Avengers had a great script and characterization. I thought Joss Whedon did a brilliant job with how these big superheroes interacted with each other, but the story wasn't as great, it all got jumbled up in the second half of the movie.

Guardians was really funny and also had a good script, but the story was terrible. I don't understand why it wasn't penalized for having a shitty cheesy villain, and a shitty conclusion. It didn't have much other than comedy.

I feel the same way about the rest of them. In fact I'm getting real tired of the lack of consistency in all these Marvel/DC movies. Most of the movie is just building up the "origin" story, a bunch of cameos are thrown in with new characters from the universe, and everybody loses their shit, except nothing really happens after that.

This was the case with Batman vs Superman too. The first half was expertly done, I was so impressed. Then everything built up in the story was just dismissed the second half.

They're all set ups for a bigger Avengers/Justice league type movie, which as we saw from Avengers, ends up having too many characters to give attention to. Nothing eventful really happens.

which is hilarious, because the list of comic movies that are much worse is actually ridiculously long

Those idiots never saw real steel then. Batman vs superman was awesome sure it wqs slow at first but it was awesome to me.
