I agree that the Captain America trilogy is one if the best CBM trilogies out there.

I did not like the first one and this last one was not really a Captain America movie, more like another avengers, loved the winter soldier though.

The reviews say otherwise. Especially compared "objectively" to the greatest CBM trilogy "TDKT".

TDK trilogy is WAY overrated due to Ledger's unfortunate death and Nolanites blind devotion to their god. TDKR was especially bad, filled with plot holes, mistakes, bad film making and flat out stupidity.

Well, I enjoyed Christopher Nolan's trilogy, but it did get a little silly with the third entry. Regardless, it was still a strong trilogy. BUT, those Batman films just aren't something I really care to watch again. They were great but once I have seen them, I am done. That's not a criticism, but simply how I feel about them. Captain America is not as deep I suppose, but then again the friendship that Cap has with Bucky is really a core element that I very much enjoy and that drives this trilogy. I just don't really get that with The Dark Knight Trilogy. Oh well, just my two cents.

It drives the last two of the trilogy, but certainly not the First Avenger.

No, Bucky certainly didn't come to Steve's aid. He certainly didn't try to get him with a an attractive woman. He certainly didn't try to keep him safe and out of jail.
His friendship certainly wasn't the reason why Steve went into combat. His friendship wasn't enough for Steve to be devastated.
It is bad enough that you are so wrong with The Dull Knight trilogy. Why not stay there instead of going to good movie's boards and being idiomatically wrong?

Steve and Buckeys freindship is still not as big a part of the First Avenger as the last two would have you believe so I'm well within my right to say the "Steve/Bucky" friendship was not at the core of the trilogy in its entirety
It is bad enough that you are so wrong with The Dull Knight trilogy

I spelled it out perfectly for you. Typing it again won't help it sink through that Nolantard skull of yours. I'd almost have more of a chance of having Hippotard like a Kevin Costner movie.

an absurd point even if you'd demonstrated it to anyone's satisfaction but your own.
it's only very recently that sequels have had any hope of being interconnected in some way. this was for a historically straightforward and practical reason: the unpredictable nature of hollywood. there's no guarantee (and still isn't to a large degree for the vast majority of films) that you'll get a sequel. hence most movies had to be written to stand alone with the full knowledge that if you left too many plot danglers, you would never have a chance to resolve them. so up until very recently, most sequels just follow the previous movie sequentially, without relying on previous elements. but this doesn't disqualify them from being a trilogy. there's no hint AT ALL that darth vader was luke's father in a ep IV, and it's well known that mark and carrie had no idea until RotJ that they would end up brother and sister. if you read the original novel for star wars, there's no hint at all that there's something mystical about palpitine.

So why do you always name-call Spencer while he never attacks you, despite having all reasons to do so? Gosh, MCUbots are such a horrible creatures.

I agree that the Captain America trilogy has been awesome. One of the best trilogies out there. It is no secret that, for some odd reason, trilogies always stumble with their third entry, so it was nice to see a third entry be every bit as good as the previous two for a change. I was a little late to the Captain America films as I haven't really been watching any of the marvel films until recently, but I am super-glad I got on board with Cap. It's been great!

at least for superhero films, this proposition isn't so hard to defend.
first, one should put out there that the title of "best superhero" anything is very transient.
while nolan's films might be very good crime thriller movies, with the possible exception of batman begins, they're not very good superhero movies, and in many ways, they're terrible batman movies.
first of all, whether people like it or not, action plays a substantial role in these movies. anyone who's honest has to admit that at least part of the reason why comic fans (very important, not mcu fans) gravitated towards the cap movies, is the actionin TWS, cap moves the way that they always pictured batman would. watching the nolan films now is like watching captain kirk fight the gorn. furthermore, anyone who is honest has to admit that at least part of the reason why some fans declared affleck the definitive batman is because it's the first time on film that batman can actually fight. now that's a shame, considering it's the ninth feature film with batman.
the nolan films don't honor the batman character at all. there's no element of the detective, the thinker, the strategist. he can't out-think joker; he literally has to use a deus ex machina to win in TDKR (as in, lucius literally complains that the machine gives bruce too much power). it never once occurs to him that joker was lying about rachel's location. and what was his plan to stop the bombs on the ferries? he knew all along that the citizens of gotham were too kind hearted to blow each other up. and he always took miranda at her faceit never occurred to him that she was the one pulling the strings. and batman quitstwicein three movies! without these thingsthe detective, the strategist, the thinker, the indomitable willthere's no reason for the justice league to follow him.
no matter what else can be said of them, the cap movies have honored the character. he NEVER gives up. in civil war, he takes all comers and kicks their assestony, rhodey, panther, and spidey.

Batman is not Sherlock Homes or Dick Tracy, His title be it comic or movie is an action-based one. Any detective work he does is to service the action. Bale's Batman did plenty of detective work throughout the trilogy.

I wasn't aware being Batman meant he could read minds.

Batman's quit multiple times in the comic books, and he didn't "quit" at the end of Rises, He retired to live his life.
affleck the definitive batman is because it's the first time on film that batman can actually fight.
Doesn't matter that he's an easily-manipulated, murderous sociopath as long as he fights like in the "Arkham Games", Right? God, this perspective is shallow, not to mention stupid.

And yet if Nolanmoron had said that he wasn't just "the dark knight" but was also "The World's Greatest Detective" like he is so often referred to, you'd be screaming that he's better than Sherlock or Dick Tracy.
I wasn't aware being Batman meant he could read minds.
Or was capable of logical, intelligent thought. Seriously. He shoots four bricks with a random caliber bullet to find out how to put together the bullet in the brick he's holding????

You hit the nail on the head on that one. It seems for many people, being accurate to the source material really only means the visual aesthetic. It doesn't matter if this Batman is a murderer, is even less of a detective, and is easily manipulated. All that matters is that he is 6'2", has a good costume, and fights like he does in the games.
I liked Affleck's performance, but I disagree with those who are already hailing him as the definitive Batman.

not my problem. i agree that he is batman in name only for the reasons you outline. i can even do that better than you; it's a peculiar statement to make because it's affleck's stuntman running around the warehouse. but nobody says his stuntman is the definitive batman. but according to some people, it's a movie about batman v superman, hence he's batman and a candidate for definitive batman. again, not my problem.

The Christopher Nolan movies dont count as a superhero trilogy, Batman is barely in the 3rd entry and only Batman Begins has any semblance of the character. Everything else is different. The dark knight rises is an awful film in general. All 3 films had awfully shot action and fight scenes and those are pretty much prerequisites for good superhero films. Just because batman was in the films doesnt make them batman or superhero films. By that notion, any film which features a character get stabbed would be considered a slasher film.
Captain America is probably the best trilogy of a superhero out there but Im sure it can and will be beaten some day. The first entry was rather pedestrian. It was a good film but nothing groundbreaking. Basically it did what fans hoped the 1990 disaster would have done; set most of the film in WW2 before unearthing cap in the present.
The second film kicks things up into high gear though, it does what Christopher Nolan attempted to do but better; keeps itself seriously but still keeps the pace rolling. The Bucky element as well as fall out from the first film is the true heart of the film.
The third film is easily the best- it becomes a political action drama and raises many good points without having an obvious agenda. You really feel for characters on both sides, particularily Rogers, Romanov, and Stark. The death of Peggy carter was a strong emotional point.
One drawback is its tough to consider it a trilogy since it is part of a shared universe. Its connected too heavily to the MCU and it would confuse a viewer not familiar with the MCU. The sequels involve characters introduced in the MCU and cap himself has an adventure of his own between each of his films. I actually would have preferred if Winter soldier came during phase one instead of iron man 2. Yeah the demise of SHIELD would have to be rewritten but we did miss seeing Rogers get acclimated to the new world, we do see a little bit of it during the Avengers but were led to believe he simply adjusts on his own without seeing it.

Within MCU's catalog of films? Yeah, sure, since their first completed trilogy, Iron Man, was downright awful. Good start, but terrible end results. Captain America doesn't have "great" trilogy. The First Avenger is mediocre at best, Civil War isn't even about him. Let's not even talk about Thor, since even if Ragnarok isn't utter crap like previous two, it won't make his trilogy better.

The Captain America movies aren't really a "trilogy" since they don't really lead into each other so therefore, they can't hold the title of "best trilogy" comic book or otherwise.

So you have problems with The Dark Knight trilogy, you don't consider it to be respectful towards history of Batman, but you think that MCU's Captain America got better treatment? Tell my why Captain America was no one's favorite Avenger until Winter Soldier didn't happen? It's because The First Avenger and The Avengers wasted his character. The First Avenger is one of the most mediocre superhero origin stories ever put on screen, and it has nothing on Batman Begins. Bruce Wayne in Nolan's movies is a multi-layered, well-thought-out character with emotional depth. Captain America before the Winter Soldier was a one-note cardboard figure. His character in The Avenger is a mockery of what Captain America should be. Civil War wasn't even about him.

It's clear Captain America holds the title of BEST TRILOGY ever made
Those of us that knew the character knew of the depth and complexity present in his mythos but even fans had to wonder if any studio could ever do the character justice. Well, the best case scenario has occurred. Everything fell together perfectly in terms of talent.
Joe Johnston was the perfect first director to helm the origin story given his Rocketeer and Raiders of the Lost Ark resume. Add that the cast came together as if it were fate. Actors like John Krasinski fell by the waste side as Chris Evans put aside his fears and Marvel looked past his Human Torch days and spotted the absolutely perfect embodiment of Steve Rogers. Add really unknown talents like Haley Atwell and Sebastian Stan and casting was beyond a home run. Veterans like Tommy Lee Jones, Toby Jones and Stanley Tucci were wonderful and smartly injected in to the story.
Then, Marvel intelligently shifted gears and tapped two unknown TV guys to direct Winter Soldier. Everyone at the time was puzzled that the guys from Community and Arrested Development would be handed Captain America after The Avengers movie. Marvel was mocked by the competition for the move. Man, talk about finding talent. The Russos may be the best young directors to break in to Hollywood since young Spielberg unveiled his Jawsmania.
By using the same talent but adding to it with Civil War, Marvel has given the Russos the keys to everything and the budget and talent to back their vision. What results is Civil War and what most people are calling the greatest superhero film ever made. It all built to this with every film getting even better from a very high starting point with First Avenger.
