The movie deserved the rating, I don't think Disney had anything to do with the rating.
The previews before the Dark Knight were excellent as well.. Watchmen and The Spirit = good times ahead. |

DC now looks like geniuses when it comes to making movies. It's pretty weird. Marvel has been coming out with tons of movies this decade, but DC certainly has the highest quality one. Add on The Spirit and Watchmen, two DC comics properties, and then they all of a sudden look very good. Even DC's biggest bust this decade, Superman Returns, wasn't as bad as Elektra, Daredevil, or Hulk.

Marvel has been very successful in their movies, I don't think you can honestly say DC has done a better job. Particularly the Spiderman and X Men series have been very good. And Iron Man was a big hit.

I fear for the Watchman movie. It is directed by the same guy that did "300" and while it was fun it wasn't...........earth shattering. Watchmen is a fave comic of mine. Constantine disappointed me, again, fave comic. SinCity was a-[censored]ing-mazing. The Xmen, another fave, were good but as usual, Hollywood went to far with sequels. I didn't bother to watch Hulk, Electra, Daredevil, Ironman, etc. Not my kind of characters mostly. |

Ironman's worth picking up. Downey Jr alone makes it worthwhile.
Oh and speaking of the Watchmen:
