Battle of the Comic Book Films Tournament(2020 Edition)

[Babillygunn]

The Dark Knight Rises, easily.

 

[KaijuDude1992]

The Dark Knight Rises a million times over. Seriously, that movie almost feels like its underrated at this point, but I've always really enjoyed it even if it is the weakest in the trilogy. Venom was just a mess of a movie IMO.

 

[Iceman]

TDKR

Venom is fun at least though.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I like Venom a lot actually, but TDKR is clearly superior.

Also, I honestly couldn’t have voted between Kick-Ass and Kingsman.

 

[HammerDown]

Kickass vs Kingsman: TSS
Batman: TDKR vs Venom

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

The Dark Knight Rises is one of my favorite CBMs. This one isn't even close.

 

[Closerframe]

TDKR is a trash film cloaked by its talent. Venom knows it's not a particularly good film, but still managed to find an audience so I choose Venom.

 

[CaptainWagner]

I REALLY do not like TDKR (white Bane, Nonsense plot, Horrible villain death, Pointless side character turned into pointless Easter Egg), but it's still better than Venom. I eagerly look forward to voting against it next round.

 

[Immortalfire]

Dark Knight Rises

 

[Luigi]

TDKR

Far too easy to pick.

 

[venom892]

The Dark Knight Rises advances. Next match


Battle of the Zack Synder Films

300

VS

Man of Steel

 

[Filmfreak]

Don't care much for either movie but I prefer Man of Steel.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Tough one but have to go with Man of Steel.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I enjoy Man of Steel, so I'll give it my vote.

 

[CaptainWagner]

It gets so much about Superman so completely wrong, but is a technically good movie, IMO, and Michael Shannon delivers an all-time great villain performance. Man of Steel it is.

(Does a full version of the bracket exist? I'm just curious to see what it looks like.)

 

[Airwings]

Tough one. But I go with MOS

 

[KaijuDude1992]

I'm going with 300. I like MOS, but 300 is on a whole other level entirely IMO and just seeing the ground breaking, visual spectacle of that movie for the first time is something I will always remember.

Not in the traditional sense. I have all the round 1 match ups written in a note on my phone. But there is no bracket like March Madness. Once round 1 is over, I'll create all the match ups for round 2 the way I did for the first round.(I.E. Batman 89 and X-men will not face off in round 2 just because they won the first two matches, but will match up with another movie they have something in common with like actor,director,year released etc.) I don't know it that makes sense to everyone, but it's how I ran the other tournaments.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

I guess on the surface these movies are on the same level but while MOS is a decent Superman adaptation, 300 is a GREAT adaptation of 300.

So 300 despite it basically being Neo-Fascist porn, lol.

 

[Zorro]

I like Man of Steel a lot but have to go with 300!

 

[Immortalfire]

Battle of Snyder films is like asking if I’d rather have the flu, or pneumonia

 

[HammerDown]

300

 

[venom892]

It's close, but Man of Steel prevails. Next Match

Battle of the Danny Huston Films

X-men Origins: Wolverine

VS

Wonder Woman

 

[Filmfreak]

Again I'm no fan of Wonder Woman but there's not much contest there.

 

[Fincher]

I think Wonder Woman might take this one. That's my vote.
