Title: Re: TDMMC Comic Book Movie Madness: Non-Marvel Group 1 Post by: Spider-Dan on April 06, 2020, 01:45:42 am The Dark Knight is the #1 overall ranked movie in this contest, with an averaged rating of 9.2 out of 10. Spider-Verse is the only other entry that's over a 9.
This is an easy pick for me, though I'm not confident one of my picks will make it out. The Dark Knight is an obvious lock as the most critically-acclaimed movie in this competition, but my second choice was Scott Pilgrim. I loved the art direction in that movie; there are tons of cool scenes that wowed me.

Title: Re: TDMMC Comic Book Movie Madness: Non-Marvel Group 1 Post by: Tenshot13 on April 06, 2020, 09:27:16 am Did you guys not like Joker? It was the best movie I had seen in quite a while.
Title: Re: TDMMC Comic Book Movie Madness: Non-Marvel Group 1 Post by: Dave Gray on April 06, 2020, 10:23:23 am The Dark Knight is the best movie in this bracket, probably. And I also chose Scott Pilgrim, which is a movie I go back to over and over.
Tough field. I think that Joker is simply good, but not great. I think that it doesn't really add up to much. I also like Man of Steel.

Haven't seen it yet...heard it was good though. Title: Re: TDMMC Comic Book Movie Madness: Non-Marvel Group 1 Post by: Spider-Dan on April 09, 2020, 03:37:00 am Voting has ended! The Dark Knight and Scott Pilgrim advance to the next round, where they will face Dredd and Watchmen.
