Which Movie Does Kevin Smith Prefer: "The Avengers" Or "The Dark Knight Rises"?
Of course, the massive comic fan in Smith couldn't help but get into the fray with "The Avengers" vs. "The Dark Knight Rises" debate, and for him, Joss Whedon's movie came out on top.
"'The Dark Knight Rises' I have a weird relationship with – it's like a chemical romance with a toxic ex-girlfriend where I love her to death but there are some things about her that are just fucking wrong. 'The Avengers' I loved so more than I thought I would. I've written for Marvel but I was never an Avengers guy. I'm more DC," Smith elaborated. "But I've become obsessed with Favreau's 'Iron Man' movie because I think it's very nearly a perfect film. So when I saw Favreau wasn't doing it I thought, Well what do I care? The first time I saw it was in Australia and it opened a week before it opened here and we were traveling for the 'Jay and Silent Bob Go Down Under' tour and we had just done a show and we went to a midnight show. And the first time I saw it I could not get past the Loki poke-y stick in the beginning. Because Loki sticks something in somebody's chest and it's like 'WAAMP, you're a bad guy.' What the fuck? Is this the level of discourse we're going to have? But you can't deny that flick."

I loved Loki tho. :) And the character development.
TDKR was such a letdown. First of all, there was far too much screentime wasted on JGL's character, and secondly, it was the biggest example of how embarrassed Nolan is that he was making a film about Batman. Bruce, the titular character, was literally crippled or shoved away in a dark cave for about 68% of the movie. It was so annoying and while I enjoyed Tom Hardy's Bane, a Batman film should be about fucking BATMAN.
How the fuck does the spoiler tag work?!

Thank you very much : )
fuck yes to this. what a flop villain.
That said, The Avengers was a really, really good movie period.
Certain parts of the movie resonated with me (the story of the prison, lawlessness in Gotham after the criminals took over), but overall the movie was unfocused and a bit lazy.
but I do adore this one (its my favorite batman film)

so perfect I can't even , I remember my sis made a costume like Catwoman lol
I will watch this shit all day every day though. Keaton was a great Batman and Michelle was flawless at Catwoman.
I don't even put this in the same category as nolan's batman movies.
although I like the nolan films better than the ones besides BR
Can't wait to have a proper villian in the Avengers 2
I really dislike Nolan's movies and his Batman trilogy is really not my kind of stuff. I do like his villains though, Hardy was flawless as Bane, it gave me the whole movie with one single look.
