Magneto is overall more powerful, smarter, and has far better levels of TK when it comes to metal, but, all in all, he has no defense against a force choke or a force crush. If Dooku uses that, Magneto dies.

Comic book Magneto is vastly more powerful than movie Magneto, though. I'd say he can beat Dooku.

Magneto can only manipulate metal, Dooku can use TK on anything. Not to mention that anything Magneto hurls at Dooku, Dooku can repel with the force. If Dooku hurls say, a large wooden crate at Magneto, what's Magneto gonna do?

well, who's to say Magneto cannot manipulate the iron in our blood? By the logic and feats given, he should be able to. if this is the case, no jedi gots nothin on magneto.

Didn't he kill the guard in X2 by forcing out the iron in their blood?

MF'ers do not pay attention.

Mystique injected him with (extra) iron, if he could do that to anybody, he would have escaped long before.

Magneto is likely smarter.
Tyrannus' is an adept politician, Sith, force user of the Dark and Light Side.

So what has Magneto done, shown, or hinted at in the trilogy that would make him the genuis he is in the comics.

Plotted the destruction of mankind?

The difference is magnitude.

Yoda is shown to take a lot of focus and time to stop that big tube from falling on Anakin and Obi Wan. To Magneto it is a piece of cake. If Dooku would let him have the time to use his powers (no more than a second) he'd be dead ... Magneto would but need a thought to impale him with his own lightsabre. Dooku's advantage is his faster reflexes and quick lethal dark side powers. That's why he'd win. Nothing else.

I replied to that.

Agreed.

He helped Xavier create Cerebro.

And we don't know (from the films) how much, if anything, was Dooku's doing, for all we know he might have been a complete Sidious pawn.

I always viewed him as Sidious's pawn.

I see Gandalf.

So I won't watch it.

Hurl a metal bridge at him?

Which Dooku will repel, or flip away from.

Face it, Magneto is WAY outclassed here.

Dooku didn't show any feats in the movies where he force-lifted anything near the size of the golden gate bridge. As I recall all he did was weaken a pillar so it would drop on Anakin, distracting Yoda, and allowing him to escape. I highly doubt he could repel something that big or jump out of its path.
