Some tough decisions here!

The Battle

Pick one film from each battle (copy and paste into comments), or leave it blank if you can't choose. You can still vote if you haven't seen a particular film in any particular battle. I'll count the votes, and the winning film goes to the next round, the losing film is eliminated.

 

1 Captain America: The Winter Soldier v Men In Black
 
2 Batman: Mask of the Phantasm v Captain America: Civil War
 
3 The Wolverine v The Avengers
 
4 X-Men: Days of Future Past v Doctor Strange
 
5 Guardians of the Galaxy v Hellboy II: The Golden Army
 
6 Superman v X-Men: First Class
 
7 Iron Man v Batman Begins
 
8 The Dark Knight v Captain America: The First Avenger
 


Results From Round 2

A great round for Captain America, while Spider-Man finds himself without a movie (cept for Civil War).

 

1 Captain America: The Winter Soldier (35) defeated Deadpool (3)
I'm not surprised by the result, just the margin of it! I thought Deadpool would've had a stronger following, unlucky to run into the Winter Soldier I suppose.

 
2 Ghost World (4) lost to Men In Black (31)
Ghost World has to have suffered from a lack of viewership, but Men In Black is a comedy classic.
 
3 American Splendor  (5) lost to Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (26)
Phantasm has a great following, and a lot of people will be thrilled it made it into the final 16. American Splendor is a terrific film, but perhaps doesn't have much reach.

 
4 Captain America: Civil War (32) defeated Spider-Man (6)
Civil War had a very impressive win over the original Spider-Man film, and will be looking to go far in the tournament.
 
5 300 (18) lost to The Wolverine (20)
A thriller! As the underrated The Wolverine pips Zack Snyder's 300 by only 2 votes.

 
6 Kingsman: The Secret Service (7) lost to The Avengers (31)
The Avengers, despite the quality of Kingsman, was never going to lose this early.
 
7 X-Men: Days of Future Past (23) defeated Watchmen (14)
A solid victory to Days of Future Past, as the controversial Watchmen performed admirably.

8 Blade II (9) lost to Doctor Strange (27)
The newest film on this list, Doctor Strange, is still performing stronge. Blade II a great film, but no match for the Sorcerer Supreme.
 
9 Spider-Man 2 (15) lost to Guardians of the Galaxy (21)
Most people lamented making this choice, and it is a BRUTAL 2nd round match. In the end Guardians had a fairly comfortable 6 point win.

 
10 Superman II (16) lost to Hellboy II: The Golden Army (19)
Another close match, with the classic Superman flock falling down to cult film Hellboy II (who has now taken down Superman and Batman).
 
11 Superman (30) defeated The Amazing Spider-Man (8)
The film that arguably started it all in Superman finished Spider-Man's hope of winning this tournament.

 
12 X-Men: First Class (28) defeated Man of Steel (10)
Zack Snyder's hopes are dashed, with Matthew Vaughn's X-Men film easily taking down the Man of Steel.
 
13 Blade lost to Iron Man
Iron Man took down Scott Pilgrim last round, and easily accounted for Blade this time.

 
14 Batman Begins (29) defeated X2 (9)
X2 was unlucky to face Batman Begins this early, but I think the better film won.
 
15 The Dark Knight (36) defeated Kick-Ass (2)
Kick-Ass is a great film! But, like The Avengers, The Dark Knight was never going to lose this early.

 
16 Captain America: The First Avenger (28) defeated X-Men (10)
I'm a big fan of both these films, but still find it surprising that The First Avenger won by this much. Think X-Men is vastly underrated.

@NoMeaning45 - films mean different things to different people. No shame in it!


.... you're wrong though :p

1 Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Sorry MIB, you’re outta you’re depth here.

2 Batman: Mask of the Phantasm
Dang this is a hard choice….but when it comes down to it, I’m gonna have to Batman. This film perfectly captures the characterization of Bruce, has an amazing score, brilliant animation, and created an entirely new character. And I love Civil War, but it’s flaws can’t out-do Phantasm’s perfection.

3 The Avengers
The Wolverine has a strong showing in the first two acts, but the final act ruins the film. Avengers, on the other hand, builds to a dang battle parade. Whedon’s masterpiece, hands down.

4 X-Men: Days of Future Past v Doctor Strange
I’m a big fan of Day of Future Past, even though they took away the importance of Kitty. Doctor Strange is a great Origin film, but I’m looking forward to later installments that won’t feel so clunky.

5 Guardians of the Galaxy
Hellboy is finally gonna meet his match in the round. Sad to see him go.

6 Superman v X-Men: First Class
If you’ve never watched MovieBob’s dissection of Superman, then you’re missing out. Gotta give it to Reeves.

7 Iron Man v Batman Begins
A really close call here, but I’m gonna give it to Batman Begins. Both sort of launched the genre as we know it today.

8 The Dark Knight
Cap’s least showing is a fun, campy romp, but the Dark Knight might just be the overall number 1.

@TheRose - great read. Confirming you picked Future Past though?

@ossie85 - Oh shoot, yup. Thanks for double checking. Don't know why I got lazy and forgot to delete the losing options from my write-up.

I'm bummed but not surprised that Civil War is out-doing Mask of the Phantasm. Had a nice run though.

Will never understand how Spider Man 2 got eliminated so early.
