Romance films are utterly awful.
Romantic comedies are even worse.
That's fair.
That was just the minimum of the 3 movies. I like ZSJL and Man of Steel higher than this, but BvS, while I liked it a lot, was definitely the weakest of the 3 movies.
I just feel like most people would say they're only better than about 3 MCU movies, which I vehemently disagree with.
I don't disagree that they were worth watching. I liked all three to a point. I liked the take on Superman on MoS. And outside of the terrible casting of Lex in BvS which almost brought down the movie, the rest of it, especially the interactions of the Three was well done. JL was problematic, but we have learned why. The Snyder Cut was much better. A bit bloated, but a good film.
I don't know where I would put them compared to the MCU, but they aren't bad.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
"We are Shakespeare. We are Michelangelo. We are Tchaikovsky. We are Turing. We are Mercury. We are Wilde. We are Lincoln, Lorca, Leonardo da Vinci. We are Alexander the Great. We are Fredrick the Great. We are Rustin. We are Addams. We are Marsha! Marsha Marsha Marsha! We so generous, we DeGeneres. We are Ziggy Stardust hooked to the silver screen. Controversially we are Malcolm X. We are Plato. We are Aristotle. We are RuPaul, god dammit! And yes, we are Woolf."
Many of them? No, but you do make a good point in clarifying that the classic films are probably leaps and bounds ahead of the more recent stuff in those categories.
Oh god, categorically. I don't know what happened to romantic comedies and romance films. Back in the day (pre-80s) romantic comedies and romance films were made by the very best filmmakers. But 90s onwards it's really finding a needle in a haystack. That, I do agree with. Nowhere days (god I sound like a grumpy old man) any romantic comedy that is just good, seems like a work of art, because it rarely happens. I don't know why the genre went from the bread-and-butter of great filmmakers to a forgettable stepping stone to a better genre.

Actors lip syncing to someone else singing is just bad. There are so many actors who are good singers that this is not a issue. Just look at Garfield in Tick, Tick Boom, or Jackman in Les Miz.
