Ridley Scott vs. James Cameron | Rotten Tomatoes

It’s the first ever director face-off in our ‘Vs.’ series, and it’s an epic battle between two of the most influential filmmakers of our time – especially when it comes to action and sci-fi cinema. In the one corner you have Sir Ridley Scott, the man who gave us ‘Alien,’ ‘Blade Runner,’ ‘Gladiator,’ and… ‘The Counselor’. (Mean, we know.) In the other corner: the man who gave us ‘Aliens,’ ‘The Terminator,’ ‘Titanic,’ and… ‘Piranha II: The Spawning.’ (Really.) Which director comes out on top when it comes to box office, Tomatometer and Audience Score, influence, and more? Rotten Tomatoes Contributing Editor Mark Ellis is crunching the numbers and making the big calls and, as ever, if you don’t agree with the verdict, let us know in the comments.
