I liked the latest movie more than the last one.

Definitely Quarter of Silence. Not one of my favorite, but it had plenty of good points (great scenery) and some genuinely heart-wrenching moments. Eleventh Striker was a confused jumble of junk that got worse as it went on (well, it got better briefly, but then got much worse).
oh and of course posting of opinions/reasons for voting are encouraged!

15
Good scenery, some emotional and funny moments but a rather average case. Still, 16 had an even worse case with a lame ending (where as 15's was at least decent) and poor pacing as well.

16, less DBs than 15 , although they ruined the ending in 16, but still they had less screen time

16, though I don't have a good reason since it was pretty...not good.

Movie 15 without a doubt!
There's some emotion there, and i love the ending!
16, it's ok, but not nearly as good!

15, mostly because I liked what happened it it more (boy in coma wakes up, seems to be targeted, bombs not being the main focus til the end

, and the avalanche scene). And partly because I'm not the biggest fan of sports, so a movie focused around soccer doesn't appeal to me as much. :V

15... mainly because I don't really have any idea what happened in 16. Some things exploded and then the totally suspicious guy turned out to actually be the murderer, which is a plot twist in DCland.
Also, 15 had some gorgeous scenery and the coma kid's subplot was properly heartwrenching.

Ok a (slightly) better explanation.

Both were incredibly boring

and I thought 16 was less boring

I forgot to add a timer to the poll like a true genius, but given the large margin of victory I don't have any qualms about declaring this faceoff over. "Quarter of Silence" advances to the next round!
