A Marvel Fanboy Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 EMPIRE has bigger name while TOTAL FILM has older name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Total Film failed in Portugal. It was here for 4 months or so and after that it ended. Empire is still here and it was always my favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanboy Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Empire by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanboy Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 To be fair though, I have only read one issue of Total Film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acsc1312 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I'd go with Empire. I've bought a couple of Total Film, but Empire is better written and has cooler features, I think. That and now they have an iPad app for the US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) I hate both because they have no credibility and pander to much to their favorite film-makers. I mena, neither had guts to admit what gigantic piles of shit were TPM, AOTC, TLB,etc.But I`ll pick Empire as worse cause they put Shitto in their Star Trek:Next Generation line up for 2004. That read`s now a damn good laugh but I still hate them for promoting that black hole of screen time.

CoolioD1 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I don't know, I've read some of both, and they're pretty much the same to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 both are great. Far better than any American movie magazine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 I love both, but if I had to choose I'd go with Total Film. Its a bit more colorful and fun to read. Empire is classier, though, and has overall better reviews and articles. But then again, Total Film's dvd-section is much better than Empires. I also like my country's only movie magazine, Episodi. Its actually a damn good film publication with high quality articles and reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Empire. Eeeeeeeasily Empire. I've been a subscriber for two years now, and it's oodles better than Total Film. Their special features fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddddeeee Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I buy both. Empire's normally better for extras, I must have 4 or 5 TDKR posters by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 I also sometimes buy SFX for the reviews. Too bad the rest of the magazine is just a huge Doctor Who circle jerk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acsc1312 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I think Total Film can be a little too "busy" with their stuff (at least from what I've bought). It felt like 40million things were on one page. Empire is a little more sleek (and had an amazing TDKR issue). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Oh yeah, Empires TDKR issue was ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Empire is better and the reviews are classier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Homer Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Empire, of course. I still have fond memories of picking up my first issue back in '89. And they get props for not giving into mindless Lucas hate like so many film magazines (cough*SFX*) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
