Avengers Is A Movie With A Master Legacy, The Best Ever On Many Levels!

The Avengers is still the king of the genre all-time and probably will remain so until Avengers: Age Of Ultron tries to take the title away. Sure, Iron Man 3, The Wolverine and Thor: The Dark World all are high quality films. Yet, none managed to deliver at the level that Avengers did.

Even prior, films like Iron Man, X2 and Spider-Man 2 were amazing. Yet, Avengers topped them all.

Honestly, nothing the character of Batman has ever been in has been in the mix for the title this century. Batman 89 set the genre on its ear and was grand fun back in the day. Once X-Men opened the door with an assist from Blade, it's been a new ball game. A game were the Nolan Batman fit in but has since been deemed overrated by most people.

Case in point most recently, TDKR will forever be known as that disappointing third film that no one outside of the fanboy community likes and the one that resulted in that horrible shooting tragedy. As has now been officially noted in the history books, TDKR's RT score is elevated only because of intimidation and threats that critics wanted to avoid. That's THE legacy of things like TDKR. I know that hurts Nolan fanboys but often the truth hurts. They have started to learn to live with it but they do so with bitter anger toward Marvel movies past, present and future. The fact that they are STILL trolling here and reading things like this says it all. They can't even find contentment on their own boards and pages. That appears to be their legacy as a fan base. More's the pity.

Avengers legacy is being the king of the genre.

The best CBM bar none indeed.

There are some close contenders but Avengers is still the king.

Everything has converged perfectly, delivering what is now very much the king of the genre.

The Avengers is certainly the best overall comic adaptation film ever made and still can be considered so even three years later. Really, how could it not be? They positioned this thing with FIVE other set up films that were each remarkable in their own right. Not only does it all come together but I'm happy to say this amazing cast delivers in every way. Believe it or not, every single character featured previously in those five films gets time to really shine at one point or another in this astounding movie. Even though the set up has been epic, the result was anything but assured. It would have been easy to be overwhelmed by the task of putting all these great character together and making it click but they pulled it off perfectly. Maybe it's because the characters themselves are complex and intriguing and that they have been brought to three dimensional life by people that really care. Whatever the case, EVERYONE hits a home run here. They fleshed out perfect cohesion while remembering to include the fun and humor that have made those other five films good. If you define those films as good then you'll define Avengers as great. It's a unified step up and I didn't think that possible. What's also amazing is that I think this movie works without having seen any of those other films. Then, the fun factor will be enjoyed by those that didn't care about the other movies. The depth and amazement will come from those that have invested in to this universe. What they've done is transcend any other of this genre's films by going deeper and doing so in spectacular fashion with Oscar caliber performances.

I thought Batman Begins and Spider-Man 2 were both much better films. I'm not sure how you can judge that most people now think something is overrated.

Then along came Civil War and snatched the title away from Avengers! Someone had to do it, glad it was kept in the family.

This "king" is now little bit cringey to watch. Formulaic story, poorly fleshed out villain, plot inconstancy, too much style over substance, bland acting, etc. The Dark Knight Rises is a better piece of filmmaking than the Avengers. Watch the scene when Bruce talks to Alfred for the last time and you'll get what I mean. Also, if you're saying that the only reason why The Dark Knight Rises received high praise is due to the fact that critics were forced to gave movie a good review, then I can use same logic and say that Disney pays critics to trash DC or Fox X-Men films. The Dark Knight Rises is still the best individual superhero threequel, like it or not. Better than Iron Turd 3, for sure.

Still the best CBM hands down.

Some minds are like concrete. Thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.
