Matt D 13,989 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 As I said, I'm taking the humanistic movie about assholes doing their best over a take on a character I love that I really don't like (but that I still like over Man of Steel). Link to post Share on other sites
Jingus 544 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Guardians Of The Galaxy never should've gotten this far. Way too much kneejerk voting for the shiny new toy. Fun flick, sure, but I don't think it will age as well as Superman has. Link to post Share on other sites
Kuetsar 1,882 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Guardians Of The Galaxy never should've gotten this far. Way too much kneejerk voting for the shiny new toy. Fun flick, sure, but I don't think it will age as well as Superman has. Superman also should have lost to the Dark Knight. . . 1 Link to post Share on other sites
odessasteps 14,558 Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Given the relative small sample sizing of voting compared to the usual polls here, the upsets are not totally surprising. Link to post Share on other sites
Craig H 14,932 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Superman is not a good movie, let alone a good superhero movie. There is also nothing in Guardians as head scratchingly dumb as making time go in reverse by turning the planet's rotation is a different direction. For all the dick tugging people do for Superman about how he is so good, no one mentions how much of a selfish bastard he is. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Craig H 14,932 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Not as cheeky and funny, though. Link to post Share on other sites
Craig H 14,932 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 He's such a selfish prick that it all comes full circle in Superman 3. Link to post Share on other sites
Niners Fan in CT 15,608 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I'm going to have to think about this but I will say that Superman over The Dark Knight is a real head scratcher. I could see if we were talking Man of Steel.. then there'd be more of an argument. Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Fowler 15,486 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Superman was the only bracket winner that would have been my choice in a ballot situation. Guardians is fantastic, don't get me wrong. But it shouldn't have beat Avengers, and it DAMN sure shouldn't having beaten Spider-Man 2. The only two movies in the whole tournament I would have voted of S:TM were Spider-Man 2 and Ghost World. To me, this is absurdly not close. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Justin877 254 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Richard Donner made me believe a man could fly! GoG is a great movie as well, but sentimentality wins out in the end. Link to post Share on other sites
Raziel 9,075 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Eh, its a tourny. We found out that tourny polls produce some whacky results that wouldn't normally happen (like, say, the DVDVR Board choosing "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay" as the greatest song of all time), whereas a ballot list thingy produces more accurate results, but is a fuckton more work for the orgainzer, and relies on everyone actually doing a list (like the 8th Gen list that only got 1 ballot).

Craig H 14,932 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Regardless of sentimentality, Superman is a shit sandwich of a movie with cheesy acting and dialogue. And hey, I get being sentimental. I'm fucking sentimental for Silver Bullet, but that movie is hot garbage. Link to post Share on other sites
RandomAct 2,258 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Speaking of MoS, what happened there? I recall it in the first round beating League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, but never saw it again after the first round. Link to post Share on other sites
twiztor 1,390 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 i never go to the theater to see movies twice. but i did for GotG and i can't wait for the blu-ray release. i just want to keep watching it. i voted Avengers over it, but i'll be damned if the current crop of Marvel movies isn't the best superhero flicks of all time.

I recall it in the first round beating League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, but never saw it again after the first round. it ran into a powerhouse in Batman (1989) in Round 2.

Execproducer 1,199 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 So 26 votes cast in the last round and 25 so far in the final. One more vote out there with Odessa possibly breaking the tie? The suspense is killing me. Link to post Share on other sites

One more vote out there with Odessa possibly breaking the tie? The suspense is killing me. I will probably wait until mid-week to close it. I had tried to wait until there were 30 votes or four/five days to give people a good window to choose. I'd have to go back see just what the max number of votes have been in any one round. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
