Sorry I've given up. You need to re-do this survey because you're asking for multiple responses for number of films. Don't do bullet-points, do a,b,c,etc.

Or get monkey to do it.

That should be survey monkey.

I'd recommend Survey Gizmo over Monkey.

Survey Monkey's great if you can fit it into 10 questions, and you're not a student.

But ... if you've got an academic email address you can get a free account at Survey Gizmo that's as good as their paid-for service.

No

If no, why did you go and see the films?

Saw the DVD with a friend - they chose it, not me.

3. What attracted you to them?

• Other:My partner/friend (who is a fan) wanted to watch the DVD

4. What did you like about the films?

• Other: Honestly, I had to check with DP if I'd even seen the Dark Knight! So it obviously didn't make a big impression on me. I expect I enjoyed Heath Ledger's acting.
I liked the anti-war aspect of the Iron Man.

5. What did you dislike about the films?

.................................................................................................

Yes, I'm interested that they came from comic books.

Anything but the same old Hollywood fodder is great!
Interesting to see how they represent comic books in film.

Actually you should definitely do it in survey monkey, as if you do it on this page, people may well be influenced by each others' responses so not at all reliable!

Or even Survey Gizmo
