Catching Fire VS The Dark Knight Rises

[Phil in the Blank]

This shouldn't even be a thread for at least a couple of months. People always get caught up in the hype of a new release.

Where are all the fake acounts coming from, that are voting for CF. 

[Walt Disney]

I can't vote because I haven't seen CF and don't plan to. I saw The Hunger games and I didn't like it. Therefore, I won't be seeing the sequel.

 

However, even though I will not vote, I can say that if I did see CF, I would vote for TDKR.

[Gopher]

CF, no question. It also feels about an hour less than TDKR despite only running 20 minutes short. 

[The Panda]

Catching Fire based off the mere fact The Dark Knight Rises was a let down and Catching Fire was a pleasant surprise, plus Catching Fire was a better movie.

Just going to say I disliked the Hunger Games but I liked Catching Fire (really liked it actually), it's a major step up from it and fixes many of the problems.  I had your opinion before I saw it but I'll say it converted me.

The Dark Knight Rises OWNs, not even close.

[The Stingray]

TDKR, for sure.

[The Toymaker]

I disliked The Dark Knight Rises, but it wins this poll by a country mile. Catching Fire is shockingly bad.

So true. TDKR dragged like a motherfucka.

I saw TDKR but never consider a second viewing.I saw CF and watched it for a second time 2 days later.

That's your opinion, deal with it. TDKR has higher rating EVERYWHERE. Period.

And I'll quote your ass right back:

This is so much fun! Let's again, re-quote you again:

TDKR is better reviewed, it's not really a matter of opinion.

TDKR is better reviewed, it's not really a matter of opinion.

Except on Rotten Tomatoes,where it's currently 1% behind Catching Fire. And 4% behind when it comes to audience ratings.

 

In hindsight, perhaps next time you should actually check before claiming something like that.

Nope. As already stated, CF is a tad bit higher.

 

Not that it really matters. I don't care for what the critics say, in terms of debating which is better.

It has far better avg. rating on RT than CF and better rating too in IMDB. 

[B J]

I watched TDKR 6 times in theaters , epic greatness.

Never use the imdb rating as a trustworthy source, ESPECIALLY on a film with Nolan's name attached.The ratings are heavily skewed based on fanboys who spam rate a film in order to prove a point or something.

biased much? you don't like Nolan, therefore, IMDB ratings are not trustworthy cause Nolan films are praised (deservedly so) over there  . Typical hater bs.
