Battle of the Comic Book Films Tournament(2020 Edition)

[Broseph44]

Yeah man let’s do a runner up

 

[KaijuDude1992]

Yeah I'm definitely down for another round of this Tournament even if its just the runner ups, because we still got a great selection of quality comic-book films to choose from.

 

[Broseph44]

Also want to say congrats to The Dark Knight which I voted for. And still agree that it’s the best CBM of all time personally.

 

[Filmfreak]

I have to say I find it weird but interesting that The Avengers won The Dark Knight in the previous tournament and now it barely got any votes against it. And while I did expect it to lose, I thought it would be much closer.

*Trump voice* It was rigged!

 

[Wheels]

I don't think I was voting last time and maybe some others.

It was the non-voters coming out.

Someone needs to work on their voter suppression.

It has aged well. The Godfather is nearly 50 years old and still considered amongst the greatest films of all time, so quality lasts.

 

[Daltonio]

Congrats to TDK for the well-deserved win. Not a surprise there, but you still love to see it!

Definitely down for a runner-up round!

 

[CaptainWagner]

Darn, I missed the Final Round! Probably would have voted TDK anyway, though. I agree mostly with the Final Three, though I think several MCU films are better than The Avengers. I get why it wound up here in the final battle, though. Very few CBMs can come close to its impact - on the genre, the industry and the culture.

And yeah, I'd totally vote in a Runner-Up round.

Ask and you shall receive,

Runner Up


The Avengers

VS

Logan

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Logan for me

 

[The Joker]

Logan.

I think Jackman's and Stewart's performances elevate it above The Avengers.

 

[Filmfreak]

I am actually voting for The Avengers on this one, even though I do like Logan's approach and style more.

 

[Broseph44]

Love both for many reasons, but Logan for me.

 

[Fincher]

Logan.

 

[Iceman]

Avengers

 

[flickchick85]

Avengers.

 

[Daltonio]

Between the two, I'd go for Logan.

 

[KaijuDude1992]

The Avengers for me as well.

 

[CaptainWagner]

Logan. IMO, The Avengers is primarily great for what it accomplished. Don't get me wrong, I love it, I think it's peak popcorn entertainment. But it doesn't hold up as well against films outside the genre like Logan or TDK do. Jackman, Stewart and Keen deliver brilliant performances, the production design is exquisite, it's bleakly beautiful. And its moved me emotionally more than any other Comic Book Movie (And most movies in general).

Also, shameless plug here, y'all should totally head over to my Christmas Movie Tournament and vote there, too.

 

[Luigi]

Logan

Jackman deserved a nomination for his performance.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

THE AVENGERS

Superheroes in New York? Could they be advertising something?

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Avengers was a gamechanger and was one of my most fun/exciting moving going experiences.

Logan was one of the best X-men movies, very refreshing and a great action film but the third act can't compare to last 45 minutes of Avengers which was one of the best third acts of any superhero movie, if not the best.

So yeah, TA all day.

I agree with pretty much all of that.
Logan is a mature and moving deconstruction of a super hero in his twilight.

Avengers is a big, mostly fun popcorn movie with a spectacular ending - the likes of which hadn't been seen since Return of the Jedi.

Logan gets my vote, but I give Avengers its props.
