I mean, which is more spectacular?

There's a thin gap between skepticism and cynicism

I would say this one is more spectacular. Ivan has is spectacular in it's own claustrophobic scary way (and of course the siege scene), but Nevski has a lot more old fashioned 'hugebattleontheice' kind of spectacle :)

I'd say Ivan by a long shot in terms of direction, philosophy and acting.
