So, I generally like superhero movies. I really liked Logan, I really liked the Dark Knight Trilogy, I liked V for Vendetta, I liked some X-Men movies, etc...
Naturally, I would really like to enjoy the enormous amount of movies made as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Especially due to the absolutely mad critical reception and fan reception they receive...
However, when I watch the movies, I can't help but feel that I'm watching children's movies. There is basically no story and there is very limited wisdom behind the story there is. This, of course, wouldn't be a problem if I found the movie entertaining in other ways. For example, if I liked the action. But the action is extremely censored and nonbrutal, I feel like watching one of those old Ninja Turtle cartoons in which they jump toward their enemies, swords raised, only to kick the enemy so it doesn't become too brutal with lost limbs... What's more, I like a good fantasy fight, I don't mind the wild fights in Matrix, the wars in Lord of the Rings, the duels in Star Wars, etc... But this all just seems too chaotic. Big green guy jumping around, guy growing and shrinking, guy with wings, guy with arrows, blue latex guy with a shield, flying robot armor guy, etc... It's so chaotic that it feels damn near insulting to me. As if to make kids think "wooow, all of the superheroes are going wild at once!!" (by wild, they basically mean "as violent as a cartoon")...
What's more, the jokes are bad and the dialogue is... well... non-interesting? The villains are boring, there is very limited character development and it feels like one big insult to the viewers.
Now, I do not know of any educated or mature people (except one) who enjoy these movies, but they're rated extremely high by both critics and fans, so yeah... What's your take on this?
BTW; looking forward to Venom, R-rated is the way to go.
