Boards Best Superhero Movie Tournament!
-
22-05-2016 10:48pm#1Ladies and gents, we have done best tournaments for superheroes and supervillains over the past number of weeks, and now we turn our attention towards the movies.
When it comes to movies, there are surely few better experiences than sitting back, putting the feet up, and watching a good ol' superhero movie.
BUT...
With regards the superhero movie genre, one must tread carefully. Because while there are several classics, there are also just as many, if not more, out-and-out stinkers.
We will attempt to discover here on the forum the general concensus on what films are the classics, and what are the stinkers.
I have compiled a list of 64 superhero films and I have referenced both IGN and Wiki in this research. As ever, if I wind up missing out on a classic I apologize in advance. I should also state that I have been a bit generous in the films I am putting under the superhero movie umbrella.
As usual, the first character to get to 3 votes qualifies for the next round and the loser gets eliminated. Please try to give a reason why you are voting the way you are. We will go from 64 movies to 32, and then to 16, and so on until we reach the final.
Okay, so with that out of the way let's get to the first tie of the game...Hellboy
VS
The Amazing Spider-Man 2
It's the film that brought Ron Perlman to the screen as the demon Hellboy, taking on Andrew Garfield's Spidey sequel, The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Picture the scene: a friend or a loved one offers you one of these films for the night and you have to pick one - which one do you go for?
First movie to get to 3 votes goes through.2

The Crow edges a close one to go forward to Round 2. Next up it's another film based on an Alan Moore creation versus a film with origins in Japan...Watchmen
VS
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie
Quite a contrast in styles here as we have Zack Snyder's adult 2009 film, Watchmen, taking on the family-friendly film based on the hit TV series, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie.
Which of these two should go through? Vote now.0 -
