IM3 VS Man of Steel Poll

[Skywalker(OG)Kush]

What superhero movie did you enjoy more Ironman 3 or Man of Steel? IM3 was well received by critics, whereas man of steel is hovering around the 50% mark. I completely disagree with critics on this one and feel the scores should be reversed for the respective movies. Anyhow I am curious which movie fellow freaks and movie aficionado's preferred.

Metacritic gives MOS a 55 rating, and IM3 a 62, so based on that they aren't so far apart from one another.

 

[Skywalker(OG)Kush]

Even with the metacritic scores being close i still think they are reversed. Also its RT that has the huge discrepency, they both got an A to A- cinema mark score. Anyhow vote away.

 

[Boba Ben]

I like Man of Steel a lot more than Iron Man 3 and I've never been a huge Superman fan.

 

[karamazov80]

Rottentomatoes' score is kind of useless to me. I used to pay attention to it, but if you are simply lumping reviews into good vs. bad then the percentages don't tell me much. My guess is that a lot of reviewers were kind of on the fence for both of these, and for Supermen a few more just fell on the side saying they disliked it more than they liked it.

I can't vote as I won't be able to see Superman for probably another week or two.

Man of Iron

I really liked IM3 but MoS entertained me more.

 

[RyanSD]

MoS was pretty good, but IM3 I thought was a better movie, and more enjoyable.

 

[IrishJedi]

I honestly think I like Superman Returns more than Iron Drone.

Iron Drone is better than Superman III & IV, though.

 

[CelticPredator]

I'll take the character driven film that's Iron Man 3 over Man of Steel.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

They're different kinds of films.

I say if you must compare then compare Iron Man 3 to other Iron Man movies and MOS to other Superman movies.

 

[karamazov80]

If you restrict comparisons to that degree it seems like you could almost never make give any movie a meaningful evaluation score.

I guess, the constant comparisons have just become tedious

Both were huge letdowns IMO.

 

[CelticPredator]

They have. Believe me. They have.

When can we do This is The End vs. Man of Steel? (TITE actually has more character development and heart..)

 

[Niltusk]

Hate to say, but I agree with Nova. People are just throwing out anything to make a poll these days. Both are superhero movies, but one borderlines on being a spy/thriller and the other flirts with being more space opera than superhero.

That being said, my vote goes to MoS. This movie made itself a Superman movie using all the familiar mechanics without using them in a familiar way.
IM3 was a very smart movie and I love that they decided to go a new direction even if it wasn't one I was enamored with, but MoS is a juggernaut imo and I'll probably watch it as much on BR as IM1, Avengers, and the Nolan Bat flicks. Yep!

 

[jstep13]

which movie did I hate less? I guess IM 3

 

[OSCORP]

Both were ho hum to me, but MOS.

 

[Skywalker(OG)Kush]

They have. Believe me. They have.

Well for starters both films in the poll are comic book movies, and are classified in the same genre. Comparing a pure comedy to an action movie like MoS or IM3 makes absolutely no sense. The end vs hangover 3 makes a hell of a lot more sense. Anyhow do u typically compare movies from different genres against one another?

Man of Steel Disappointed me. However I hated IM3.

MoS wins.
