X2 was an intellectual comic book drama, with more than a deep plot to spare. the movie is basically a fictional retell of what Hitler tried to do with Jews. Its a story that can be told without CGI.
What is Captain Marvel about again? Even the hard core MCU fans said the movie was a disposable product advertisement for Endgame.

I will not be giving any external or internal commentary of Black Panther anymore because the lead actor just passed away.
They are Disney movies diluted because Disney is well known for dumbing down marvel movies. Its not a coincidence that Marvel Netflix and MCU movies are not the same when they should be or when DOFP was put on Disney PLUS, A lot of Disney users were flabbergasted that it was a marvel film because they could see how different it was from the MCU.Also you’ll have to explain what you mean when you say the Disney movies are diluted.
lol, RT is not the criteria for anything. Can you name me any well known accomplished writer director that has said so? RT is doing more harm to marvel than it is helping.
It was a good laugh when Disney tried to use rt to sell their spiderman and star wars as the GOAT to even the soft core star wars and spiderman fans. Wasn't a pretty reaction. They will have worst luck with X-fans.
I will wait for Feige to top the ground breaking opening scene of xmen 1 as I am waiting to become a vampire since I know it could take a while forever.

- Thanos is a much smarter villain than most and his rationale is more well thought out than most as well.
- yes I was referring to starlord
- vision, scarlet Witch, Hulk, Thor, gamers
- your point on sentinels is good but if trying to save half the universe isn’t high stakes then we may be at an impasse.
- lots of cgi battles yes, but they managed to accomplish so much more. And we will never agree to n DOFP.
- Per my comments above, there’s plenty of plot. You saying there’s no plot is analogous and preposterous to me saying that Logan is all about Logan and Xavier go on a road trip and in the end, Logan dies.

- lazy answer on black panther
- I agree. People are surprised about DOFP because it’s not of the quality of any of the mcu movies.
- RT at least takes the opinions of a large number of people. All you’ve given us is your opinion.
- the opening scene of X-Men was good. I hardly see it as groundbreaking or oscarworthy though.

Okay in the MCU. I rather stick to more complex human villains like Joker or Magneto.
He seems to be more annoying to the fans. I rather go with Professor Charles Xavier. there is more human themed commentary to why he is flawed.yes I was referring to starlord
o....kay?vision, scarlet Witch, Hulk, Thor, gamers
Half the universe? In DOFP the entire world was in shamble not half the world.Not one single mutant or human could go back to normalcy. I seem to recall Iron Man, Hulk and even thor had normal lives with half of the universe gone. Those are lower stakes.- your point on sentinels is good but if trying to save half the universe isn’t high stakes then we may be at an impasse.
DOFP, X2, TDK did not needs to use lots of CGI to accomplish moslty everything. big CGI comic movies mostly suck and that is what Feige is good at.
lots of cgi battles yes, but they managed to accomplish so much more. And we will never agree to n DOFP.
Logan is a character study film of 3 people. its drama. I liked the road trip of Logan because it was like Green Book. Characters get to bond more. If I believe Nolan was inspired by X-Men 1 to make batman begins, I don't believe Feige was inspired by Logan to do endgame even though he said so.- Per my comments above, there’s plenty of plot. You saying there’s no plot is analogous and preposterous to me saying that Logan is all about Logan and Xavier go on a road trip and in the end, Logan dies.

Rotten Tomatoes isn't really objective criteria how it is used most of the times. That said RT does tell you if a lot of critics liked a movie or dislike a movie and the same with fans. Anything more than that becomes gray as hell. RT for example can't easily show that 5 critics who like Joker liked as +A, 5 critics didn't like it all. While 8 critics could like avengers as B+ movie and 2 didn't like it at all. Joker would come out in 50%, While Avengers would 90% .The point of RT isn't grade movie on "quality" but more "watchablity". RT tells you how likely you are to like a movie.
I don't use Rotten Tomatoes tell people that a movie is better, I use RT to tell that MORE people like a movie, and I follow it up with Box office to reinforce again MORE people like the movie. So when someone say clown stuff like X-man fans won't like the MCU i can point out MORE people like the MCU and don't share their silly opinion. If MORE people like Fox movies it would have made MORE money. RT and Metacritc are aggregates of a general opinion and numbers are quick way to visually show the opinion. Metacritc unlike RT has middle grade in the system (and covert reviews everything to a numerical grade) RT system those usually end up as positive ranking (hence Marvel high scores). So MCU films are lower on Metacritic and guess what on Metacritic
Metacritic Scores
Black Panther 88
Dark Knight 84
Spiderman 2 83
Superman II 83
Superman 80
Iron Man 79
Endgame 78
Logan 77
Wonder Woman 76
CA Civil War 75
DoFP 75
Spiderman 73
Spider Homecoming 73
Winter Solider 70
Avengers 69
Far from Home 69
Infinity Wars 68
X2 68
Joker 59
Fan4stic 27
Catwoman 27
I didn't put everything up but enough to prove a general point, I know what is coming already and here is the answer why should we care about the opinion of ONE person over the opinion hundreds of critics and Thousands of fans . We don't care about your anti Marvel Bias your one opinion is clear. Reality as reflective above shows a different picture than what some people try to paint. Do I total agree with what is there? No. But objectively shows from a good sample size of people don't hold the X-men movies in high regard. Objectively shows they are some MCU movies that people think are very good.

Joker Proves Rotten Tomatoes is Biased Toward Mediocre Movies

Even Rotten Tomatoes admits that movie-review aggregation is biased and broken. Is anyone ready to fix it?

There's a problem with Rotten Tomatoes – here's what it is. The reviews site doesn't work like you think it does.

One film against another film, Who is it used by as the objective criteria that a movie is better than the other. can you be more specific. We will see if Thor 3 93% or Far From Home 90% will be remembered in 10 years, even the 90s Blade movies are getting more love these days than the recent comic movies and those Blades movies are 50% RT. .
Funny in thought. Most MCU fans have said Winter Solider is the best MCU film objectively, there are more well written pages by critics saying winter solider is the best film even after Endgame, Iron Man 1, Thor 3 and FFH or Black Panther. I have googled it. A lot of X-men and DC fans I know have also said winter solider is the MCU best film.
My opinion may be nothing to you but Do you remember the objective opinions of industry art people by the many with more legitimacy to judging movies better than 300 critics on RT , all saying MCU is mostly not a good thing. Their opinions mattered more than mine, yours or RT critics. It was a top 3 news of 2019 in films . They all ended up having more weight than 300 critics on RT, MCU's president Bob Iger tried to meet with one of them to try and severe the heavy artful critical bleeding of MCU films that happened in late 2019. The worst of it was when people started using Joker RT 68% to make the case that not all comic film are like MCU..
Nope, though see 8 pages back on black panther.
They were surprised to see a marvel movie with more interesting content that the usual Disney fluff.- I agree. People are surprised about DOFP because it’s not of the quality of any of the mcu movies.
please name anyone with good film legitimacy that has ever told us, a movie that looks of video game proportions with shallow bland color cinematography (MCU) is better than another movie with practical effects and a grounded cinematography.
Please can you name me anyone in film that has said RT is how you can tell one movie is better than the other.- RT at least takes the opinions of a large number of people. All you’ve given us is your opinion.
It was, for a comic book. No opening scene from Feige movies has ever changed the way people look at comic movies and I doubt it will happen with his own X-Men movies.- the opening scene of X-Men was good. I hardly see it as groundbreaking or oscarworthy though.

X2 is the better film, but I hans't talking about quality I was talking about acclaim. CM not only got higher financial acclaim it is incredibly relevant commentary today and is highly acclaimed by modern audience and critics. It's not X2 had a "deep" plot, the quality came from how it was made and the characters being written and performed. X2 is nearly 20 years old and its impact on pop culture has dwindled significantly from the space the franchise went. Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix define the current Fox 'verse than X2 does right now.
It was about women being able to do whatever they want, and that they shouldn't be oppressed by men or authorities. Carol's defining feature is saying f- you to people trying to control her for their own agenda. Hardcore MCU films love that movie.What is Captain Marvel about again? Even the hard core MCU fans said the movie was a disposable product advertisement for Endgame.
LOL,One of biggest movie lessons of the 2010s was Star Wars fans using Logan to explain everything wrong with Last Jedi though Last Jedi had better RT and Metatcritic than Logan.
When they tell me Endgame has a 94% RT and I see the expected big cgi scene TO ''SAVE THE WORLD'', . I tell them up upgrade to this movie to see how you can write a better 3rd act with higher stakes without using the expected big cgi battle that has so ruined the reputation of comic movies in the 2010s as nothing more than mindless drivel. I have done more good for screen writers than RT ever did.
Its not going to be good thing when a Kevin Feige fluffy comedy xmen movie very dependent more on CGI will try and be called the best xmen film of all time because the score is a 96%. Its so far-fetched to sound like a real thing considering every xmen movie was judged for the opposite.
