Subject: The Avengers or The Dark Knight Rises - Which is the better movie?

"Right now it is raining methane on Titan. The planet Uranus is, hilariously, orbiting the sun sideways while Venus spins backwards. We sit here on a planet marked with collisions, rocked by earthquakes, shaken by storms. A planet doomed to be fried in radiation as its magnetic fields collapse, until the sun grows and leaves nothing of the earth but dust. Here we sit, glasses on our noses, inhalers in our pockets, braces on our teeth, and we say "Behold the perfect ORDER of it all!""

Both great Superhero movies (Yes Batman counts as a superhero) and both came out in 2012.

But which is better?

Which was the one Heath Ledger killed himself in? (*Let me rephrase that, mysteriously died after filming?)

There's a “U” and “I” in union but just an “I” in my beliefs

TDKR. In terms of everything.

Dark Knight Rises by far. It has its problems, but the Avengers was so overrated that it's almost funny. Its only strength was special effects.

They were both fantastic in different ways. IMO they aren't really comparable either.

  • 12.21.2012 3:36 PM PDT

I really enjoyed both, but The Dark Knight Rises was better in my opinion.

The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight is the better movie.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.

TDKR was a serious film with an intriguing plot.

Avengers was fun family flick that made prominent and awesome characters relevant.

I enjoyed TDKR more.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Which was the better movie? Tough call really.

In terms of cohesiveness the Avengers takes it hands down. TDKR first hour tried to juggle so many characters and set up so much that it was just straight exposition. It had one character who was completely plot irrelevant and another who was just barely necessary, and their inclusion only detracts from other characters. On the other hand Avengers fluently introduced the characters needed and got things going right away.

Cinematography goes to Dark Knight, as does action.

Writing is hard to say. The problem with Joss Whedon writing is the same as with Woody Allen writing, eventually everyone just sounds like the writer. He tries to make every character snappy and witty, when only some should be like Stark. But then TDKR has downright bad writing moments, like the old man explaining to Bruce he needs to make the climb sans rope, Gary Oldman's verbalized reaction to finding out Batman is Bruce, and of course showing Bruce at the end.

Effects are TDKR easily.

Hard to say. Avengers is simpler, and so it has less significant problems. TDKR is more complex, and so it has bigger problems.

Dark Knight Rises. The Avengers was a really bad movie. Unless you watched Avengers for the same reason you watch Michael Bay Transformers movies. Than it was a good movie.

Online Gaming's pretty much like a zombie movie. There are a lot of mindless idiots roaming around but you find some survivors on the way.

Avengers was fun, but that's about all there was to it. It was also one of the most overrated movies I have ever come across.

TDKR for over all quality and depth.

Its not even hate. It's just the realization that the avengers is a mediocre movie that people like because of explosions. Absolutely no depth to it. It truly is entry level cinema.

My name: rufemee comes from the Elite Heritic leader: Sesa Refumee
But I spelt the name wrong

Probably the Avengers,though this might be due to the fact that my hopoes were very high for the Dark Knight Rises.
