POLL: Which 2012 Superhero Movie Do You Think Will Win The Battle Of The Critics?

POLL: Which 2012 Superhero Movie Do You Think Will Win The Battle Of The Critics?

I asked you guys which of next years big releases will be the biggest hit at the box office and over 15,000 of you voted in a poll which ultimately saw The Dark Knight Rises triumph. However, which will the critics love most? Vote here...

Feature Opinion

According to Rotten Tomatoes, X-Men: First Class was the best reviewed superhero comic book movie of 2011. But which out of Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises and The Amazing Spider-Man will triumph in 2012? When I asked you guys which of these you thought would be the most financially successful, a whopping 65.39% of you decided that there was no doubt that TDKR would come out on top. But now I want to know which you think the critics will most fall in love with. While I find it hard to imagine the new Ghost Rider getting top scores, it's difficuly to decide which of the others will win. With great casts and directors behind them all, this is a tough one, so get voting...





And before you automatically decide that The Dark Knight Rises is a guaranteed winner, who would have ever thought this time last year that X-Men: First Class would be the best reviewed while Green Lantern would be the worst?

TDKR- movie with action; promises great acting, character depth, and a good story.

The Avengers- looks like it has a lot of cool action, Robert Downey Jr. is awesome.

Spider man- Wild Card

Ghost Riders- Really?

Winner- TDKR (Of course)

Well Batman will win the poll again,but it always does.
To analysis I don't think Ghost Rider if good are bad will
get great reviews.The Avengers my be to much going on
for critics to take serious(there assholes remember).So I
say its up to Spider-Man and Batman.I'll give it to Batman
this time just cause some critics may not dig the reboot
so early.

I'm pretty sure that if you just made a poll asking
"Which do you think will be the better movie"?
TDKR would win that as well.

the wastebasket.
