The Verdict Director's Cut

This matchup has 14 votes. The picture may shift as more people weigh in.

There's something funny about a movie that isn't out yet pulling ahead of one that was a genuine hit, but anticipation is its own force. The Galaxy movie promises more of what the first delivered — the same directors, the same bright Nintendo energy, now set loose in the trippy cosmic playground of one of the most beloved games. People are voting for the version in their heads, and the version in their heads is spectacular. The first film is the safe, known good time. The sequel is the exciting maybe. Until it actually screens, a result like this is hype rather than judgment — but the hype is real.
