Movie Thoughts on Superman V Batman: Dawn of Justice and Captain America: Civil War

The movie Superman v Batman: Dawn of Justice was released not long before the release date of the equally anticipated movie Captain America: Civil War. Movie theaters were filled with queues for many days. The anticipation was felt greatly that everyone had to watch the movies or they would feel out of presence in the social world. We are talking about the social world of youngsters who love popular trends. Through this survey we wanted to know how these two movies were thought of by our involved respondents.

Our involved respondents were 1522 people from mostly the age range of 20-25 years old. We fairly asked as our first questions if they had seen one of or both movies. Then we asked how many times the movies had been watched individually. Most of the respondents have only seen the movies once.

Although the story from one movie to another is incomparably different, both movies generally talk about superheroes fighting against other superheroes over some principal differences. Therefore we asked the respondents which movie they thought was the most interesting. 66.87% of the votes went to Captain America: Civil War as opposed to Superman v Batman: Dawn of Justice with 33.13% of total votes.

Both of the movies are originally inspired by their comics. We asked the respondents which comic of Marvel and DC they happen to read. 24.75% of the respondents said they only read Marvel. 13.37% only read DC. 22.55% read both Marvel and DC. Meanwhile 39.32% admitted to not read either comic.

Between Marvel and DC, we asked the respondents about their preference towards which one. Most of the votes (68.75%) went for Marvel. 30.36% went for DC.

Since the movies’ story is comics-inspired, it was important for us to ask the respondents how close the story of the movie was to that in the comic. 56.91% claimed that Captain America: Civil War has the closest story to the original story in the comic. 43.09% claimed the same for Superman v Batman: Dawn of Justice. That means Captain America: Civil War delivered a closer story to that of the comic that the movie in opposition.

One lacking detail in the movie Captain America: Civil War is a fact that the character did not die from being killed. That is apparently a different fact offered in the original story in the comic where the character was killed. How did the involved respondents react or respond to that? Apparently 71.88% of the respondents felt no disappointment. And only 28.13% actually felt disappointed and thought the story either in the comic and the movie should have been the same.

Both of the movies were filled with CGI or animation without a doubt. We therefore asked which movie to favor based on the quality of the CGI. 66.27% of the respondents thought Captain America: Civil War offered better CGI or animation than Superman v Batman: Dawn of Justice (33.73%).

We are moving on to the question: which top 3 characters are the favorites for the involved respondents? The most favorite goes to Captain America / Steve Rogers (27.15%) for the character or personality. The number two most favorite character goes to Iron Man / Tony Stark (21.96%) for the (superhero) costume. Lastly, the number three most favorite character goes to Batman / Bruce Wayne (14.37%) for the character or personality.

The number one most suitable character played by the actor or actress in either movie goes to Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man (27.94%). And, as for the opposite (most unsuitable character played by the actor or actress) goes to Tom Holland as Spider-Man (22.75%).

To end this article, we asked the respondents which sequel or next movie is the most anticipated. Most votes go to Avenger: Infinity War which is the next movie of Captain America: Civil War.
