"Hitting cinemas for special Valentine&amp;#039;s Day previews tomorrow (February 14), This Means War sees Chris Pine and Tom Hardy play spies duking it out for the affections of Reese Witherspoon. It&amp;#039;s a testosterone fuelled face-off between two of Hollywood&amp;#039;s hottest new stars, but who emerges as the winner based on Digital Spy&amp;#039;s game of Movie Top Trumps?  We take a look back at Pine and Hardy&amp;#039;s careers so far to find a winner! Who had the best debut role? Both men got their starts on big American TV shows. Blink and you&amp;#039;ll miss Chris in this clip from E.R., where he plays a drunken teen who shares a scene with Maura Tierney. Hardy&amp;#039;s first screen role was in HBO&amp;#039;s epic World War II miniseries Band of Brothers. As a fresh-faced soldier in Easy Company he shared the screen with the likes of Michael Fassbender and Damian Lewis before meeting an unfortunate end. Pine: 5/10. Hardy: 7/10. Winner: Tom Hardy!      Who&amp;#039;s got the best action hero skills? The biggest action movie of 2010 Inception counted Hardy among its starry ensemble, but the British actor found himself playing second fiddle to Leonardo DiCaprio&amp;#039;s heroics. Pine, on the other hand, lead the crew of the Enterprise in JJ Abrams&amp;#039;s Star Trek reboot and helped halt a runaway train with Denzel Washington in Unstoppable. Hardy scores 7/10, while Pine nabs a 9/10. Winner: Chris Pine!   Who&amp;#039;s the best romantic leading man? Pine&amp;#039;s roles are mainly of the frothy rom-com variety. Anne Hathaway and Lindsay Lohan were among his romantic foils, but Hardy takes home the win in this category for playing Heathcliff in a TV adaptation of Wuthering Heights - he&amp;#039;s even engaged to his Cathy, Charlotte Riley, in real life! We&amp;#039;re awarding Pine a 6/10 and Hardy 8/10. Winner: Tom Hardy!   Who has the best comedy chops? For his roles in The Princess Diaries 2 and Just My Luck, Chris Pine shades this one with a respectable 7/10. There&amp;#039;s also plenty of witty one-liners in Star Trek, which is enough to outmuscle his opponent. Hardy&amp;#039;s been super-serious in his career to-date, with This Means War his first big try at doing a broad comedy. However, he does balance humour with tragedy very well in the BBC TV movie Stuart: A Life Backwards - 6/10. Winner: Chris Pine!      Who&amp;#039;s got more geek cred? Perhaps the toughest one of the lot to call. Pine kept a relatively low profile among the all-important geek crowd before exploding on to the scene as Captain James T. Kirk in Star Trek. The movie was a cracker, but extra credit should go to Pine for convincingly stepping into the legendary shoes of one William Shatner. Hardy, though, has the mother of all fan-favourite movies coming up in the form of The Dark Knight Rises. As great as Trek was, we reckon Hardy just shades this with a 9/10 against Pine&amp;#039;s 8/10. Winner: Tom Hardy!   So... totting up the totals we&amp;#039;ve got Chris Pine on a not-too-shabby 35 out of 50, but racing into the lead in our game of Movie Top Trumps is Tom Hardy with 37 out of 50.
