DC Movie Contest: "Countdown to Heaven" vs. "Strategy Above

[Teisson h]

Definitely HEAVEN! It has so gorgeous moments with stunts and BO! *___*
5 and 13 are my favourites~

[sstimson]

It is funny how movies with no plot but lots of action are liked better then better movies with lot of plot and a few twists. It is sad to see the better movie losing to the inferior ones. 

Lots of plot!=good plot.

did you vote for Countdown to Heaven last time?

Because if so you have no right to say this. 

No I did not. Therefore I do have a right to say that.

IMO the three best movies

1)Last Magician
2)Strategy
3) Baker Street

5 - might have a 30 minute mystery after that all action
4 - is better and a clever way to put the title in the movie.That one while still not a full 120 minutes mystery is more like a 45- 60 minute one
3 - Is a great blend of Mystery and Action. Great twist. And of course Kid meets his match
9 - Is the true master crazy how two people murder the same one using the same trick. Again a nice blend of mystery and action

Just my reviews. IMO a good story is the most important thing for a good movie. put the right blend of all the elements can make that good movie a great one

I agree with you on Last Wizard being the best (still can't believe it lost), but I think you're seriously overrating Strategy. Kogoro is my favorite character and it was nice to see him triumph for once, but that was incredibly obvious all along. The biggest crime (lol) that this movie commits, as it see it, is the stuff with Ran at the end. "we've solved the mystery, nice jo- oh shit we have no idea where Ran is." Multiple climaxes are not a good thing for movies. Countdown sort of had this problem, but because the intensity was only ratcheted up the second climax it didn't feel as unpleasant.

But You missed something For most of the movie it looks like it is person A but it turns out to be person B. Kogorou Was even better the Shinichi / Conan who missed the neccessary connection. Yes Ran at the End is weak, but that part is action not plot. I meaning that was put in and agreed it was not needed

Countdown to Heaven

[Yukimi]

I still prefer the plot of strategy above the depths and Kogoro is great in it too.

Agreed +12!

I finally went with Countdown to Heaven due to the re-watch factor, I'd watch Heaven twice more while Strategy Above the Depths is eh, I'd proabaly not.

Kogoro not withstanding, the movie was kinda forgettable to me.

Let me remind you of what you are missing a quote  from Hairaba to Mitsuhiko


Hairaba:     I'm going to take a bath.
Mitsuhiko:  A bath?!
Hairaba:     "What, you want to join me"

[G_chaN]

Hairaba:     I'm going to take a bath.
Mitsuhiko:  A bath?!
Hairaba:     "What, you want to join me"

LOL.. that's definitely one good reason to watch SAtD..

Lol.. and the fact that Mitsuhiko sounded saying "yes" but the sub says "No"

[LordKaitou]

Voted for Movie 5

I liked  the ConanXAyumi part... the heartbeat thingy 

[Conia]

Crushing victory from Countdown...

[pofa]

Out of the ones that are left, I think I'm voting Countdown to the end.

[scineram]

Strategy already exceeded expectations, and Countdown does not totally suck, so I am content.
