The Action Movie Tournament
 

Don't shoot! No comments nor complaints or whatever about my other "tournament attempts". I'm so fuckin bored and I love action movies, so here we go. Yes there's a lot of tournies but if you think about it, there's more threads that AREN'T tournies.... hehe.

Kill Bill V.1

1-0 For the best movie EVER.

hmm - - - i hate tarantino and i hate cruise. . . which do i hate the least???

MI:2

Kill Bill.

Kill Bill

Kill Bill

6-1

By the way its first to 10 or 5 hours.

Kill Bill part 2 is way superior to part 1, and MI:2 is just ridiculously OTT, but a hell of a lot of fun. So MI:2

If you go about it that way it's gonna lag quite a bit.

Just for thew first few rounds. I may change it, because you're right.

I like Mission Impossible 2 because I'm a John Woo mark, but I like Kill Bill v.1 better. The battle with the Crazy 8s was gawdly. ;)

Crazy 88...Crazy 8s were in Basic.

If you have to do another tournament, at least lean how to post pics...

batman begins



the new batmoblie was pretty awesome, like the old one better though.

Batman Begins

Hmmm...Both were awesome movies. Batman Begins was extremely well done, and the Matrix was great, before the other two just screwed things to hell.

Tough call, but I vote Matrix.

Even though I'll probably be the only one. :eek:

Funny, I was thinking the same thing.

lol! Yeah, I know...Picking the Matrix over Batman is probably a rather unpopular pick. I picked it based on inital impact when I first saw both...Batman was great, but it was still just another re-telling of the Batman legend. The Matrix, when it first came out, was a rather original idea, which is why I gave it the nod. :D

You misunderstood, I think the Matrix is gonna win this one.



As far as being original, the telling of the story was but the man vs. machine with everything riding on a saviour had been done. Batman had obviously been done before but Bruce Wayne going through the motions of becoming Batman was a first on film. So there's originality and rehash on both sides.

Matrix > Batman Begins


I vote for The Matrix all the way. Waaaaaaaaaaay more inventive piece of filmmaking. (Now, if it was going up against Chris Nolan's masterpiece Memento, then it'd be a tough choice for me, but in my eyes, Matrix far exceeds Batman Begins. Both good though.)


Matrix

Posher - A quick lesson in posting pics.....


Keep HDC open in 1 window and open google (or yahoo or whatever) image search in a 2nd window.

Search for the pic you wanna post on google. Find it, click it and then click it again to see the full size image.

Once you are on a screen with only the image, highlight it and right click. On the bottom of the dropdown menu, it says properties. Click 'Properties'.

This will show you all the properties of the image. Highlight & copy the entire image url.

Then switch over to your HDC window and click on the little button that says 'IMG' (its on the screen you're looking at when making a post.) It will pop up a box that says something like "Enter text to be formatted"

In that box, paste the image URL that you copied, then hit enter. The image + neccesary coding will appear in your text box.


It's easier than it sounds and once you do it once or twice, it'll become old hat in no time. Hope that helps. Good tournament.

Tough one.

Batman Begins.

Batman Begins

Batman Begins

It's hard for me to believe that The Matrix is gonna get smoked by Batman Begins in an action movie contest. The Matrix is one of the best action movies out there. Bat man was cool, but there wasn't 1/10th the action in it that The Matrix had.

The Matrix was awesome and has to win. I don't think that in 10 years time, people will be saying, "so and so is a great film, really Batman Begins-y" in the same way that we refer to stuff as Matrix-y now.
It captured peoples' imaginations, and has had a huge influence on movies since, so I'm voting The Matrix.

Hard choice.

Personally, I liked Batman Begins more, though The Matrix is hands down the better film....

I have to go with prefrence here, Batman Begins.

Are we supposed to vote for what we liked better or the better action film?

the was mediocre to me, but I hated batman begins (oh, how i yearn for the days of burton!!!).

the matrix

It's a question of what YOU think. I think Batman Begins was the better action flick.

batman

Matrix was an over-hyped piece of shit. Batman Begins, please.

The Matrix

Batman Begins was a bad attempt to relieve one of the most beloved superheroes of all time, IMO.
