[QUOTE="TrippyHippy, post: 7731388, member: 27252"] I think the major problem with the DC movies is that they rushed them, in order to do a catch up with the Marvel movies. The movies themselves are generally quite reverent to the comics, but because the narrative is rushed it's difficult for people to follow them. Had they done an extra couple of movies for Superman and Batman in the lead-up to Batman vs Superman, they'd probably have a lot more traction in the development of the story accordingly. In the case of Suicide Squad and Justice League, both had troubled productions because the makers were trying to react to fan-identified issues of humour. Suicide Squad was apparently re-written and reshot in a matter of weeks after the trailer was released, while JLA had swapped Directors halfway through and tried to shift the movie into a more jokey affair than was originally scripted. If you look at the whole range of the Marvel movies, by contrast, they've been established over the course of a whole decade. In fact, some movies are better than others - in fact some are pretty forgettable - but the general tone and approach to each movie is consistently the same. This is why they are basically doing better with audiences - they've established their own fans expectations for each movie, and just consistently meet those expectations. In the case of Star Wars, I think we have witnessed more nerd rage this last week than any franchise ever needs. [/QUOTE]
