I wonder if IMDB will reconsider shutting these pages down now that everyone is flooding them with complaints?
"A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man."

Still the best CBM hands down.
Some minds are like concrete. Thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.

This "king" is now little bit cringey to watch. Formulaic story, poorly fleshed out villain, plot inconstancy, too much style over substance, bland acting, etc. The Dark Knight Rises is a better piece of filmmaking than the Avengers. Watch the scene when Bruce talks to Alfred for the last time and you'll get what I mean. Also, if you're saying that the only reason why The Dark Knight Rises received high praise is due to the fact that critics were forced to gave movie a good review, then I can use same logic and say that Disney pays critics to trash DC or Fox X-Men films. The Dark Knight Rises is still the best individual superhero threequel, like it or not. Better than Iron Turd 3, for sure.

Muscle it in to the outfield!

Then along came Civil War and snatched the title away from Avengers! Someone had to do it, glad it was kept in the family.

I thought
Batman Begins
and
Spider-Man 2
were both much better films. I'm not sure how you can judge that most people now think something is overrated.

Everything has converged perfectly, delivering what is now very much the king of the genre.
The Avengers is certainly the best overall comic adaptation film ever made and still can be considered so even three years later. Really, how could it not be? They positioned this thing with FIVE other set up films that were each remarkable in their own right. Not only does it all come together but I'm happy to say this amazing cast delivers in every way. Believe it or not, every single character featured previously in those five films gets time to really shine at one point or another in this astounding movie. Even though the set up has been epic, the result was anything but assured. It would have been easy to be overwhelmed by the task of putting all these great character together and making it click but they pulled it off perfectly. Maybe it's because the characters themselves are complex and intriguing and that they have been brought to three dimensional life by people that really care. Whatever the case, EVERYONE hits a home run here. They fleshed out perfect cohesion while remembering to include the fun and humor that have made those other five films good. If you define those films as good then you'll define Avengers as great. It's a unified step up and I didn't think that possible. What's also amazing is that I think this movie works without having seen any of those other films. Then, the fun factor will be enjoyed by those that didn't care about the other movies. The depth and amazement will come from those that have invested in to this universe. What they've done is transcend any other of this genre's films by going deeper and doing so in spectacular fashion with Oscar caliber performances.

Cool!!!!!

I want one these BAD

or at least the same paint job on my current car. Captain America appears when your car is wet! Good all year around.

As has been stated many times around here, LONG LIVE THE KING.

The best CBM bar none indeed.
There are some close contenders but Avengers is still the king.

I don't know if it is the best movie ever but it is the best CBM bar none.

I really enjoyed The Avengers, I watch it on BluRay all the time. It's a very enjoyable movie. But The Dark Knight Trilogy just does something else for me.. It moves me on a different level I guess. Hanz Zimmers score, to the wonderful acting and dark tone. I just feel fully immersed in those three films. Yet, I'm still very excited for Marvel's phase 3, with Thanos, the gauntlet and the infinity stones. I'm also excited for Batman v. Superman. I'm just an all around fan, and all these movies are nothing but fun for me. I feel bad for those who feel like they have to choose a side.. (Marvel Vs. DC). Still, I find TDK trilogy to be at the top of the mountain.

Put both of their box offices together and look at those numbers!

Well, after seeing Age of Ultron twice I have to say that Avengers still holds the title but only just barely. It's almost too close to call but a slight edge to the original over the sequel as the holder of the "best ever" title.

The time is drawing near. Does AoU take the title?

Still the champion and running to 2016.

High and perfect!

People have fallen in love with Age of Ultron because it may be the perfect sequel to what most consider the best super hero film ever made, period. That's all there is to it.

The truly smart love this film just like the sequel.

DOFP simply is too action lite to be mentioned with these other films.

Not going to bad mouth two great films like SM2 and DOFP. I own both and love both. Still, both fall shy of the adventure and drama Avengers delivered. In fact, it could be argued that X2 is the best X-Men film and not DOFP.

X-Men: DOFP and Spider-Man 2 are the best made movies of this genre. Please, stop milking Joss Whedon and Stan Lee's dcks for 5 minutes, take a look at these reviews and LEARN SOMETHING:
