Catching Fire VS The Dark Knight Rises

[Phil in the Blank]

Also I'm pretty amazed at how close this poll is given the backlash against TDKR and the hype surrounding CF.

 

Go team TDKR go!

[4815162342]

TA > CF

 

TDKR > CF

 

Uncertain how TA and TDKR square off though. One's far more entertaining with many less plotting issues, and one has far more power and awe in it.

[Ezen Baklattan]

If we're doing square comparisons, I guess TA = CF > TDKR.

 

The Avengers is summer fun done right, while Catching Fire exemplifies effective drama for a big blockbuster

TDKR>CF>TA but I gave all movies 5/5

[Lordmandeep]

best way to gauge opinion is to wait a few months really.

Lol...The Avengers was a great movie and that's coming from me who isn't a Marvel fanboy (although I love a lot of their output). Very few movies carry out their purpose as effectively as the Avengers. The movie connected with people because it was just that good.

[Goffe]

I think TA and CF are very close in quality

CF is a good movie for HG fans that know the material by heart. Avengers is a good popcorn movie for comics fans and total noobs*.

 

(*I thought I would be totally bored out of my mind since I had not seen any of the MCU movies save for IM1/2 and surprisingly I was genuinely interested how the team was build up because the origin stories were out of the plot. As a matter of fact, most of the general audience just jumped on the bandwagon without getting lost and that's a testament to Whedon's script that managed to be easy enough to understand and quite self-contained for the noobs even if it is like a season finale coming after 5 episodes because that could have easily been a Marvel All Stars Showdown only appealing to fanboys).

I disagree. I had next to no prior knowledge of HG, I haven't even seen the original, but CF still managed to get me invested and engaged in the story, at least up until the actual games themselves, where I kind of lost interest.

Goffe, your signature disturbs me more than any other signature I have ever seen.

 

Congratulations.

I totally lost interest at that point and the final revelation just sealed those as pointless. But the first part, I was trying my hardest to be interested in this universe but I found it dull and repetitive:

 

Katniss is carried around in a district - Ankward speech- Rebel - Retaliation rinse/repeat with fashion exhibitions in between then the Arena. I lost interest as time was flying by. Malone and that Claflin guy tried to inject some brash bravado and witty charm but to no avail, I was no longer engrossed by the movie.(It does not help that Gale and Katniss romance feels flat as Hemsworth is wooden. I felt no attachment or genuine chemistry between them to feel their love bond so when Gale disappeared off the screen I just forgot about him).

 

(Can someone explain me what is Lenny Kravitz's purpose in this movie since I thought Elizabeth Banks is supposed to be the over-the-top Capitol fashion diva supervisor to team Katniss?)

TA vs. CF battle is really aka marvel fans vs. cf fans. This battle would go on forever.

 

With that said, my obvious vote is for CF.  TA to me was a fun film to sit back and watch, never really having to think too much.  CF had everything for me.

[Lordmandeep]

Simply put for me ta is a film I have seen 5 times now and willnsee 5 more times.I liked cf but have no yearning to watch it againJust my opinion.

[Noctis]

CF is a great film but perhaps I am a male, TA is just a nerdgasm. 

 

Perhaps you're male? Do you have a vagina underneath your penis?

 

ALSO...what does being a male have anything to do with TA over CF?

You have a point females loved TA and males loved CF but I still think one film likely is more popular with one gender nevertheless.
