Endgame is a far better movie, but actionwise I think Civil War has the better set pieces. So Civil War. And Rouge Un.

Because I'm the hero you deserve, but not the one you need right now, I'm making a final verdict. As the host of said tournament, we will retract my vote, which means that the winner of the final match is The Kingsman. Both Kingsman and Civil War advance, officially closing out round 1.

Round 2 will begin shortly.

The single-shot fight in Atomic Blonde is better than most of MI:GP, but MI:GP probably has a higher quantity of good action and is generally more watchable.

So, Ghost Protocol.
