Pick two to advance!

[Spider-Dan]

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.

[Tenshot13]

Sin City and 300 were my vote.

[Sunstroke]

Sin City and 300 here as well...though all of this group were excellent movies.

[Dave Gray]

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.

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..."

Voting has ended!  300 and Sin City advance to the next round, where they will face The Dark Knight and Watchmen.
