Pick two to advance!

[Spider-Dan]

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.  One example:

I do like all 4 movies, however, DK and Joker were easy choices for me.

Sorry, Batman, but it was Man of Steel and Scott Pilgrim for me...

Did you guys not like Joker?  It was the best movie I had seen in quite a while.

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.

Voting has ended!  The Dark Knight and Scott Pilgrim advance to the next round, where they will face Dredd and Watchmen.

I am pleased with this result.
