(1 point per category)
|
| Clearest Title | This unfortunately sounds like the third Alvin movie. | This excitingly sounds like the second Sherlock movie. | This potentially excitingly sounds like the fourth Mission: Impossible movie. | This doesn't sound like a movie. | The first three blockbusters will divide the point three ways for having the clearest title. |
Best Genre

Rated G
| Action:
Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, and some drug material
| Action:
Rated PG-13 for sequences of intense action and violence
| Dramedy:
Rated R for language and some sexual content
| Chipmunks and Young Adult will split the point for not being action films. |
Cleverest Tagline
(out of 5 stars) | N/A
| N/A
| "No Plan. No Back up. No Choice"
Oooh, that sounds like a good movie. 4/5
| "Everyone gets old. Not everyone grows up."
That was profound. 3/5
| If you choose to accept it, Mission: Impossible easily wins this round. |
| Best Part of Trailer | I have to admit, I laughed twice ("My Precious" and the Gaga song). | That was beautiful to watch. Stylish. Action. Robert Downey Jr. | Forget the last trailer- this was even more beautiful to watch. Stylish. Action. Paula Patton. | It was quirky and interesting to watch. | I thought Sherlock Holmes was good, but then I watched Mission Impossible. Sweet mother - that one wins. |
| Coolest Lead Actor | Jason Lee from the first two movies and My Name is Earl | Robert Downey Jr. from Iron Man and Tropic Thunder. | Tom Cruise from Top Gun, Jerry Maguire, and Minority Report. | Charlize Theron from The Italian Job, Monster, and Hancock. | Tough call- I'll let all four split the point (you're welcome, Jason Lee).
|
| Best Cast | Phyllis Smith and Andy Buckley from the Office and the voices of Justin Long, Jesse McCartney, Amy Poehler, Anna Farris, Christina Applegate. | Jude Law (Cold Mountain), Noomi Rapace (Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), Rachel McAdams (Mean Girls), | Paula Patton (Deja Vu), Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead), Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker) | Patrick Wilson (Phantom of the Opera) and Patton Oswalt (The King of Queens) | It's almost Christmas, who am I to pick which cast is cooler, 1/4th point each again! |
Best Street Cred
For the Production | Director Mike Mitchell also directed Shrek Forever After, Surviving Christmas, Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo. | Director Guy Ritchie has also directed Sherlock Holmes, Snatch, and RocknRolla. | Director Brad Bird has also directed The Incredibles and Ratatouille. | Director Jason Reitman has also directed Up in the Air and Juno. | The Pixar guy is directing Mission: Impossible? I'll let him split the point with Jason Reitman. |
