It´s double fun to watch old movie fights, when you already know definitive answers to prediction questions. So many good picks and deep cuts answers that came to life.

Silence of the Lambs is a dark movie. Se7en is a dark movie. Man of Steel IS NOT - in any way, shape or form - a 'dark' movie.

There isn't a person who goes to see Star Wars that won't also go see avengers age of ultron. However, everyone who goes to see avengers won't necessarily go see Star Wars. That's pretty undeniable but nobody raised it. Star Wars keeps rolling out movies and they stink. I'll still see it, but I'll rent it from my living room on my laptop when it's $2 on iTunes. Christopher Nolan's Interstellar looks amazing! That's a movie I can't wait to go see, by the way!

I wish this was still a thing

awww, no Nick Mundy???

Marvel fanboys attack DC for their darker tone but once Marvel brings out a darker tone movie they drool over it...

You guys need to understand that board games go way beyond monopoly and battleship. There are likely thousands of new games coming out this year at Essen alone. They have themes ranging from organized crime to pirates to discovering a new continent to the Cthulu mythos. All of which would make a great story. A common stigma board games carry. Stop buying board games at Walmart. There's so much better out there.

I am Officially addicted to these video Debates lol

I cannot believe they said Man of Steel was depressing. It's okay if you didn't like it, but depressing? It's the story of a young kid growing up through complications of not being like everyone else and finding the strength to overcome his fears once realizing its up to him to save the human race. I was smiling throughout the whole film amazed at the visuals and fight scenes and especially at the end when we see him as the iconic Clark Kent character while Zimmer's score ends the film at full volume.

I'm sick of the Hawkeye bashing by youtubers at this point. Yes he wasn't as big in the Avengers as the others were, him being mind controlled didn't help, but people just seem to think that that was all Barton has to offer. Clint Barton is one of the most important and loyal Avengers ever, on top of that if they used his character to its potential he could be huge (see Avengers:EMH). Its kinda got to be this hipster thing that if you mention you Avengers you have to mention how Hawkeye didn't have a moment like Hulk did. Give Hawkeye the space to show how awesome he is and he would surprise everyone, just like Cap did in Winter Soldier.

I miss Hal getting involved in the fights, he always brings great passion and arguments

I don't think Guardians of the Galaxy was a good sci fi movie. I liked it, I think it's a good _movie_ but not a good _science fiction_ movie. I disagree with the idea that GotG scratched the sci fi itch. Even though Marvel has a huge following, I think Star Wars could still end up on top. Star Wars is an icon of human culture, there's a huge fanbase behind it, whereas Marvel seems to have gotten its bulk from newcomers that got sucked in by the newer movies and have no familiarity with the comics.

I'm 17 years old and if I could only watch either AAoU or Star Wars, I'd pick Star Wars hands down. I think AAoU will win the box office though simply because many kids these days had to grow up with the prequels (and were turned off by them) and/or don't have the attention span to watch the originals

Marvel cant do no wrong huh... Thor - meh Ironman 2 - shitty Thor 2 - Hot Garbage Ironman 3 - poke my eyes out please. Believe me marvel can fuck this up.

Whoever set up that wide camera doesn't like Spencer :(

It's safe to say now that STAR WARS will be bigger than Avengers by the end of the year :)

Thank god, no Nick Mundy

If ultron saying "I have no strings" wasn't cool, I don't know what is

I prefer the earlier movie fights when it was just the usual screen junkies crew and didn't last forever. don't get me wrong I still enjoy movie fights but I do feel the fights go on way too long now compared to the older ones which were 5-8 minutes per fight.

I love this so much, plz never stop these it's awesome!

Im guessing they didnt like man of steel. I thought the movie was great.

So many fan-boys in one place. I'm just happy to live in a golden age of comic book movies from both Marvel and DC.

My grandparents in Texas used to (maybe still) have a board game of Jumanji. It's pretty fun for the most part.

Came back to re-watch a classic. Not only were they WAY wrong about Star Wars v Avengers...they also were wrong about this generation not caring about Star Wars. It is beyond huge with ALL ages. And, they also joked about not seeing old Han Solo the whole movie....and the fact that Han Solo was in it (not limping around) most of the movie was amazing.

Exactly man of steel was a terrible, gloomy, depressing movie. Not once did i feel superman represented hope..not once

Who is going to dominate? Avengers or Star Wars? All we know that the answer is Disney. They have become too powerful to be stopped.

I thoroughly enjoyed this! Thank you guys!

These are awesome, please include more people who we don't often see on your channel, maybe throw in some live messages from fans in once or twice to spice it up a little!

I am 18 and an average teenager and I would say that most of us aren't interested in Star Wars. I saw 1-3 (not the "good ones") when I was a kid and didn't really like them then either. They were too long and boring to me when I was a kid, and even though I just recently watched 1-6 I still didn't really enjoy them. Perhaps the films are made for an older generation. I will see avengers 2 in theaters and probably wait to see star wars till its out on Redbox. It just doesn't interest me!

*Perfect Episode* I did not, personally, like some of the topics or questions. But ALL of the players had well explained answers that felt like they had the time to explain what they had to say. No one really felt rushed or stepped on. And everyone explained their points VERY WELL. The host took part in a very fun and impartial way, and the questions moved along very fluidly and naturally. All of my previous suggestions seemed to have been listened to for this. So I'd like to say thank you to Screen Junkies and the Schmoes Know for listening. Great job. *Question for next week*: A number of characters have been confirmed for Age of Ultron, if you could choose one character from the comics to make a cameo appearance, who would you choose? (Not who you think will appear, but who you'd like to)

guys! all of you rock! what a great debate that was... i found my self talking to the t.v. morer than once! haha! really cool all and all! really hard topics too! great job and keep it coming! what ever the subjetcs! :)

Love this series, please keep up I need my movie fights every week =D

Board games aren't irrelevant, shitty boardgames from the 70s and 80s are irrelevant. There's an entirely new spate of board games created by good designers - and they have beginnings, middles, and ends. Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride, Agricola, Smallworld - the old days of shitty board games that slog on forever and ever are mostly relegated to people who have not bought a board game in decades. Having said that, a movie based on a board game is almost always a dumb idea, and tends to just get pasted onto an existing concept. You'd have to pick one with fairly unique theming in order for it not to seem like a dubious connection.

I have a suggestion : Best Computer Animated Non Pixar film. My vote goes to Shrek 2

I feel like Hal would do a great Heath Ledger impression

"They are still letting Hawk Eye pretend he's on the Avengers" LMAO

I feel so bad for Jai Courtney. Obviously nobody on the panel saw him in Spartacus where he was a fantastic character (and played him beautifully). The guy has not had a single good role since his move to Hollywierd.

I cant believe I am watching this. I really need a life.....like REALLY.

great discussion guys

Love coming back to the good fights, laughing at these guys thinking Marvel would do dark 😂

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I prefer more serious Super Hero movies. TDKtrilogy, loved it. MoS loved it. Avengers.. meh. Avengers AoU actually looks really cool, (and that's coming from someone who didn't like the first film), and it's possible that it's because Marvel is taking itself seriously this time around.

Hey Screen Junkies. Really loved the show! Was wondering if you could do an honest trailer for one of my favourite 80's movies: The Goonies

Being here after Endgame is weird af. All the theories about AOU, hearing them talking about setting up phase 3 and now knowing how Phase 3 ends and knowing the slate for Phase 4. How they completely revamped Thor and made him the first hero to get 4 films it’s crazy. Also concerns about AOU being depressing... ‘I love you 3000’ 😥

I love these guys! Don't ever stop.

The real winner of 2015 is Andy Serkis. He is going to be in Avengers 2 and Star Wars VII

HOW about some Halloween questions for you guys: - What is more scary: the more practical special effects of the olden days, or the modern CGI business? - Who pulls off the more realistic zombie if it were to occur in real life: George Romero, Rob Zombie, Danny Boyle and 28 days later, Walking Dead, World War Z, etc. - Best Stephen King Movie of all time? - What's a bigger terror : The Thing or The Body Snatchers? - Best vampire portrayal in a movie. (Since the new Dracula is coming out.) - Are classic monster movies able to get rebooted in the modern era? - What horror movie trend should die first: Slasher Flicks, Shaky Camera movies, or Paranormal ghost movies? Just a few suggestions.

I've been recommending these fights since the first episode: The best Christopher Nolan movie, best Stanley Kubrick movie, best Tarantino movie. I would love to see you guys debate about at least one of these.

I would like to see a debate on best time travel movie and how plausible are time travel movies in general.

Shoots & Ladders Starring Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller.

Although Cap winter soldier was palpably darker than preceding marvel movies, I feel like Avengers age of Ultron will be a lot more grave and dark than anything we've seen before in a marvel movie. This could also be the first time we see a marvel film where the villain prevails and also one which holds more psychological edge than other marvel films. Just looking at Ultron from the trailer, he'll set a more creepy and terrifying spin on the marvel universe which will lead to destruction, not of buildings, but of the Avengers themselves.

Can you guys mark each round start on the progress bar?

Hey Screen Junkies, I have a question for next week's Movie Fights: what DC superhero do you want to see in a movie? It doesn't have to be a solo movie, could be a member in JL Part I or II. I personally pick Firestorm.

OMG MY QUESTION WAS THE FIRST DEBATE!!!!!! Yay. :)

Best Slasher: Alien. Iconic and terrifying design and concept. It obeys the most basic slasher rules. The twist is from the time the xenomorph bursts out IT is technically victim being hunted. It doesn't actively go after the crew until they give up and try to escape. There are so many memorable scenes, tense moments, and the camera work left enough to the imagination without distracting viewer. It revolutionized not just the slasher genre, but horror and sci-fi as well.

gotta love that "Hulk Destroyer" armor

Loving the Expos shirt, Hal!

It's bullshit to say Age of Ultron needs to be like the first Avengers. Everything has been clearly set up from the beginning. Avengers one build was the team being created and gathering despite their differences and being triumphant: the origin. The build up for Ultron has been clear from the start. Iron Man 3 was Stark, who never took heroism seriously, getting PTSD from the job and ultimately deciding it wasn't for him. Winter Soldier was Captain America being disillusioned with the way modern government functions and SHIELD, which started it all, disbanding. Thor 2 forced Thor to join with his enemy to save the universe, only for his enemy to usurp the throne to his land. It's all been building for the team's fall. The third build up will be them recovering and reuniting.

I agree with Hal about the trailer. The first Avengers film was too bright and goofy. The second one needs a darker edge

If you debate one of these that would be GREAT! :) What is the best reboot of all time? Best Nicolas Cage movie? or Best Animated Movie of all time?

These have become my favorite videos on KZfaq! Keep making them please! Here's a suggestion for a topic to debate, which movie do you think will be overall better Batman vs Superman or Captain America: Civil War?

Nick Mundy should have a permeant seat on this show!

Space Balls 2: The Search for more money. Do you think its time?

I hope you guys talk about the new Marvel Phase three line up next. Cause That's got me so excited.

it would be awesome if you would end episodes like these with an actual fight between the main characters of the debated movies in claymation or robot chicken styler :)

I'm getting a strong impression that all of the staff at Screen Junkies are Marvel fanboys, and all they look for in action movies is action. Not to say that there is anything wrong with it, just a bit surprised how they all agree that Marvel can do no wrong, when it only had 3 good movies in a row.

hulk destroyer? I thought it was called hulk buster.

The pre-sale tickets just killed everything Dan said about Avengers beating Star Wars hahaha.

Seriously the podcast is a brilliant idea. keep it up friends at Screen Junkies! I IMPLORE YOU TO DO NEVER STOP DOING WHAT YOU DO! ps Honest Trailers- Please Do WATCHMEN! AKA. "Everyone's Forgotten Great Comic-Cinematic Adventures"

Too much Star Wars nostalgia in this. It may have been relevant 30 years ago, but it doesn't hold a candle to the Avengers now.

Without Nick there, the announcer is doing all the counter arguments and bringing up some good & bad points. You guys need nick on the show because without him its kinda boring. Nobody sounds really engaged in this. I like this show but this is the weaker episode.

What Marvel comic book mini-series would you like to see on film? I would love to see a trilogy on The Secret Wars.

Fun fact! My family and I always watch the nightmare before Christmas on thanksgiving!

People don't like Jumanji?

Man of steel was great for the representation of what DC is trying to achieve What don't you people get. MARVEL: Are Mutants or accidents that become these heroes and have other worldly adventures with some dark overtones at times but mostly light. DC: Are Gods and vigilantist that deal with real world repercussions with a darker tone and feeling of threat .

I think board game movies CAN be good. It may be hard to imagine, but think about Scott Pilgrim vs the World. Edgar Wright proved that video game movies can be awesome, but also very different from what we're used to. I think this shows that a director or writer with great creativity and vision can pull anything off, in a way unheard of.

Hi guys, in the context of the Warcraft movie it would be cool to hear your thoughts on different trends in video game movie adaptations: Stand-alone movies (e.g. Prince of Persia) vs Franchises (Resident Evil) vs Work of Uwe Boll

Johnny Depp as Doctor Strange?

Are you really bashing Andy Serkis' acting ability? If he can do what he doesn in performance capture, what makes you think he can't act outside of that?

Watching that last round now makes me want to pull my hair out😂 none of them know what they’re talking about

Hey Hal....Nice T-shirt! God knows we want them back!

This video is so hilarious today! Hal Rudnick FTW!

Do the people at Screen Junkies know that movies exist outside of geek culture. I dig the energy and vibe you guys give off, but I wish it was more focused on a wider ranger of topics. Can you speak about westerns, musicals, and avant garde films? What about international cinema? What about movies from past era's of hollywood like the 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, and 70's? I think you'll eventually burnout your audience if all you do is speak about superhero movies and fantasy properties every week. Again, I like the show. I just wish the content was a bit more varied.

I love those debates :) With new Fast Furious 7 trailer, here's my suggestions: Will Fast and Furious 7 be good? Will it be the last of the franchise or at leat the last with current crew?

Here are some questions that I think would be great for the show. 1. If you could kill any movie franchise (Guarantee that no more movies would be made) which would you pick and why? 2. If you could give any movie your dream sequel which would it be (extra points for details such cast, director, etc), and why? 3. Which movie Monster would you say is the scariest and why?

LOL, Star Wars pre-sale tickets is already like 54 mil, and that's like half of avengers 2, ahahhhahahaahha, even if the movies shit, it's makin WAY more than avengers

I hope no one in the movie actually dies besides the villains or black widow

What original franchise would you most like to see made into a movie? Video games, comics/book, tabletop games ect. Halo, warhammer/ 40k for example

After Marvel's big announcement on Tuesday, which lineup of films are you more excited for: Marvel or DC?

FIGHT 1: Who Will Dominate the 2015 Box Office - Star Wars or Avengers: Age of Ultron?: I love the Avengers, but Star Wars will bring the bank. It always does. FIGHT 2: Best Keanu Reeves Movie?: Point Break (definitive Keanu movie, like he said, no one else could play that role and have the movie come out great) FIGHT 3: Can We Take Johnny Depp Seriously Anymore?: No, too many kitch roles lately. Serious stuff he does fine, but he's taken too many "character-actor" roles lately where he's a goof. FIGHT 4: Terminator Genisys: Should Arnold Be In It?: Not as a terminator. There are other ways to use him. Introduce him as a character attached to the origin in some way of the Terminator robots - it would make sense that some models were patterned after him. FIGHT 5: Do We Want a New Pee-Wee Movie?: As long as it doesn't pretend to be a kids movie and is not marketed to kids. His stage show was awesome as adult-oriented comedy. FIGHT 7: Can A Movie Based On A Board Game Be Any Good?: Yes, but the game should have some great thematic elements to begin with. There are lots of great games, it's sad that all these guys know of is kids crap like candlyland and monopoloy. There are a wealth of intense board games out there that have some great story elements attached that can make for great movies. Silent Death, Battletech, Hero Quest, Heroscape, Warhammer 40k... FIGHT 8: Best Slasher Franchise: Nightmare on Elm St vs. Halloween vs. Friday the 13th vs. Scream vs. Child's Play vs. Saw: Nightmare on Elm Street. If you're going to have a character that ends up being "out there" just pick a franchise where the character is already there: A maniac who lives in the dream world.

Thank god Nick Mundy isn't there He's honestly annoying and gets angry I just feel decking him in the face

The Andy Serkis comment killed me XDDDD

I liked it all, very good opinions and fantastic way to bring them out might be a bit hard to choose who gets the points

I'm sick and tired of the equation that Dark=Bad. Man of Steel and Dark Night Rises were subpar movies. Those are TWO bad dark superhero movies that nerds have used as a referendum on Dark comic movies with that as the rubric. There have been loads of Bad Superhero movies that had lighter tones, Green lantern,Batman and Robin, ect. It doesn't matter what tone a comic movie takes, thats a matter of preference, it does not determine weather a movie is going to be good that depends on other factors.

Honestly, Age of Ultron is gonna get more money. Star Wars is probably gonna beat the Billion Mark but Age of Ultron is most likely going around 1.5 seeing how much fucking people saw the trailer.

Man! Andy was so wrong about Star Wars Vs Avengers. Avengers 2 made less than the first one, and Star Wars is shattering every box office record imaginable.

Good episode!

NO! I WANT MUNDY NOWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

I think Star Wars will win. Kids even today are being introduced to the movies as we speak. I was introduced to Star Wars for the first time 15 years ago and I never was the same.

Questions: - Do you feel splitting the last movie of a franchise into two pieces is good or bad? (eg: harry potter, divergent, hunger games, hobbit from 2 to 3 movies) - Favourite Horror movie in the last 4 years? - Do you think Avengers 3 will have Thanos erasing the Marvel universe as we know it, and rebooting the all the franchises with new actors?

Awesome guys, very awesome. Ideas for next fight: Who's the wrost director of today? Michael Bay vs M. Night Shyamalan vs some other terrible director. Can an anime series be made into a live action film and be.... Good? (Dragonball Evolved and The Last Airbender where just just sinful)
