| Mirror Mirror | Wrath of the Titans | WINNER
(1 point per category) |
| Clearest Title | Sounds Snow White-ish. | Sounds Clash of the Titans sequel-ish. | A sequel usually wins this round. Point for Titans. |
| Best Genre and Rating | Adventure/Fantasy:
Rated PG for some fantasy action and mild rude humor. | Action/Fantasy:
Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of fantasy action and violence. | Similar genres, so each movie will win a similar 1/2 point for this round. |
| Cleverest Tagline
(out of 5 stars) | "One bad apple."
3/5 Clever, especially with the picture of an evil Julia Roberts! | "Feel the wrath."
1/5. This tagline doesn't do it for me. | Feel the wrath? Come on. The infinitely better apple tagline wins this round. |
| Best Part of Trailer | It was clever and easy to watch. | Crazy special effects, awesome monsters, epic. | Crazy special effects are in every movie. While I wouldn't want to watch a Snow White movie, the trailer had substance. Point for Snow White. |
| Coolest Lead Actor | Julia Roberts from My Best Friend's Wedding, Erin Brockovich, and Pretty Woman. | Sam Worthington from Avatar, Clash of the Titans, and Terminator Salvation. | While I wanted Sam to be nominated for an Oscar for Avatar (for real), Julia Roberts is still the epitome of a lead actor. Point for her. |
| Best Cast | Lily Collins (little sister from The Blind Side), Armie Hammer (twin from The Social Network), Nathan Lane (Producers), and Sean Bean (Lord of the Rings) | Liam Neeson (Taken), Ralph Fiennes (Harry Potter), and Bill Nighy (Love Actually). | I think Liam and Ralph can run circles around the cast of Mirror, Mirror. Point for the Titans. |
| Best Street Cred For the production | Director Tarsem Singh has also directed The Cell and Immortals. | Director Jonathan Liebesman has also directed Battle Los Angeles and Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. | Both directors are starting to earn their street cred. This weekend could help them. They'll split the point for now. |
