Re: Movie Contest Round II: The Last Wizard of the Century v
They are both great movies and deserve to be in the semifinals.
I'll go with The Last Wizard of the Century.

Re: Movie Contest Round II: The Last Wizard of the Century v
Last Wizard of the Century. I'm not a big fan of Kid or the "30 minute case followed by a tangentially related hour long case" format, but no other movie gets to the core of DC as well. Rather than jumping around from explosion to explosion, location to location, and character to character, it has a nice narrow focus and is well paced throughout. I'm not always a huge fan of "exploration" cases, but when they're done right they can be pure, unvarnished fun.
Captured in Her Eyes is one of the better movies, but I still can't over the never-ending climax. Running around an amusement park is fun, but doing it for 20 minutes is tiresome. The amnesia stuff also a bit dumb and grating at times, but that kind of criticism can be leveled certain elements of all the DC movies (or at any movie targeted at kids, for that matter).

I might wake up early and go running. I also might wake up and win the lottery. The odds are about the same.

4 but 3 is really good too.

Re: Movie Contest Round II: The Last Wizard of the Century v
I have a feeling 4 will pull away here... hope I'm wrong though and it stays close (or, ideally, goes the other way).

Re: Movie Contest Round II: The Last Wizard of the Century v
These two are arguably the best movies made, so I fully expect there to be some kind of fight at some point.

Re: Movie Contest Round II: The Last Wizard of the Century v
4. While it has the amnesia cliche, and as a JRPG fan I automatically can't be a fan of that, I remember it being done much better...or not being nearly as annoying as it could have been. I honestly sadly don't remember too much of the movie outside of my few complaints for it (mainly the last 10 or so minutes) but I remember first watching it I thought it was incredibly engaging almost from beginning to end in nearly every way.

Re: Movie Contest Round II: The Last Wizard of the Century v
Both were great movies. Two of my favourites of them all. But I'd never really liked the whole run around the amusement park of 4 so 3 won my vote.

Re: Movie Contest Round II: The Last Wizard of the Century v
3 is one of my favorites, despite Kid. 4 was okay enough, but 3 was definitely better imo.
