I don't mind us getting off the MCU as long as it's about comic book movies or their associated TV programs.

Wonder Woman might flop too...Justice League might really be the last entry in the DCEU if that's the case, unless it makes Star Wars money (not bloody likely). They should have cut their losses with BvS, but they were already too far into production with the other stuff...talk about betting on the wrong horse. "It's the STORY, stupid!" So sad. They really deserve to be done justice, pun intended.

Dredd is a British comic character so, is a comic movie.

I've enjoyed most of the Marvel movies, though I found Age of Ultron to be the weakest, story-wise, so far (followed closely by Ironman 2).   My favourites have to be Guardians of the Galaxy and DeadPool.

Age of Ultron could have easily been fixed by being split into 2 parts. They could have built up the Hulk/Black Widow romance more organically, given more development to the twins, shown Tony developing a relationship with his 'son' before driving him to madness and justifying his dark path, and given portions like Thor's vision quest more fleshing out. Such a waste.

I would have said Iron Man 3 was the worst story-wise, though. There was literally no way to fix that train wreck.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

RE: Marvel Cinematic Universe
Haven't seen Ironman 3 yet so I can't judge.

I AM enjoying the TV adaptations I've seen so far (just bought Agent Carter), and I'm looking for season three of Agents of Shield.

Saying that, I'm also enjoying the TV adaptations of the DC universe (about bloody time someone gave SuperGirl a chance).

So did I.

The soundtrack kinda sucked but it was closer to the comic than the Stallone movie.

The Honest Trailer for Iron Man 3 isn't exaggerating when it calls it 'Regular Man, featuring Iron Man'. Don't get your hopes up for that one, and if you're really into the comic lore, it's likely going to piss you off.

Agent Carter wasn't as fun for me, I always thought it should have been more emphasis on the founding of SHIELD and not just her own adventures prior to that. I would have loved to have seen a young Hank Pym when he first joins and discovers his Pym Particles. I bet they could have lasted at least one more season (maybe even gotten some with more than 8 episodes) if they did that.

All 3 completed seasons of Agents of SHIELD are on Netflix, but I think only season 1 has been put out on DVD so far for some reason.

No, I have season two on DVD and have had it for at least 6 months.  Been keeping an eye out for season three.

I haven't watched Agent Carter yet so I'll give my opinion after I watch it.

Agent Carter's decent, but it could have been more, especially if it had at least 13-episode seasons.

Ooh, one whole western? I would be giddy if we only had one comic book movie this year.

Well, I don't know their source material. I get that they screwed up The Mandarin, but I've only read Civil War out of those. I'm not much of a comic book fan.

It was better than I expected, but you have to remember that when people think of a Dredd movie they think of Sylvester Stallone and Rob Schneider. You can't really blame them for gun shy about seeing it.

Rob Schneider was in that? So I guess it wasn't a coincidence he was with Stallone in Demolition Man, too.
