Ya...that's not funny. Since when was quantity better then quality? (granted I thought the new Superman was JUST as bad as the old ones)

Really? I liked the updated action, the older movies are so use to giving us long shots, because up close they'd look horrible. I thought the plane sequence was worth admission, or in my case the price of the DVD.
The plane sequence was great. Unfortunately the movie would've been better if they'd just stopped it right afterwards.

Now, that's comedy. Maybe it's just because I loathe Superman. What a hoser.
Spider-Man: Ouch. Are you okay?
Superman: I just miss the Regan years, that's all.
... LOL. 
"Member the 70's and 80's? Good times..."
LMAO!!!
Well ya the airplane sequence was good...but that's it.
Anyway, the Spiderman movies are terrible and bragging about releasing a new movie every other month is a stupid thing to brag about. I believe the last half-way decent Marvel movie was X-Men 2...or Spiderman 2...wich one came out last?
Basicly out of 8 movies in the past 8 years Marvel has had 3 good ones. Less then 50%. Out of the 2 in the last 8 years that DC has put out 1 of them was good, 50%. I would say DC has a better success rate. The fact that they take so long to make movies is just a sign that they are cautious about where they put their money, unlike Marvel who throws money at everything in hopes some of it flies back to them.
And I swear to god if anyone says Spiderman 3 was good I will KNIFE you in the toe!

Well it did just make the 1st day/weekend box records. 
Good or not that's gotta count for something.
No...it doesn't...it's a widely hyped blockbuster film, of course it's gonna hit records and the like. Millions of films do that when no one has seen them yet. It's just how blockbuster films work, they don't care if their good as long as they make back enough money to pay for the film and all that jazz in the first week it's all good.

C'mon man, at the end of the day they're still just comic book movies. We're not talking Oscar-quality acting and award-winning writing... we're talking pecks and spandex. I think you're being a little too critical on the memory of Mr. Reeves.

That's still more GOOD MOVIES than the DC camp has even produced. I'd say Marvel is doing a pretty darn good job, all things considered. 
If you haven't noticed, the only DC movies that I've seen that are Blockbuster tends to be Batman, the only other movies I've known about are Superman ones, and the recent one wasn't that great of a movie....

But none of those 3 movies can compare to Batman Begins (except maybe X-Men 2 but it just can't reach the level).
I can be as critical as I want when from the simple genre of Comic Book Movies we get such great films of V For Vendetta, Batman Begins & X-Men 2.
I think not taking comic book movies seriously is almost insulting the genre. Comic Book characters have some of the most intricate and amazing stories i've ever read and have the amazing ability to present other views and ideas and still not cram it down your throat.
Edit: As I said, Superman Returns was crap cause it tried to be like the old Superman movies which were also crap.

I've always liked Marvel characters more than DC so I tend to like the movies better as well. IMHO I think the best one they did was The Punisher...but a lot of people hated that one so my opinion might not be worth much to y'all.

Meh, I didn't think Punisher was as bad as say Fantastic 4 and certainly not as bad as Spiderman 3 (i'm still trying to understand the concept behind 2 musical numbers in that movie).
But really in the end liking DC or Marvel is dependent on how you like your heroes, Scrambled or Sunny Side Up.
DC = Sunny Side Up (Their heroes are all BETTER then humans both physically and morally)
Marvel = Scrambled (Their heroes are all down to earth people with our own faults but just have powers tacked on)
I prefer my heroes to be better then me but some people prefer their heroes to be just like them, it's all a matter of opinion in that manner.
But as movies, I find Marvel tends to put out some pretty rank stuff.
@Jeffery Duke
Meanwhile...On The Internet...
You can't seriously tell me that Fantastic 4 was better than Spiderman 3. Seriously.
Seriously.
I like the scrambled and sunny side up analogy, though. That's actually a pretty good way to look at it. Just keep in mind, for every good Batman movie out there, there's a piece of shite like Batman and Robin to sour DC's good name. They had to restart the franchise for a reason, you know.

I don't see DC putting up too many barn-burners, either: Comprehensive List of DC Movies ... most of these eggs are so bad they'd give you salmonella. Where's Adam West when you need him?
*Edit: I'm mostly referring to the movies based on popular DC superheros, not the mob-tastic gem that was Road to Perdition.
LMAO! Now THAT is funny! XD Thanks for that Mar!
Now, back to the marvel v. dc discussion.
First of all, this is probably gonna' get bumped to that general comic book section or w/e, but here we go:
I, like Rox, like Marvel a lot more, probably because of the fact that they ARE down to earth, like you said, Awesome. I feel that with Superman, nothing can hurt him, except Kryptonite, but in reality, how many people are gonna' get their hands on that? I mean, lets list his powers:
Ice Breath
Super Wind Breath
Laser Eyes
XRay Vision
Flight
Super Strength
Super Invulnerability
Superjump
Super Hearing
With Marvel characters, they have about 2 powers at most, like Spiderman having Webshooting and Wall-Climbing. Wolverine has claws and fast regeneration. I feel that Marvel's characters are easier to relate to, making connections in movies greater, and creating a pleasure for the crowds.
And this is what I thought of Spiderman 3:
I saw it twice. On the same day.
Scarf_Girl�s Official Kid Brother!
Weapon. I'm only looking at the past 8 years since that's when Marvel really started churning out movies.
But yes I will say that Fantastic 4 was better then Spiderman 3. When the only redeaming quality of a film is their 3rd string villian (Venom) then there is something SERIOUSLY wrong.
BAS, I'm not a terribly big fan of Superman but his plethera of powers is one of the reasons I like DC. I like that all the heroes have large mixes of powers, several of my heroes mix and match powers with tech and other stuff.
Also i'm very sorry that you had to see Spiderman 3 twice to realize how big of a pile it was.

Not to mention he has faw more then 2 powers. Least we forget his enhanced strength and durability...oh and his spidey senses...
Edit: Oh and his enhanced agility.

I can't agree with you about Batman Begins, I found that very contrived. Which to me is what Hollywood tends to do with all comic book movies, they only see the face value, they know nothing about the back story and if they do they pick it apart and serve it to us like we're caged chickens waiting to peck a kernel.
I can hear the pitch now "yeah so we'll put in the Ninja school, only we won't call it that, and we'll throw in the fact that his company already has the batmobile and his armor waiting for him, oh and yeah let's get Dawson's girlfriend in there, cause these young kids will recognize her..."
Bale was better than I thought he'd be, but that movie was for fans willing to let a lot of details just be thrown in their lap. Look at the proposed sequel, "Heath Ledger" is going to play the Joker, somebody gag me... Yeah I know he can act and all, but he's eye candy and nothing more. I hope I'm wrong, I hope it's better than the first one...
Why is it so hard for Hollywood to understand the meaning of continuity...
