BATMAN!

[dh1989]

SPIDER-MAN (10/10)

Batman (9/10)

That list of movies is great. Some matches are going to be really tough. And I'd like to comment that the person that made the FACTS is a genius!

[Annie Hall]

Batman...far superior to the merely fun Spidey. I love the darkness in Batman, and I love Nicholson.

[mattjk_17]

Spider-Man

[Gandalf the Grey]

As much as I love the original Batman, I'm gonna have to go with Spider-Man on this one.

Go Spidey.

[The Claw]

both are quite good but i vote for Batman

[screamer581]

Batman by far, I think we all know how I feel about Spider-Man.;)

[Damned Martian]

Both are equally good, but I'll vote for Batman

[Horror whore]

Ditto, plus I lurve Tim Burton!

Although I enjoyed Spider-Man more.

[bowieee]

Batman

By the way Invincible I love the statistics at the end of each round. Nice Touch :)

[Ren Hoek]

BATMAN (9/10) is one of the best comic adaptations of all time. Spider-Man (6/10) was okay, but still a huge letdown... I didn't give a shit about the shallow characters, and don't get me started on the CGI stuff or Kirsten Dunst's acting skills. :rolleyes:

Blade II

[screamer581]

The silly but fun Starship Troopers (7/10). Blade II(7/10) was pretty fun too.

[Outlaw_x]

Blade II

[darkface]

Starship Troopers is my guilty pleasure. It was a really fun popcorn movie. But Blade II suprised the hell out of me with some wicked stunts and a fun plot-line.

both 7/10's

but i'll have to go with Blade II

[arto_j]

Definitely Blade II.

Damn, I fell off the frequent voters list...I gotta start waking up earlier to make it to these rounds ;)

[Ren Hoek]

Oh, I see the STARSHIP TROOPERS haters haven't voted yet (*coughdh1989cough*) ...so let me just throw in one final pity vote for this very cool Sci-Fi movie. BLADE II is very entertaining though.

Starship Troopers (7/10) is the ultimate guilty-pleasure. Blade II (5/10) didn't suck as much as the first one, but it was still one bad movie.

Starship Troopers for me.

[Rated R]

Blade II

[Invincible]

Starship Troopers won

i liked both movies but the day i watched Face/Off was a great day so i would have to say face off

Love them both, more or less equally, but as this is an action tournament, Die Hard is a better action film (i'm not even sure that NBK must be here...)
