Alfred Hitchcock never won an Oscar except for a memorial award.

It's a pretty bad movie. Basically all my problems lie in the opening fight scenes which sets the tone for the rest of the film.

Fixed. Frank Castle never would've been able to beat Ronan, he's too dumb in how to think of ways to beat an enemy. None of the movie baddies maybe except Winter Soldier and Killmonger are a match for Castle Again, Ronan wasn't defeated by a dance-off, he was distracted, the infinity gem is what actually defeated him. If Castle went all guns out on Ronan in that scene he would've obliterated Castle with a jerk of his hammer. Most of the movie baddies would destroy Castle without much effort at all. Iron Monger? He has a suit that can go up against Iron Man's. Abomination? Too strong of a force, he'd be turned into spaghetti. Whiplash? Too crafty with tech and has his own robotic suit. Red Skull? Had the Tesseract. Loki? Can fool his perception of reality and sneak up behind him with a blade. Hela? She's the Goddess of Death, he has no chance. Killian? His Extremis abilities makes him very hard to beat. Malekith? Has powers beyond Castle's imagination he wouldn't last for a minute. Ego? He's a living planet, Castle is screwed big time. Ultron? He's made of metal, Castle's bullets wouldn't do a thing on him. Kaecilius? He's a master of mystic arts, Castle has no chance of coming out fine. The Vulture? I suppose if they're both on the ground, but Castle has no special tech that allows him to chase him in the air. Thanos? He'd see Castle punch his head off of his shoulders.

Humans do something bad that affects mutants, Magneto does something to respond to this. X-Men have to stop him. Villains do something bad that affects heros. Anti hero does something to respond to this. Heros save the day. Way to be vague. Those plot beats can be said for 90% of films. You can have both wonderous and grounded motifs at the same time, they are not mutually exclusive. Yes yes of course the same Singer that turned Apocalypse into an Egyptian time god that can transfer his essence through an unexplained ritual using the suns light. So grounded. Xmen was for maturer readers who understood the dynamics of the real world and they work better on their own in a psuedo seperate universe than other marvel characters. The only good full crossover was Asgardian Wars.

Other CBMs tend to break with this by having the heroes be proactive and the villains reacting to them, but X-Men never does. It also makes the X-men really incompetent in their mission to make the world better for mutants because they do nothing but react instead of being proactive.
The X-Men movies SHOULD be about them being proactive, it's part of their premise. But they never are.
Tell that to Nolan and X-Men. And it wasn't good, because Singer either doesn't like non-grounded stuff or doesn't know HOW to do it. No, that's a lie they tell themselves. A more mature book was something like Captain America that's consistently been much more progressive than X-Men ever has. X-Men's a pretty conservative series. Cap dealt with stuff like Civil Rights and everything before X-Men did anything meaningful.
