First and foremost I, as I am sure you all are, live in hope this IMDB announcement is a fake.

Right onto the next matchup

A View To A Kill vs Spectre

AVTAK first. I may be in the minority but I like this PTS. It features a solid action sequence, and starts off moody and atmospheric. We all now that some ill fated Beach Boys music spoils it somewhat, but I still like it.

Spectre's PTS was much lauded, with good reason. An excellent long take through the festival followed by the superb helicopter action scene. One small note, how in this day and age are the back screen shots(inside the chopper and the collapsing building) so glaringly obvious? Still a great sequence.

My vote: Spectre

SPECTRE. Possibly the best part of SPECTRE, but still.

Spectre beats it. The crowd, the parade, the fight scene, everything just beats it.

Spectre because it is better, while AVTAK is worse.

Now, this is a signature gun, and that is an optical palm reader.

Aaargh !!! I wish these 2 wouldn't have been put face to face because I reeeeaally like AVTAK pretitle sequence and I think it's underrated.

But I gotta go with Spectre as it has everything : a mysterious lady, an awesome exotic setting, an exciting fight in a helicopter, appropriate music (yes...I'm talking about you, "california girls" !), and most of all a beautiful and well handled unbroken take.

So I vote Spectre.

Spectre. If you hurry you might be able to finish the tournament before the deadline.

AVTAK's got thrilling John Barry action music and fine stunts but is destroyed by the California Girls intrusion. It's far more annoying to me than the double taking pigeon in MR(which truthfully never bothered me) ever was.

With its opening shot Orson Welles tribute, I vote for SPECTRE.
