| This is the End | Man of Steel | WINNER
(1 point per category) |
| Clearest Title | This title doesn’t tell me anything. | This title used to be my nickname in high school.* | Superman’s nickname will win the first point. |
Best Genre
and Rating | Action/Comedy
Rated R for crude and sexual content throughout, brief graphic nudity, pervasive language, drug use and some violence | Action/Sci-Fi
Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence, action and destruction, and for some language | Two different ratings. A 1/2 point each. |
Best Plot
(in haiku form) | The rapture happens
How do famous stars react
All played by themselves | Bad guy from planet
Demands Superman or else
He’ll destroy the Earth. | Both plots seem very interesting. Another 1/2 point each.
|
| Best Trailer | PROS: Famous celebrities playing themselves during the rapture. And an amazing Emma Watson cameo
CONS: Some parts may be stupid (this may not be a con, though) | PROS: The trailer where Superman is fighting looked epic
CONS: The other trailer about Superman’s childhood looked boring | I saw trailers for both movies. This is the End’s trailer is the one that makes me want to buy a movie ticket. |
| Coolest Lead Actor | James Franco from 127 Hours, Spider-Man, and Oz. | Henry Cavill from Immortals and The Tudors. | James Franco is the cooler actor. Point for This is the End. |
| Best Cast | Jonah Hill (Superbad), Seth Rogen (Knocked Up), Craig Robinson (The Office), Michael Cera (Arrested Development), Emma Watson (Harry Potter), Rihanna, and a ton more! | Amy Adams (Enchanted), Diane Lane (Unfaithful), Russell Crowe (Gladiator), Kevin Costner (Dancing with Wolves), and many more! | At first, I didn’t think Man of Steel had a chance of matching the cast of This is the End. I was wrong. One more 1/2 point each.
|
Best Street Cred
For the Production | Writers and Directors Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen also wrote Superbad and Pineapple Express. | Director Zack Snyder also directed 300 and Watchmen. | All three gentlemen are talented guys. Zack will win 1/2 point, and Evan and Seth will each win 1/4 point. |
