Great lists!
BvS beat out Batman and Batman Returns? Interesting…
And you have Muppet Treasure Island at the bottom? Not a fan of it?
I personally enjoyed The Lost World.

I know I risk alienation but I am actually a fan of Zack Snyder. I prefer his style over Tim Burton’s.
I like all the Muppet films. Treasure Island is simply in last place because one of them had to be.
The Lost World isn’t bad, but I thought it lacked the first film’s sense of wonder.

Oh ok, I understand now. I really hated Muppets Take Manhattan, so that would be my least fave.

Some interesting selections here. Were you not impressed with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix? When me, Rachel, Jeremy and Abby Kidd did our overall rankings of the HP films, we all thought that was one of the better ones. (We still put Deathly Hallows Part 1 at the bottom though!)

Order of the Phoenix was good but it was darker than the previous films and I prefer the lighter tone, although I enjoyed all the Harry Potter films immensely.
