Movie VS. Movie - The Ultimate Cinema Showdown

[Plunder]

It's pretty simple: Which movie do you think is better?

There is a wonderful site where you are presented with 2 random movies and you have to rank which one you like more. Sometimes it's very VERY difficult to choose the victor because both are equally matched. I will be posting some of these close examples, others feel free to post as well.

A few things that will help -
1. Reply to the battle message if you are giving your opinion/decision on it.
2. Let's mark new entries with a phrase - #newbattle
3. Supplement with a photo of the 2 if you can
4. Respond to as many battles as you like

Here's the first I will bring up, currently the most discussed on said site -

THe Dark Knight vs The Avengers

My opinion? The Avengers wins by a landslide. I have a serious problem with Batman as a character and series. He doesn't kill the evil bad guy, so that bad guy then is allowed to kill his loved ones and 1000s of innocent people, rinse and repeat. His morality is moronic and it's a self fulfilling lazy plot device to secure future conflict for future stories. Oh and Christian Bale is a terrible Batman.

Avengers all the way. I don't really like the newer batman that much, and I absolutely adored the first Avengers movie when it came out.

THe Dark Knight vs The Avengers

I haven't watched either, but my vote goes to The Avengers. Crossovers are pretty hype.

Since I am strongly biased against Nolan's Batman films, The Avengers it is.

Since Toy Story is approaching its 20th anniversary, I thought it would be appropriate to see which of the three is favored the most.

First off, I absolutely adore all 3. All of them are probably in my top ten favorite movies. My favorite of the 3 is Toy Story 1. I watched it 100+ times when I was a kid and will always have a special connection with that one specifically.

My favorite is the first movie. I would rewatch it all the time, along with the Iron Giant, and We're Back: A Dinosaur's Story.

The First movie for sure. The second had obviously improved graphics and animation, but the first had the best story and the "novel-W-T-F I just-witnessed history in film-making" factor.

Toy Story 3 in my memory is rather forgettable, I've only seen it once. I need to watch it again to properly appreciate it, maybe I was in the wrong mindset.

It's close between the first and second movie, but in the end I'd have to give it to 2. The humor is better, they get more creative with the concept and it gives the supporting cast more screen time. Honestly, my biggest strike against the movie is how Stinky Pete basically becomes little more than a plot device to get the toys to the airport for the climax.

I literally can't. I just...
Can't.

I know right?

I think for me I would choose Empire over Return. The Hoth sequence and the character development was more memorable as I recall.

Empire all the way. Return lacks focus, drags on to long, has Ewoks and generally feels like a step down from the character development and more mature themes of Empire. That being said, Return's climax is incredibly awesome and is one of the best parts of the entire series.
