Watchmen is one of the most underrated superhero movies of all time. I loved the film it was dark, real, complex and unapologetic. It explored each character fully and fleshed out a real story with motivations and interesting character arcs.
I would put it up there with Christopher Nolans batman series. While the DCEU isnt perfect I do feel man of steel and BVS got unnecessary criticism and only did so by marvel fanboys who are so hooked on the Marvel formula their brains cant deviate from anything that doesn't go according to the Marvel plan.
Marvel have consistantly pushed out content good or bad jsut to sucker more and more lowest common denominotr fans who dont have a deep understanding of the orgiion content and are happy to be spoon fed wahtever comes on the screen
I'd say Watchmen is way ahead of the Dark Knight Trilogy. Man of Steel was the first time I ever loved a Superman movie. I loved the way the movie was handled. I'd put it around the Dark Knight Trilogy. I waited for the Directors cut for BvS and I can understand with almost half an hour cut, the Theatrical version might have really sucked.
100% true. Sometimes they do deliver some great experiences like the two Avengers movies and the first Guardians of the Galaxy. Marvel's aversion to take risks makes them pump out mediocre stuff. I don't think any of the movies except Captain America (first one) and the first 2 Thor movies sucked. But MCU mostly feels like a high budget TV series more than anything. They are good. But Never great. Also they have too much humor. In some movies it works. But in some it doesn't (Civil War Airport Fight)
