Title: Re: TDMMC Comic Book Movie Madness, Round of 32: THEMYSCIRA Group Post by: Spider-Dan on April 12, 2020, 02:41:28 am I'm definitely not voting for Sin City in this round, but I can't make up my mind on the other movie I'm leaving out. Let's see what everyone else has to say.

Title: Re: TDMMC Comic Book Movie Madness, Round of 32: THEMYSCIRA Group Post by: Dave Gray on April 13, 2020, 09:47:40 am Batman Begins is my top choice here. Also including 300.
I like Sin City's visual style, but felt the story was kinda scattershot. And while I really did enjoy Wonder-Woman, I feel like it's only good in parts and I can't get over how traditional and weak the 3rd act is.

Isn't Sin City supposed to be scatter shot? It's all about the different stories in Sin City with Bruce Willis over arching story.I like Sin City's visual style, but felt the story was kinda scattershot.

It's all about the different stories in Sin City with Bruce Willis over arching story. Exactly...it was the scattershot "Here's a little piece of everyone" format that made me really dig the movie. Favorite character...Marv Favorite Marv quote... "She smells like angels ought to smell..."
