The 2nd Annual Capey Awards: Movies

The votes have been cast, the points have been tallied, and the winners have been chosen. Welcome to the results to the 2nd annual Capey Awards. Your favorite Caped Informers got together and decided what was the best of the best in Superhero films in 2014. Well, Jabba looks excited let's get started!

Did someone say the Capey Awards?

Comic Movie of The Year
Amazing Spiderman 2
Captain America: The Winter Solider
Guardians of The Galaxy
TMNT
X-Men: Days Of Future Past

Winner: Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Captain America: The Winter Soldier only beat out Guardians of the Galaxy by a single vote.  So in short you could say it was a great year for Marvel Studios. Both their films were both critical and box office successes, but we gave the edge to the Captain. His 70's esque political thriller was riveting. It also helps that it had Scarlet Johansson. Never hurts to throw in a little Scarjo

Best Sci-Fi Movie of The Year
Dawn of The Planet of The Apes
Edge of Tomorrow (Live, Die, Repeat)
Godzilla
Interstellar
Snowpiercer

Winner: Dawn Of The Planet Of the Apes

This was another tough race. All five movies were excellent sci-fi, but at the end of the day we choose Dawn. The apes may have been the most compelling characters in cinema in this year. It's truly amazing how great the reboot to the classics have been.

Best Lead Hero
Captain America (Chris Evans)
Spiderman (Andrew Garfield)
Star Lord (Chris Pratt)
Wolverine (Hugh Jackman)
Caesar (Andy Serkis)

Winner: Captain America (Chris Evans)

No other hero has had as big of a character arc as Captain America has in his 3 movie appearances. He has gone from a government lap dog to full on rebel.

Best Supporting Hero
Black Widow (Scar Jo)
Falcon (Anthony Mackie)
Rocket Racoon (Bradley Cooper)
Professor X (James McAvoy)
Groot (Vin Disel)

Winner: Rocket Racoon (Bradley Cooper)

Rocket and Groot burst into the mainstream this year. It was another close race here. In the end thought the raccoon edged out the tree because of his brilliant prison escape.

Best Villain
The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan)
Ronan (Lee Pace)
HYDRA
Magneto (Michael Fassbender)
Alexander Pierce (Robert Redford)

Winner: HYDRA

HYDRA is that evil organization that you just can't help but love. HAIL HYDRA!



The Grab Bag Award
Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone)
Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence)
Quicksilver (Evan Peters)
Drax (Bautista)
Gamora (Zoe Saldana)

Winner: Quicksilver (Evan Peters)

For having easily the coolest sequence this year, Qucicksilver gets the Capey!

Best Director
Russo Bros. (Captain America: The Winter Soldier)
James Gunn (Guardians of Galaxy)
Brian Singer (X-Men: DOFP)
Matt Reeves (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes)
Chris Nolan (Interstellar)


Winner: Russo Bros. (Captain America: The Winter Soldier)

The Russo Bros. came in and took over a character that had been under-appreciated within the MCU and turned him into a star.


Best Movie Fight
Cap 2 Fighting WS on the Highway
TMNT vs. Shredder
GOTG Prison Break
X-Men Against Future Sentinels
Spidey vs. Gobby

Winner: Cap 2 Fighting WS on the Highway

Esquite knife work

Best Elevator Scene
Professor X Punching Magneto
Gwen Stacy Meeting Max Dillon/Harry Osborn
Cap Critically Injures 15 Guys
The Turtles Jam session on the elevator

Winner: Cap Critically Injures 15 Guys

2014 was truly the year of the elevator. Whether it was Gwen Stacy conveniently meeting both bad guys from Amazing Spiderman 2 or Cap beating the piss out of HYDRA agents, everything was happening on an elevator. Even in real life, shit was going down in elevators. Solange beat the shit of Jay-Z. Then Ray Rice struck his wife like the piece of shit Raven he is. Was just a crazy year behind those closed doors.

Worst Movie Villain (The Aldrin Killan Award)
Electro
Ronan
The Rhino
Green Goblin
The Shredder

Winner: Electro

Best Buds!

I have shat on Electro countless times before, so I won't do it again here. I would like to instead thank Marc Webb for providing 3 villains for this list. Great job buddy, keep up the good work. You made Aldrin Killan proud by filling out this category.

Biggest Disappointment
Amazing Spiderman 2
TMNT
Sin City: A Dame To Kill For

Winner: The Amazing Spiderman 2

Wouldn't exactly call it his greatest...

Another thank you for TASM 2, for being so bad that Sony had to run to Marvel for help. Though it is a shame you wasted Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone's talents.

Josh Appelbaum, André Nemec (Writers of TMNT)

Jonathan Liebesman (Director TMNT)

I really like True Detective in case you couldn't tell.

New 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Trailer

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles doesn't have Jim Henson-made puppet suits, but it does have a rocket skateboard! Check out the latest fun trailer for the upcoming movie featuring the Heroes in the Half-Shell.

New TMNT Trailer

Basically the same trailer as last time with added shots of each of the Turtles. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comes out in August.

Nice splinter cell glasses Donnie! Fly like a G6!

TMNT Recasts Leo and Master Splinter!

Deadline reports that Johnny Knoxville (Jackass) and Tony Shalhoub (Monk) have been cast to voice the characters of Leonardo and Master Splinter. Knoxville will being providing his voice to Pete Plozek's (Shameless) motion capture performance as the leader of the turtles Leonardo. While Shalhoub will voice over Danny Woodburn's (Seinfeld) motion capture of Splinter. It is unknown whether these actors knew that they would only be doing the motion capture. That really must suck. Michael Bay coming up to you and saying that your acting doesn't fit into his movie. That's how you know you have hit the bottom. This report comes amid reshoots with Megan Fox and Will Arnett's characters and rumors of pushing back the release date back further. So lots of things need to get done before we get to see our favorite heroes in the half-shell eat some product friendly Pizza Hut pies.  TMNT is still expected to be released August 8th.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles First Trailer!

TMNT's First Trailer to Debut alongside Captain America: TWS!

Fans have been waiting months for a look at Jonathan Liebesman's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". Well, producer Galen Walker just confirmed through Facebook that the first official trailer will be shown before viewings of the new Captain America movie. So suit up April 4th and go see Captain America: TWS to get a look at Michael Bay's vision of what a teenage mutant ninja turtle looks like. That is a scary phrase "Michael Bay's vision". Let's hope Megan Fox brings some of that "Jennifer's Body" charisma to the role of April O'Neal, so we can get past the probable Turtle bombs and loads of product placement. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is expected to open sometime in August. Go ninja, go ninja, GO!
