To be honest, I don't think anyone counts Ghost Rider 2 as a movie full stop :lol:

I'm gonna be getting the Blu-Ray boxset of the Dark Knight trilogy for Christmas. And every year I will do trilogy time, where once a year I will sit down and watch the movies in one day

I was shocked when I read it was getting a sequel. How I don't know but somehow it did.

Now i've seen them all i can safely say DKR. Avengers is great fun, with plenty of action and humour but DKR stands out above them all. Sad to see the end of Nolan's Dark Knight, but so glad it was the right end.

Don't make me pick; it's like choosing favourite children.
The Dark Knight Rises was the perfect end to a masterful trilogy, The Avengers was a culmination of years of work and bloody hilarious too, and The Amazing Spider-Man brought my childhood hero to the screen in the way I'd always envisioned him.
So yeah, I can't pick.

Just equalised the fight between TDKR and Avengers.

The Avengers was way too fantastic to not be the best, seeing that in the cinema was an experience man.

Gave TAS a vote in the end because it really was a bloody good film (Better than the first; although sadly it won't become as iconic), and deserves more than one vote. :lol:

I have to completely disagree, TL. TAS was an alright movie, but as far as I'm concerned it doesn't even touch the original. That film is a massive staple of my childhood.

Besides, I don't think they'll ever make a Spider-Man film that was better than the second one

I have to say, I do see your point; the original Spider-Man was a classic, but after hearing people's comments and looking back at it it's hard to enjoy it like I did when I was younger. (The scene where Tobey Maguire lets out the highest pitch scream I've ever heard after being thrown on the floor by the Goblin still makes me crack up :lol: ) That's one thing I do struggle with when getting invested in anything; as soon as people point out flaws, I can't help but see them and then overthink as to whether I do actually like the thing I'm watching. (Hell, the same happened for TASM). I think at the end of the day, Raimi's Spider-Man is the movie my childhood adored and I still have fond feelings for; although TASM seems a little more 'grounded' while still incorporating comic book elements that maybe were lacking in the originals. It feels like a more grown up film (although I don't really think it's much darker than Spider-Man, that Peter vs Goblin fight was pretty brutal), which maybe I appreciate more being a teenager? I dunno, it's tricky to say. The fact that I can identify with Garfield's Peter more than I can with Tobey's may have something to do with it. (Don't get me wrong though, Tobey put in a great performance)

As for Spider-Man 2 - I'm not sure if we can compare it to TASM, seeing as it's the first in the trilogy; I think we'll have to wait for TASM 2 to see how it fares against it. (The train scene is still one of my favourite moments though, even with Tobey's jizz face)

TL:DR - The Time Lord debates the two Spider-Man films, and comes to the conclusion that Emma Stone's absolutely gorgeous no matter what.
