      It's been overkill for a long time. People keep buying tickets, though. I've never liked the genre, so I will never understand it.

      It's hard to argue with the "modern western" debate. They are just so damn many of these movies. My only hope is that like westerns, people will eventually tire of them (I actually like westerns).

      My fingers are crossed that this new Batman/Superman mashup is terrible. A flop here could be a tipping point.

        I am just so thankful they are releasing an Ant-Man movie he is such a relevant super hero. I am astonished it has taken this long.  2015 can't get here soon enough.

                Huge DC fan as I am I cannot even be too excited for the new Justice League movie after finding that it is all based around "The New 52". Never has a company persisted with such an awful idea for so long, and in so many ways.

                  At their worst, superhero films have a pretty rigid structure, which involves the hero (or heroine) figuring out what's going on, before building up to fisticuffs in a famous location to a rousing soundtrack. In a lot of cases, the villain is a bigger or stronger version of the hero, particularly the first few Marvel flicks.

                  Iron Man and the Guardians of the Galaxy really worked because their characters were fun. But the Winter Soldier took a slightly different track, with institutional corruption being its theme.

                  Marvel has announced nine films, plus there's Avengers and Ant Man due next year. So that's about two billion dollars worth of investment, and when there's a lot of money at stake people become increasingly conservative. I can't see them pulling a divisive twist, like the Mandarin in Iron Man 3, in future. Hopefully they'll prove me wrong.

                  Of the upcoming slate of both DC and Marvel films, I think that Captain America: Civil War (what's with the long titles?) could be the most interesting, particularly if they play it out against the background of Wikileaks or Snowden. I wonder how it'll compare to Batman vs Superman, as both are pitting their marquee stars against each other.

                  Doctor Strange could go either way. I've not read a lot of his stories, but the early stuff is mad psychedelia, whereas the newer ones don't seem to get it. Marvel should hire China Mieville to write the script, and force feed
                  the cast and crew industrial quantities of LSD. 😉

                  And Guardians 2 should be a lot of fun…

                      I watched Winter Soldier on the flight back from Japan-via Korea to Vancouver . took me almost 11 hours . No joke , had to look after my two kids , one is still a baby so you can imagine the fun that was  .

                      PP  with you on the sheer volume of films and TV shows being blasted out . I usually watch a few when I can .

                      If I reckon it's worth it to watch on the big screen , then I will.

                      Mirthing my way through life.

                        Likewise. I meant to say that it worked because it wasn't quite a typical Marvel plotline. Be interesting to see how it feeds into the next Captain America film.

                          Marvel has by far the most iconic superhero forget Batman & Superman.  Marvel has Bird-Brain!!!

                                    Reynolds as Deadpool, in case you've been living under a rock for the last few months.

                                    i usually hate on all comic movies because they never get it right
                                    but i always loved deadpool, and this looks good
                                    and nothing like the last time we seen him…....

                                    don't you know there ain't no devil? only god when he's drunk!
