The MTV Movie Awards nominees in the Best Fight category cover a wide range of fisticuffs, from the shootout in "Django Unchained" to the train-hopping brawl in "Skyfall." All five nominees are worthy of praise, and all are deserving entrants into the category.
But two entries in the category managed to up the ante for fight scenes in two very different ways. This being Splash Page, of course we're talking about Batman vs. Bane in "The Dark Knight Rises" and the Avengers vs. Loki and the Chitauri in "Marvel's the Avengers." The former fight was up-close and personal as two physical powerhouses clashed, leaving one of them utterly broken. The latter was quite possibly the most epic all-out war ever captured in a superhero film.
If you need a reminder of just how intense both of these throw downs were, check out the videos below. Don't forget to vote for your favorite and tune in to the 2013 MTV Movie Awards, Sunday April 14th at 9 p.m.
MTV Movie Awards: Vote Hulk For Best Hero

The 2013 MTV Movie Awards are this Sunday, April 14th. The fate of one category, Best Hero, rests in your social-media-savvy hands. In this rousing opinion piece, Splash Page writer Eddie Wright passionately explains why Hulk deserves your vote.
Hulk smash. Two words, yet so much meaning. What did the those two words mean for movie-goers in 2012? What exactly did Hulk smash? Why did he smash it? And will he smash it again? Let's take a look at why 2012 was the year of the most deserving nominee for Best Hero at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards, "Marvel's The Avengers'" Hulk.
Last year, Hulk was the black sheep of the Marvel movie universe. Sure, there had been bigger Marvel-based clunkers like "Fantastic Four," "The Punisher," "Ghost Rider," and "Daredevil," but Hulk was part of something bigger. The Hulk was part of the newly streamlined Marvel Studios movie universe. He was a character fully licensed and produced by the very comic company that created him. The Marvel Studios movie universe (or MSMU as no one calls it) was something special after "Iron Man" in 2008. The second Nick Fury showed up after the end credits and told Tony Stark that he was part of a larger world full of super-powered nutbars and costumed weirdos, the Marvel movies began to form into a cohesive whole, structured similarly to their comic book counterparts. And after "Iron Man" set the table by netting nearly $600 million, it was up to the big green guy to smash it to bits with "The Incredible Hulk," the second theatrical Hulk outing following Ang Lee's Freudian freakfest (which I kind of love) "Hulk."
