Now that our Must List polling underway (did you remember to vote in yesterday’s poll: What is the best reality-competition TV show of the summer?) we want to keep the ball rolling with our next category, action movie face-offs! You know, those deliriously fun battle royales between good and evil that have us cheering from our seats (or sometimes, watching through our fingers). Was it renegade Kirk (Chris Pine) going toe-to-toe with Nero (Eric Bana) in Star Trek? Was it the epic war of sideburns (that was what they were fighting over, right?) between Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) and Sabertooth (Liev Schrieber) in X-Men Origins: Wolverine that got you fired up? Or does the horn-locking in Terminator Salvation and The Taking of Pelham 123 have you psyched? Pick a side and let’s have a clean fight!

Autobots vs. Decepticons.
The real question is gonna be which is the biggest popcorn movie of the summer. Star Trek or Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen?
Autobots vs. Decepticons!!!!!!!!!!!!
For me, it’s Harry vs Snape… or even Johnny vs Christian in Public Enemies.
I wonder who’ll gross more: HP6 or Transformers 2? Probably the latter…
Harry Potter has the top summer movie prize in the bag!
I agree with the others who say it’s none of the choices on the list, but instead it’s Harry vs. Snape in the forthcoming Half-Blood Prince movie. Or perhaps Harry vs. Voldemort since old Voldy’s pulling the strings, even he and Harry don’t face each other. Or even Snape vs. Voldemort, since those of us who read the book know Snape’s true allegiance and motives. At any rate, that’s going to be the movie of the summer. Nero was hardly a worthy villain in the mold of Khan, and Chris Pine’s Kirk isn’t worthy of wearing Shatner’s boots.
Yeah, if we’re going to vote on movies that haven’t come out yet, how about putting the Autobots vs. Decepticons instead of Travolta vs. Washington in “Pelham”.
My people have spoken. Let’s get this poll fixed to reflect their voice.
I totally agree with the Johnny versus Christian in Public Enemies bit.
