Title: Re: TDMMC Comic Book Movie Madness: Non-MCU Marvel Group 2 Post by: Spider-Dan on April 06, 2020, 01:51:55 am Another easy choice. X2 and Logan are my two favorite X-Men movies by a sizable margin.
I think Logan, in particular, is a special movie in this contest. I think both Logan and Dark Knight stand out as "films" that you don't need to be a comic book fan to enjoy. But Logan was the first movie that treated Wolverine in an ultra-serious manner. Zack Snyder has been trying to churn out grimdark DC movies for years, and Logan accomplished being grim and dark with a lot more sunlight. I think Logan stands as the best accomplishment of "cinema" in this competition.

X2 was a good movie too, but didn't make the cut IMO.
Title: Re: TDMMC Comic Book Movie Madness: Non-MCU Marvel Group 2 Post by: Dave Gray on April 06, 2020, 10:39:40 am I picked X2 and Spider-Man.
I like Logan, but didn't love it like so many others did. I think I might be over-rating X2 also, but I have fond memories of it. I really still like what Spider-man did for comic book films. Daredevil is a turd. Title: Re: TDMMC Comic Book Movie Madness: Non-MCU Marvel Group 2 Post by: Spider-Dan on April 09, 2020, 03:38:25 am Voting has ended! Logan and Spider-Man advance to the next round, where they will face Deadpool and X-Men.
