Batman Vs Superman, Deadpool or Star Wars, which would you see

I'd love to hear from everyone, but even more so if you've seen all 3.

If you could go see one of these 3 and only one, which would you see?

Star Wars. Batman v Superman looked terrible, Deadpool looked corny as hell. Plus I don't like comic book movies.

Bat v S was terrible. Absolutely.

Haven't seen D, reviews are good.

Star Wars was okay but still a must see just, because.

Not to mention, at this point SW is just barely hanging on in the theaters.

Deadpool was excellent and so many gems you miss the first time, worth seeing a second time. Star Wars was so-so. Have only seen bad reviews of B vs S.

"Safety Last" or "Girl Shy" starring Harold Lloyd, but hey, I'm a bit behind the times.

I went to Deadpool with my son and really enjoyed it for what it is - a fun, escapist movie that's a new take on an old theme.

Disney sucked what life was left out of the Star Wars franchise and there wasn't much left to start with. I would rather have root canal surgery than watch a new SW movie. I like the actors and characters in Batman v Superman but the premise isn't enough to support a whole movie and even the trailers looked stupid trying to fill the time after Superman and Batman had their initial tiff. aafter the setup, what more is ther?

So for me, yes to Deadpool and I was pleasantly surprised. No to the other two, even if they're shown on free basic cable some night when I'm bored and don't have anything else to do.

I'd pick Dead Pool over Star Wars without question. SW just didn't do it for me anymore. I had high hopes for Batman v Superman, even though it's no contest without cheating. I heard Christopher Reeve actually made a Superman V movie, but it was never released. There was krytonite in every scene.

I've seen all three... All entertaining in their own way but non of them are Shakespeare.

Star wars is the best of the three.

Do we expect too much from a movie? If I can escape reality for two hours then that's good enough for me.

comic book heroes being played against each other or having a dark side jumped the shark a LOOONG time ago.

superman has NEVER been well done. lameness incarnate.

that leaves the remake of Star Wars IV.

Deadpool was a real hoot.

SW sucked--a lame re-hash of Ep IV lacking any sympathetic characters.

Going to see Bats vs. Supes this weekend, but with low expectations.

Have you seen Man Of Steel? If you enjoyed that you should enjoy Batman vs Superman.

Man Of Steel was so-so. I like Zack Snyder's visual style and camera work. But MoS lost me at the "giant mechanical spider" scene. I remember reading about some dumbass Hollywood producer who makes it his goal to put a giant mechanical spider in every movie. Ever since, they've pissed me off.

I saw Star Wars today. I thought it was good. It may not change the face of cinema, but that's getting hard to do these days anyway. It was entertaining, and had some cool nostalgic moments.

I had planned to see 2 movies back to back, but since SW was 2.5 hours, I guess I'd just had enough of sitting in the theater so I stopped there so I didn't end up seeing Batman vs Superman.

I didn't plan to see Deadpool because the missus said that she'd be interested in seeing it, so I think we'll go in a couple of weeks, because I do want to see it. I like the actor in it, he's pretty good at comedic roles.

I'd rank Deadpool as the most entertaining of the three.

The latest Star Wars installment was too similar to previous films. Basically the empire has this really powerful weapon and a bunch of plucky rebels have to destroy it. Again.

I'll see SvB but mostly just because there's nothing else out I want to see. If I miss it and wind up waiting for video, it will be no biggie.
