Is Argo a better movie than Zero Dark Thirty?

Or is it the other way around? I want to watch one of them at the movie theater, but they'll be pulled out in like 2 days so I can only watch one (dont have that much to pay for both)

I will obviously watch the other one when it's out on DVD, but I'd like to hear which one should be the "priority"

I haven't seen Zero Dark Thirty, but I have no clue how it could be better than Argo. Argo was incredible.

Argo was tremendous.  Probably my favorite film from 2012.  Zero Dark Thirty was really good, in my top 3 or 4, but for me Argo was the perfect mixture of a great film, and compelling story, as well as being profusely entertaining.  You really can't go wrong with either one though.

Potentially...

Potentially not...

But the answer is yes. And no. Simultaneously....

Argo is better, but not as important to see on the big screen as Zero Dark Thirty. Hope that helps.

I haven't seen these 2 films yet.

Didn't like Argo too much... The suspense at the end was good though.leeveeu

I havent seen Argo, but I thought Zero Dark Thirty was pretty slow at times.

I went with ZDT and was really dissapointed...Biggelow's movies are definitely not for me. I'm seriously sure that it just got all that critical praise because it was the movie that depicted the asssassination of the world's most hated man.lightleggy

Should've mentioned it wasn't better than The Hurt Locker, especially if you follow the news. Reviews said ending was intense ... Least most people weren't aware of the story behind Argo.

Only seen Argo so I can't say.Swanogt19

Argo is a great film but it is cinematic fluff compared to Zero Dark Thirty.SaintLeonidas

Well put.

Should be seeing it a second time this weekend. :D

Argo is thoroughly boring filmmaking and easily Affleck's worst as a director haven't seen ZDTWolfattheDoor34

Argo is better than The Town. At least with Argo Affleck wasn't trying his hardest to create a Scorsese/Mann flick.

I enjoyed Argo more even though it relied strongly on convention. I do need to see Affleck's other stuff though.

Quite divided opinions on this.

ZDT was pretty damn average. The film felt like it was going no where for the first 3 quarters or so.

I didn't care for the charecters at all in ZDT. Also while I am fine with having liberty and creative freedom, I felt some details in ZDT were just plain stupid. "No one drives an SUV in Pakistan" 

The fvck? Everybody fvcking does. 

Also, the embassy in the film had the worst security ever.

Well I haven't seen either movie, so I'll have to vote for Tommy Wiseau's masterpiece
