EVA Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 OOF. B&R vs. Watchmen is a really tough matchup for me. I like both of those movies better than the general consensus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 OOF. B&R vs. Watchmen is a really tough matchup for me. I like both of those movies better than the general consensus. They are both wildly underrated. Batman & Robin is really, really good at being what it wants to be (a then-modern update of Batman '66, with a blockbuster budget) and Watchmen somehow gets knocked both for being too faithful and not faithful enough to the source material. Of course, I've been fighting the "B&R needs reevaluated" battle on this board for years, and I think maybe two people have actually sat down and re-watched it. I maintain that it is, at bare minimum, a better film than Forever or Rises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 I always argued that Clooney is the perfect person to play Batman. It is unfortunate he played him in that movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I agree totally with Fowler about B&R. And yeah, Jonah Hex wasn't that great, but I'll be damned if I vote Rises over anything save for Lantern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I finally went with B&R, based simply on rewatchability. You can jump into that movie at any point and be entertained. WATCHMEN is something you kinda have to invest in watching, and as such, I haven't rewatched it nearly as much. But I still like it a lot, and even think it *gasp* improves on the graphic novel in some ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Watchmen suffers in rewatchability because it's really fucking long. Especially if you are like me and roll with The Ultimate Cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuetsar Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I've never even seen Jonah Hex, but I voted for it, because I hated DKR that much. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 There are a LOT of movies in this tournament I would vote over DKR. Jonah Hex is definitely not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Kenny Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 The Watchmen trailer might be the best trailer of the tournament so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Damn Yeti Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 That Watchmen trailer is instant goosebumps. I must have watched it 100 times before the movie premiered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ray Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 The irony of match up 1 is the theme from the trailer of Watchmen is from the soundtrack of Batman & Robin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 B&R is the only Bat-movie i've voted against thus far. Forever is my personal favorite. i'm not going to argue its greatness, i just personally love it to no end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
