gets cut from movies and never gets reported? Considering the humor in the first Deadpool it doesn't surprise me that the sequel might have had a joke that went a little too far for Disney.
@urbanman2004: I just don't understand why Disney would do that. Look at the success of both Deadpool and Logan (both financially and critically). Why would Disney want to do anything to jeopardize the success of those franchises? They could make future R rated Deadpool movies without branding them with the Disney name. They could probably keep the studio name 20th Century Fox for the franchise, or simply create a new studio for R rated content.
@anti-hyperlink: "It just irks me that so much of Disney's stuff is stuff they just made a movie of and now people think they created it"
I think part of it is that Disney, more often than not, is successful with whatever they create. I don't think people care whether or not Disney is making original content or not as long as it's good. Disney didn't create Marvel but they've done a pretty damn good job of bringing those characters to the screen and I appreciate what Disney did to make a Marvel cinematic universe possible.
@ardenes: tried responding a few days ago but the page was down or something.
I have a bias towards The Dark Knight. Still my favorite comic/supehero movie, as well as one of my favorite movies of all time. With that movie I always go back to seeing it for the first time. A movie has never blown me away on first viewing like the Dark Knight did and that's despite going in with sky high expectations and hype.
I like to think the Dark Knight will stand as a genre defining movie and achievement. To me it's still amongst the best superhero movies ever (still my personal favorite). I'm not sure if the general perception of the movie is still has high as I see it but the movie left a mark and legacy on the genre. It was one of the first and best examples of a superhero movie that took the subject matter seriously and proved how good these movies could be. If that movie wasn't as good and as successful as it was it's possible that the superhero genre, and perhaps the movie landscape in general, looks very different.
@spartanx169x: tell me about it. Just not enough time. I've been loving both God of War and Horizon but have barely had time to play one let alone both games. That doesn't even include a few other games I've purchased over the years that I haven't finished. But talk about first world gamer problems.
