EN World Movie Battle Royal! We have our winner!

[Berandor]

Well, I'm gone for today, expect the tally around the same time I posted the contest.

I've got the votes till 15, with some wide open races, and some already decided.

i'll also explain what made me put the specific films into a match-up, then.

and wish they never made a Dragonheart two .

There was a Dragonheart 2? what was it about?

There was a Dragonheart 2? what was it about?

It is about Francis (Malcolm's oldest brother) and the trouble that he got into which ultimately forced Hal & Lois to send him to military school.

Once more, dear friends, into the breach...

1. Sleepy Hollow (1999) vs. Edward Scissorhands (1990) -- Eddy all the way
2. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) vs. Hero (2002) -- draw. Not fond of either.
3. Dragonheart (1996) vs. Dragonslayer (1981) -- oh yuck ... draw, couldn't pay me to watch either again
4. Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001) vs. The Fifth Element (1997) -- hey, cool taxi cab drivers rule
5. Big Trouble in Little China (1986) vs. Army of Darkness (1993) -- VERY tough choice! I go with Big Trouble, but only barely.
6. Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) vs. Dawn of the Dead (2004) -- another double header out for me...
7. I, Robot (2004) vs. Minority Report (2002) -- Minority Report had some great fun scenes
8. The Mummy (1999) vs. The Shadow (1994) -- The Shadow was too tongue-in-cheek, too willing to break genre; I give it to The Mummy with a clear conscience
9. Cube (1997) vs. ExistenZ (1999) -- never even heard of either... I guess this is what I get for pairing Highway 61 and Cold Feet

 

[demiurge1138]

1. Edward Scissorhands (1990)
2. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) (bamboo over color-swap)
3. Dragonslayer (1981) (the dragon was actually evil!)
4. Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001) (kung-fu historical horror romances based on a true story rock!)
5. Army of Darkness (1993) (hail to the king)
6. Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) vs. Dawn of the Dead (2004) draw (haven't seen either)
7. Minority Report (2002) (both were middling to poor adaptations, but Minority Report was the better movie)
8. The Mummy (1999)

and in the "substitution for a pairing that doesn't count" category: Cube (1997) vs. ExistenZ (1999) draw (haven't seen either)

Demiurge out.

This is the most difficult round yet . . .

Sleepy Hollow (1999) vs. Edward Scissorhands (1990) - tough choice, but Sleepy Hollow had had some elements I just liked better (and although Edward Scissorhands had Vincent Price it just isn't enough)
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) vs. Hero (2002) (Don't tell me it's not fantasy!) - Hero was visually more intense.
Dragonheart (1996) vs. Dragonslayer (1981)
Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001) vs. The Fifth Element (1997)
Big Trouble in Little China (1986) vs. Army of Darkness (1993) - AoD is my least favorite of the Evil Dead movies.
Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) vs. Dawn of the Dead (2004) - this was the only easy one, I can honestly say there isn't anything I like about BSD.
I, Robot (2004) vs. Minority Report (2002)
The Mummy (1999) vs. The Shadow (1994) - I just really like pulp heroes

and in the "substitution for a pairing that doesn't count" category:
Cube (1997) vs. ExistenZ (1999) - Cube was at least entertainingly odd

 

[Gomez]

One more to go!

 

[Berandor]

Yes, one more.

Spoiler

We have two close calls with 11-8 so far, so no draw is possible anymore, and bracket 9 is 6-4 only if I count Aris Dragonborn's vote with a question mark.

C'mon lets see that last vote to complete the round so we can get number 8.
