Batman vs. Bond (vs. Trek) - Round 6

[Lord Garth]

In the absence of Star Trek 2 a.k.a. Star Trek XII, we'll be using Master and Commander as a stand-in. I've never seen it before. Yes, I know... So I'm trusting those who've given it good word-of-mouth.

The winners of the previous rounds:

1. Goldeneye
2. Star Trek: First Contact
3. The World Is Not Enough
4. Star Trek: Nemesis
5. Batman Begins

#3 and #4 look out of place, don't they? But anyway, let's get the voting in this round started!

 

[Admiral Shran]

The Dark Knight, easily.

The other two are decent movies. However, they simply can't compete with The Dark Knight.

Quantum of Solace is second, but it gets dragged down by it's rather annoying camera work and other technical problems.

Master and Commander was.... okay, I guess. It wasn't bad by any stretch of the imagination. It just didn't blow me away, which is sad because I usually love high seas adventure stories (especially ones set during the Napoleonic Wars).

 

[Enterprise is Great]

Of the three Dark knight is the best, then Master than Quantum.

 

[PlainSimpleJoel]

The Dark Knight by a Gotham City Mile.

 

[Harvey]

I'll go with Quantum of Solace. It isn't a perfect movie, but I think it was unfairly criticized when it was released. It's a good follow up to Casino Royale and I hope Quantum doesn't go unused in further movies, even if they won't appear in Skyfall.

The Dark Knight is thematically rich, and features a great performance from Heath Ledger, but it also operates on silly comic book logic, perhaps even more so than its predecessor. It'll win here, but I'll cast the vote against it. Which is not to say that I don't like the movie; as far as superhero pictures go, it's hard to beat.

Seconded

 

[Starkers]

Master and Commander is one of the best Trek films never made, and proves you can have kick arse sea battles, human drama and exploration all in the same film.

QoS is vastly underrated, and frankly The Dark Knight is a tad overrated (not to mention overlong) Still it is the best of the three, but for me not by as much as otheres obviously think.

Thirded.

 

[barnaclelapse]

The Dark Knight is the easy choice for me in this one. I thought Quantum was just dreadful.

 

[MacLeod]

It's a choice between TDK and M&C for me. Wasn't keen on QoS, though M&C doesn't look as good on the small screen as it does on the big screen.

 

[Lord Garth]

Is this what the 1972 and 1984 US Presidential Elections were like?

 

[Captaindemotion]

^ Nixon and Reagan were dark lords, not dark knights!

 

[HaventGotALife]

The Dark Knight. I can't vote for it fast enough.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

^ Nixon and Reagan were dark lords, not dark knights!

There wasn't even a quantum of solace there. More like a lepton.

 

[RandyS]

My vote goes to The Dark Knight. Quantum of Solace was okay, but not great, and I've never seen Master and Commander.

 

[Lord Garth]

I wish they used the rejected theme for Quantum of Solace.

 

[Kai "the spy"]

I wish they used the rejected theme for Quantum of Solace.

Oooh, rejected themes. Love them. The best thing to happen for the fan who has everything. The knowledge there's still more out there.
I also like Straw's rejected theme to The World Is Not Enough.

 

[Bisz]

Master and Commander.

I love AoS movies.

 

[Admiral Shran]

So, is The Dark Knight going to win this round. I think it's too close to call.

 

[Saga]

I wish they used the rejected theme for Quantum of Solace.

that's awesome. i like the song they ended up using...but this rejected one is far superior. it just has that Bond feeling.
