Jeff Wells noticed and mentioned the TV movie quality of The Avengers multiple times.

Just compare the opening action sequences of TDKR and Avengers. It's not even close in that TDKR's is many times more cinematic than the laughable chase scene that opens The Avengers. The many chase scenes in TDKR are way more thrilling because of how they're filmed, constructed, and most importantly, directed because Nolan is so much more of a true filmmaker than TV journeyman Whedon whose claim to fame is writing cute dialogue that people somehow find funny.

Rank this summer's superhero films Mr. Smitherz Jul 29, 11:59

They are all very close to each other... LanceStorm22 Jul 29, 12:12

Didn't see Spider-Man so I'd say TDKR > Avengers. darknightz Jul 29, 12:12

I'm with you on The Avengers-related films. Found the lead-up films better than the culmination. {nm} Mr. Smitherz Jul 29, 12:14

I'll rank Avengers and Dark Knight Rises equally in spite of being different from each other. Spider-Man was uninvolving IMO. Jay_Beezy Jul 29, 12:27

The only reason Mr. Smitherz Jul 29, 13:53

The Avengers is a great popcorn movie. Put mind in neutral and enjoy. TDKR is a wonderful motion picture full of drama and character study. Tanker Jul 29, 14:06

And the third is just an old meal from whereever reheated in a microwave. {nm} Jay_Beezy Jul 30, 09:55

If you wanna talk about TV movie quality, one could easily say TASM was Spider-Man for the Lifetime channel. {nm} Jay_Beezy Jul 29, 15:53

I haven't seen "The Avengers." SPID4 is well-enough done, but unambitious; BATM3 seemed to me a mixed blessing... second gary Jul 29, 12:52

Avengers, Spider-Man, TDKR Power87 Jul 29, 14:41

Avengers, Spider-Man, The Dark Knight Returns Budd Jul 29, 15:13

Dark Knight Rises {nm} b4bad Jul 29, 16:22

TDKR,Avengers, did not like the TASM (Spidey has always been my all time fav comic character), Ghostrider sucked less than the last one, b4bad Jul 29, 16:26

The Amazing Spider-man is a counter example to both The Dark Knight Rises and to The Avengers. medv4380 Jul 29, 17:26

I'm not as down on TASM as you are, but you pretty much nailed it on Avengers and TDK/TDKR. {nm} Tanker Jul 29, 17:38

As I said, I have mixed feelings about BATM3; but there is real and credible hostility for the movie which I don't... second gary Jul 29, 18:15

I'd say most of the hostility is miss guided. Governed, in part, by a "occupy" bias, and a lack of knowledge about A Tale of Two Cities medv4380 Jul 29, 19:13

I have not read "A Tale of Two Cities." I read recently a great French Revolution novel, "A Place of Greater Safety" by Hilary Mantel... second gary Jul 29, 19:28

Bane Could have had improvements, but spoilers medv4380 Jul 29, 20:52
