This video is pretty cool! Detailing some of the DC Films that never made it to screen. That Jack Black Green Lantern film sounds like the worst idea ever, makes the actual movie look like The Dark Knight in comparison.

First of all, Jack Black would have made Green Lantern Great Again! That man is a treasure and everything he touches is gold!! And dont you ever forget it!
Nick Cage as Superman?
Really all this does is tell me that there is a Cabal of certifiably insane morons running DC and that, shockingly, more intelligent heads eventually prevailed and this is still the best drivel they could manage.
So while the DC Universe is a shambolic disaster as it is....it could have been worse.
Not exactly inspiring tons of confidence here.
Christian Bale is probably buying his agent a gift basket every day for the 'Hard Pass' and Ben Affleck is probably wondering if he was drunk when he said 'Yes' or if hes constantly drunk because he said 'Yes.'

It may not redeem the franchise, but it certainly breathed new life into it. Loved the many callbacks to the 80's, only wished they played a longer cut of The Touch.

Aquaman was decent, lots of by-the-numbers stuff, and some of the CGI was a little much and I was bored in a few places. But overall entertaining. I thought WW was quite a bit better.

Posted in the other thread but if you like comic book movies and have not seen the new Spider-Man movie you are simply wasting your time until that’s been done.
Unbelievably great movie. Amazed it hasn’t been gushed over more on here. It’s insane.
Why isn't Venom on my on demand yet? It came out on DVD on the 18th.. but it hasn't showed up yet. Anyone else have it?

You think Dark Knight Rises was better than the Dark Knight?!?
He also has Watchmen and V for Vendetta after Batman v. Superman. This is not someone whose opinions on the relative quality of films matter, and it certainly isn't worth arguing about, with him or anyone else.

I watched Venom tonight, while I didn't hate it, it felt so much like unfulfilled potential. Also it says a lot when the CGI character with a disembodied voice is far more interesting then Tom Hardy.

Well all film is subjective, so of course we will disagree on what movies we liked better. Maybe instead of ripping into my list you could give me your list and we could have a friendly debate about it. Watching movies and comic book films in particular are supposed to be fun.

Normally yeah, but you've debated BvS to death with pretty much everyone here including me, so it's kinda just been done.
But you have to understand how putting movies almost universally panned by critics and audiences above those which are almost universally loved by both makes people question your overall taste.

While I don't share his taste or his enthusiasm for everything comic book related, if everyone had the same lists, it would be pretty boring.

Oh hey, I agree. I'm sure my list of favorite movies would have some people raising eyebrows. People enjoy movies for different reasons and that's fine. But here's the thing, if you tell me Transformers 5 is your favorite movie, I'm probably not going to listen to anything you have to say about movies.
It’s one thing to disagree on movies and even question someone’s taste I suppose.
But saying someone’s opinion doesn’t matter is unnecessarily rude and pretty much lacking in self awareness IMO.
Its not that it doesn't matter. It's just been the same thing since the Aquaman trailer came out. He's probably posted a list every second page, and each time it leads to an argument about BvS with someone. His opinion has been noted and commented on multiple times. No one is going to convince him otherwise at this point, and he's not going to convince any of us that BvS is better than V for Vendetta or Watchmen.

The watchmen is a very divisive film. I loved it, but a lot of people hated it.

That’s the best approximation I can give for a list. Almost any movie could move up or down 5 places quite easily, depending on the day, maybe more. Some movies I didn’t list suck too much to bother ranking. I may have missed a few too. Hellboy? Also kept it to the current era of movies.
It’s insane to me that the first xmen movie didnt make my top 15. If you told me in 2000 there would be 15 better movies within the next 20 I’d have thought you were insane.

That's a solid list, it's hard putting together a list it's so fluid that movies can move up or down depending on when you last watched them. I totally agree with you in regards to the first X-Men, upon it's release it was probably top 5 best comic book movies ever. Now I personally don't even have it as top 5 X-Men films with X2, First Class, Logan, DOFP, Deadpool 1 & 2 and The Wolverine coming out since.
Oh Jesus I forgot DoFP. It might be my highest rated xmen movie.
The Wolverine was so close, yet so far. First hour was mostly brilliant. Last 30 mins made me want to blow my brains out.
It sucks when they make awful comic book movies. It’s worse when they spoil the best source material when they absolutely #### on it and completely bastardize it. That movie had so much potential. Could have been a top 5 superhero movie.
