I'm referring to the individual character movies, since they're all setting up the avengers. And I have watched everything up to iron man 3. Yes RDJ is a good actor and whatever, but the entertainment value of that movie literally is to treat the story as a joke. All three movies in the series doesn't have a lot of iron man fight scenes, and the stories aren't that good in each of them.
I wanted to express my thoughts after reading the ign review of thor 2, it sounds like that movie isn't even worth watching. The trailers certainly looked exciting, but the review really crawled up my spine especially if I have to compare thor 2 to iron man 3. The cap trailer a few posts up looks interesting, but I fear its the same case.
I agree, but I still get some enjoyment and entertainment out of some of them. Some of the problems I have with their movies is how they treat their villains. Unfortunately, the only good villain they have is Loki so far. It's quite sad that people are more excited for Loki than Thor when it's suppose to be Thor's movie. Besides Loki, all the villains have been a disappointment like Whiplash, Red Skull, etc. I even find The Incredible Hulk's Abomination more interesting out of the villains minus Loki. Besides the villains department, the heroes never face a hard challenge and threat. It's there in the movies, but I find it hard to believe it. That is why I say DC is so good in that area in my opinion. They have more heart and better story telling. The villains are great too like Joker, Zod, etc.
Unfortunately, this is a trend now. Marvel is trying to cater to everyone as much as possible. I rolled my eyes when I found out that the upcoming Thor movie has the most comedy so far... Really? The comedy in the first was alright, but I don't see Thor and his world to have more comedy than Stark's world. I hope Cap 2 has that trailer's feel and vibe for the whole movie because it is something different at least. They claim the movie is suppose to be a political thriller that feels like a Bourne movie, but with Captain America.
lol the helicarriers gets destroyed in the comics a lot. Besides, SHIELD Has more than one helicarrier, which is also present in the trailer. Wonder how much each helicarrier cost, lol.
X-Men may not be apart of Marvel's Cinematic Universe since the property is owned by Fox, but here is the first trailer for X-Men: Days of Future Past (shown at this year's Comic-Con)

Ehh, Singer hasn't done anything good since X-2. Superman Returns, Valkyrie, and Jack the Giant Slayer were either bad to mediocre. This does look promising since they can fix the X-Men continuity problems that the series has. I just hope he finds the right balance with the original trilogy and First Class cast. I will be very mad if Michael Fassbender has a small role.
I'm just really so sick of Wolverine being such a main character. First Class was awesome in large part because we actually got to focus on different characters. He's just not that interesting or compelling...certainly not enough for the 4 movies that have basically been about him already.

Yup, I feel the same. Huge Jackman is great, but he's obviously Fox's Robert Downey Jr. Fun fact: the role that Wolverine has in the movie was suppose to be Kitty Pryde (Ellen Page), but of course, they swapped with Wolverine just because of the general audience.

BLASPHEMY!
There can never be enough Wolverine!
All kidding aside, Wolverine has always been one of the pivots of X-Men for me, which is why i enjoyed the first triology a lot. I'm very curious about how well they will be able to deal with the continuity problems they have established with their films so far.
On the other topic, the only Marvel "villains" I consider well done were Magneto and Loki, but in the latter case I think it's more because I know he is supposed to be awesome, the role in Thor was a disgrace (Avengers was a bit better and I haven't seen Thor 2 yet so no comment on that movie).

I think this one has potential to be as good as the Winter Soldier or even better. They did nothing new for Ultron and I hope they don't do the same mistake twice.
As a person that read Civil War comics this seems pathetic. I think they are going to butcher the story and just have the whole movie be a setup for fights between heroes like it is a Mortal Kombat videogame. I doubt we are going to get a sensible story here.
