It was pretty close between avengers and batman. But I enjoyed judge dredd the most. Loved mama! Avengers only two flaws were the story and the villians. Battmans only three flsws were the dumb looks that talia got when she was dying, the part of bruce being in the pit and bruce being shown alive at the end.

Admit it.

Your Wrong man. Dredd Wrong. Lol.

I Loved Dredd, saw it in theaters twice and bought it on DVd and have it digitally on my ipad too. It was fantastic and in my opinion was just more fun than TDKR, ASM or dare i say it Avengers. Sure those movies were big time blockbusters that made a combined 2 billion plus, but Dredd was just bad ass. It new what it was and just was uncompromisingly violent and was straight and to the point. It did everything it was going for really well. I loved it. Avengers and TDKR were still great and I enjoyed them too but...Its all about Dredd.

Bane over Loki? Really?

"Speak of the devil and he will appear". I can't remember a single line Loki uttered. Against that you have so many memorable Bane quotes.

Whhhaaaaatt?

"I am Loki of Asgard, and I am burdened with glorious purpose." "This is a child at prayer, pathetic!" and let us not forget "I am Loki, all of you are beneath me. I- bang slam slam!!!"

What did Bane have? "You have my permission to die?"

How about Worst Movie? The "Surprised It Didn't Suck" Award? Best Music?

I had those in mind already. Thanks, though! Feel free to keep 'em coming. (Biggest Letdown, Best Surprise, Best Soundtrack)

I would've loved a best soundtrack award.

Avengers won best movie and people are still angry? O_O

I thought Avengers and TDKR were great films, Avengers had better elements to it e.g better director for bringing all together perfectly, but TDKR was a better film due to story and sheer awesomness

Scarlett Johansson was robbed!! Her role as Black Widow was awesome. Anne Hathaway's part as Catwoman wasn't terrible, at best.

I enjoyed TDKR, but Best Script? Really?

TDKR was utter sh*t.

The ONLY award that should've walked away with is Best Villain, Dredd should've taken Best Script and Dredd or ASM should've taken best actress.

Pretty much nobody saw Dredd in general. It was a huge flop, which is really unfortunate. People still remembered how terrible the Stallone one was, so they didn't want to see this one. What a buncha maroons.

Yea, unfortunately the Stallone film left a bad taste in a lot of peoples mouths. Its just a shame that it did so poorly. Doesnt look like we will get a sequel.

Yes It was a simple movie without trying to be epic. Take away the name Dredd and it still would have been a good movie.

It was a good movie but Dread had no Hype and didn't feel like this epic thing. Which to be honest is what I thought partly made it good. 
ASM was too soon from the last movies that it kinda gets written off.

I loved it also. It's only problem IMO was it was too soon since the last trilogy.

TDKR haters LOL I didn't know a person could be war with a film. So, how was it working on the set of the Avengers? I'm sure this fanvote totally validates your opinions.

Haven't seen Dredd yet, but everything else was great. Where was Ghost Rider though? I know it was bad but it wasn't even an option, that is harsh.

I am almost surprised that people are taking this as seriously as they are.

I enjoyed Dredd, I just didn't enjoy it as much as the Avengers/The Dark Knight Rises.

See, for me it was DKR>Dredd>Avengers. Just personal preference.

Yes, it was great! Don't let the horrible Stallone Dredd movie detour you from seeing this. Unfortunately it tanked at the box office (only making around 35 million). If youre not a fan of the comics I still think people can enjoy the movie.

Ha take that TDKR! Though best script is a bit generous given the gaping plot holes in that film. And no Mark Ruffalo love for his portrayal of Bruce Banner? Ah well The Avengers won a fair few categories so that's good.
