Zootopia made the final? wat

RT: 98%
Metacritic: 78
IMDB: 8.1

It's by all accounts a really good film.

I'm sure, but it struck me as a pretty standard animation, not best of the decade material

but who knows

Same here

I actually feel asleep during the 3rd LotR movie (also the 3rd Pirates of the Caribbean movie) ;>_>

Bump

I love both movies, I think I'm gonna give it to Return of the King but I'm happy Zootopia made it this far. Thought it was out in the top 8.

I guess people just didn't want an all-LotR final, though I think Fellowship vs. RotK would have been more interesting than this match. There's never been a real consensus on which of those movies is better.

Consensus is RotK. Consensus is wrong.

Two Towers still the best though.

What is LotR's overall record against non-LotR competition all time? Well I know it's just the one loss, but how many total wins?

Easy to figure out. All 3 movies won their year. Each year has 6 matches and they won all of them so that's 18. Now we have this and RotK has made it to the finals so add 5 to get to 23. Fellowship lost in the Semis which means it gets 4 to get to 27. Two Towers lost the round before which means it won 3 to get to 30. Fellowship was the only movie to lose to a non LotR movie so that's the one loss.

30-1

Very nice, doesn't quite match the Noble Nine but heck, what could?!

Fellowship rules them all for me. Boromir + Gandalf the Grey + the world building is an unbeatable combo. Also Strider Aragorn > King Aragorn.
