I don't.
Now, let's see how many "other" choices end up in the Poll. 🙄 |

I like the good ones.
 It's not the subject, it's the execution. |

Yes but sadly very few follow the timeline established in the comic books.
So many changes to origins. |

The best, by the way, is The Incredibles. Hands down. Anybody who claims they don't like that is either just being contrary to be contrary, or has issues I can't comprehend. |

Only those I recall from my childhood, without the nostalgia element I find them a bit silly. That and a bit of respect for originals, I find Taika Waititi's handling of them sickening, and now won't watch any directed by him. |

The only really good one has been the one that made fun of the genre, "Mystery Men." Like "Galaxy Quest," both an homage and a pastiche. |

Not really, apart from Superman and Batman. |

About as much as I like "science fiction movies" or "war movies" or "Gokudō movies". Parzival nailed it. |

Not any more. I did some early on but they got so routine plot wise IMHO

I did, but early on I grasped a vital consideration that I knew would be their inevitable downfall. I chose to call it the rule of "7." For a story to "work" there had to be a compelling Cadre of core players. 6 or 7 plus 1 villain worked. Below that needed a very compelling single core character. Above that the screen time diluted the characters to walk on. Of course there are "inscrutable" variables. Neither Josstice League nor Justice League really work for different reasons. |
