sorry that doesnt count .. can you edit to your choice of MATCH 1

[Rated R]

I choose Ocean's Eleven because it is just so damn cool.

[asyouwish530]

Ocean's Eleven

[idealdiscountdude]

Oceans 11 !!!!!

[screamer581]

Ocean's 11

[charliebobo]

Ocean's Eleven by far

[Nate6]

Ocean's Eleven

[Moviefan1234]

"Ocean's Eleven"

[A.J. Hakari]

OCEAN'S ELEVEN

[Sad man]

Planet of the apes was very dissapointing.
Ocean´s 11 was stupid, funny and had a great cast...but I´m a Burton fan...so, the big hairy ape gets my vote.

[SubMethod]

Neither was that good but POTA was a little better so my vote goes to

Planet Of The Apes

[DaveyJoeG]

Ocean's Eleven

[POLYDISTORTION]

Ocean's Eleven

[RogueSpear]

Ocean's Eleven

[urbanlegend23]

PLANET OF THE APES - B-
OCEAN'S ELEVEN - A

Obviously PLANET OF THE APES. ;) Of course its the brilliant OCEAN'S ELEVEN!

[arto_j]

Ocean's Eleven, because that was good and PotA was not.

[Movie Hunter]

Oceans Eleven

Oceans eleven = 15 Votes
Planet of the Apes = 2 Votes (Ouchh !!)

anyway lets get into the second match ..

And here it comes ..

[Movie Hunter]

In my opinion Both Sucked .. but which was the better sucker ?

thats what this match is all about

MATCH TWO

Pearl Harbor

http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/61/003_PEARLHARPB.jpg

Jurassic Park III

http://www.moviecritic.ca/reviews/2001/jurassic_park_iii/poster.jpg

hmm .. my vote goes to Jurassic Park III :(

[arto_j]

Jurassic Park III was actually somewhat entertaining, while Pearl Harbor took forever to get anywhere, and kept going way too long after that. So JP3 gets my vote.

[charliebobo]

Jurassic Park III, I guess

[screamer581]

Yuck, I guess I vote for Jurassic Park III, Pearl Harbor is one of the worst "films" I have ever seen.

[Mike]

Jurassic Park 3 (4/10 or D+) was TERRIBLE! One of the worst movies of 2001! I'm one of the only people who actually loved Pearl Harbor (9/10 or A-), so Pearl Harbor gets my vote.

[PrettyInPink]

Pearl Harbour.

Just for Ben alone.

[Nate6]

Jurassic Park III

The first time I saw Pearl Harbor was at the theater, and although I wasn't even tired, I fell asleep. I can't stand corny, big-budget soap operas. I woke up just before the big battle in the middle, which is the only good part of the film.

[Rated R]

Never saw Pearl Harbor but I will vote for it...JP3 was one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

[RogueSpear]

Pearl Harbor

[idealdiscountdude]

JP3 (B+)

Pearl Harbor was godawful! (D-)

[screamer581]

Trust me man, JP3 might suck, but it's not even close as bad as Pearl harbor.

[Moviefan1234]

Sue me, but I thought both were great. "Peal Harbor" is better though.

[SubMethod]

Jurassic Park III

[A.J. Hakari]

One of 2001's most fun movies, JURASSIC PARK III.

[asyouwish530]

Jurassic Park III

[urbanlegend23]

PEARL HARBOUR - B+
JURASSIC PARK III - B

PEARL HARBOUR gets my vote.

[DaveyJoeG]

Jurassic Park III. I wouldn't have hated Pearl Harbor so much if it weren't for the wonderful teaser trailer they played about a year before it opened. I was expecting a classic and got trash.

[Sad man]

Pearl Harbour(6/10)
Jurassic Park 3(5/10)

Ben Affleck gets my vote...Although they are both WHO CARES ABOUT IT? movies.

[happy OUT here]

so true, sad man....who cares?

Pearl Harbor

At least some scenes were pretty

[Movie Hunter]

Jurassic Park III - 10
Pearl Harbor - 8

Well , pearl harbor needs 3 votes while JP III needs ONE vote ..

so folks lets finish this awfull match coz none of these match winners will survive in the second round anyway

[MarkItZero]

Pearl Harbor sucks because they teased us with that exciting trailer only to let us down with a crap movie, so Ill vote for JP III

[Movie Hunter]

Jurassic Park III

well thank god this match is over ..

lets move on to another , which is not a very good match neither but better than the last .

and here we go

[Movie Hunter]

well here comes two .. hmm the top grossers of this year are not that good

MATCH 3

Rush Hour 2

http://www.impawards.com/2001/posters/rush_hour_two_ver3.jpg

The Mummy Returns

http://www.jjktg.com//tmrminipostersmall.JPG

my vote goes to Rush Hour 2

i didnt hate the mummy returns but there was some crappy things about it

VOTE PEOPLE :)

[screamer581]

Ugh, another bunch of stinkers. Well I guess I vote for The Mummy Returns, at least it didn't have Chris Tucker in it.

[Mike]

Rush Hour 2 (6/10 or C+) and The Mummy Returns (6/10 or C+) were both "ok" flicks. I don't really prefer one over the other, but I guess I'll vote for Rush Hour 2 because it was shorter.

[A.J. Hakari]

THE MUMMY RETURNS

[Ren Hoek]

Both films are truly awful... The Mummy Returns (4/10) is a tad less painful to watch. (Rush Hour 2 [3/10])

[charliebobo]

The Mummy Returns

[Moviefan1234]

"The Mummy Returns" (8/10)

[asyouwish530]

Rush Hour 2

[idealdiscountdude]

Both sucked, but The Mummy Returns (C) was way better than the godawful Rush Hour 2 (D-).

My pick: The Mummy Returns

[Sad man]

The Mummy Returns(5/10)
Rush Hour 2(6/10)

I hate those movies, although they don´t have a low rating, but I just can´t see them, I hate both of them.But my vote goes to Rush Hour 2, it has a shorter running time.

[urbanlegend23]

RUSH HOUR 2 - B
THE MUMMY RETURNS - B+

I hate to bring shame upon myself but THE MUMMY RETURNS gets my vote - its a great guilty pleasure even though the special effects suck.

[SubMethod]

The Mummy Returns

[The Handeman]

Rush Hour 2

[Movie Hunter]

Rush Hour 2 - 5 votes
Mummy returns - 8 votes

well Mummy returns needs only 3 votes while rush hour 2 needs 6 votes ..

well guys lets end this match

[Mick]

Rush Hour 2

[arto_j]

Both were quite entertaining, but I vote for The Mummy Returns.

[Nate6]

I personally think they were both atrociously bad.

However, I hate Chris Tucker so my vote goes to The Mummy Returns.

[DaveyJoeG]

The Mummy Returns

[Mike]

Well then, I guess The Mummy Returns won this match.

[Movie Hunter]

The mummy returns

thankgod this match is over ..

now this is not a bad one

[Movie Hunter]

well this is match isnt that bad but it was done million of times in this board .. Monsters inc. won the last time in Sadman`s 2001 Tournment .. well we will have to go through it again and give another chance shrek to try to make it to the semi finals this time

MATCH 4

Monsters Inc.

http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/123/003_MONSTERS_INC.jpg

Shrek

http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/91/003_SHREKRRP.jpg

My votes goes again to Monsters Inc. ..

what about you DUDE ;)

[Ren Hoek]

Shrek (again) ... Monsters Inc has the better soundtrack though

[Annie Hall]

Shrek, cause in the mornin' I'm makin' waffles.

[RogueSpear]

Shrek

[SubMethod]

Shrek

[MarkItZero]

Both were great, but for some reason (probably John Goodman) I liked Monster's Inc better

[screamer581]

Monsters Inc.

[urbanlegend23]

Monsters, Inc. (7/10 or B)
Shrek (9/10 or A)

Thes two always end up facing each other. BTW Mike I hope its OK if I start using your rating system.

[Rob Gordon]

Monster's Inc., by one of Sully's hairs and the fact that Billy Crystal is funnier than Eddie Murphy

[A.J. Hakari]

MONSTERS, INC.

[The Handeman]

Shrek

[Mike]

They both get the same rating from me (8/10 or B+), but I prefer the much cuter Monsters, Inc. over Shrek anyday. How can anyone resist that adorable Boo?

[Mike]

No, of course I don't mind. I'm flattered actually ;).

[charliebobo]

Monsters Inc. 8.5/10 gets my vote
Shrek 7.5/10

[Sad man]

Shrek(A+)
Monsters. Inc.(B-)

I´m not sure if the letters are right, but Shrek gets my vote anyway.Monsters, Inc. was good but overrated.

[DaveyJoeG]

Tough but I'll go with Shrek.

[Movie Hunter]

this is always a tough match .

So Far ,

Shrek - 8 Votes (needs 3 Votes)
Monsters Inc. - 7 votes (needs 4 votes)

lets go boys this is not an easy match .. and the upcoming match is the huge battle between fantasy movies these days

[Damned Martian]

Shrek - 8.5/10

Monsters inc - 8/10

Sorry for Monsters...

[Nate6]

Monsters, Inc.

[Santa Clause]

Monsters Inc.

[Movie Hunter]

Now its a tie .. 9-9

Each one them needs two votes .. WHO WILL BE THE WINNER ?

[idealdiscountdude]

SHREK!

[mrdeeds]

Monster's Inc

[dh1989]

Shrek

[Movie Hunter]

Shrek

11-10 wow what a match .. unfortunally only one of them will reach the final , and we will not see them competing again for the title

here is the last match of round one

P.S : thanks Ren for making me recognize my mistake:)

[Ren Hoek]

Originally posted by Movie Hunter

How can BOTH of them reach the finals? Won't one of them be definitely out after the next round?

[Movie Hunter]

welcome to the final conflict of the first round .. the clash of the titans ;)

MATCH 5

Lord of the rings : The fellowship of the ring

http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/120/002_3520.jpg

Harry potter and the sorcerers stone

http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/68/039_HARRYPOAOS_DOUBLESIDED.jpg

My vote goes offcourse to my beloved Lord of the rings - Fellowship of the ring ..

and now let me see your votes :)

[Ren Hoek]

my precioussss Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

[Iceybox]

Potter was surprisingly good, but Fellowship was vastly superior, soooo. Fellowship of the Ring be my choice.

[urbanlegend23]

I loved The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (9/10 or A), PJ has done NZ proud as usual. But in my personal opinion Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (10/10 or A+) is the better film, and it gets my vote.

[screamer581]

The Lord Of The Rings:The Fellowship Of The Ring, no question.

[A.J. Hakari]

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING

[dh1989]

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, of course. ;)

[idealdiscountdude]

Both were great, but Harry Potter and The Philosophers Stone gets my vote!

[Annie Hall]

Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring

[Gregorious8]

Even though I kinda enjoyed HP (seeing it at another time than at 2:00 am in a hotel would have help), I'm going with


LOTR: FOTR

[mrdeeds]

LOTR: FOTR

[POLYDISTORTION]

Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

[charliebobo]

They're both very overrated, but I'll vote for HP

[Moviefan1234]

"The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring" (9/10)

[Movie Hunter]

Lord of the rings needs 1 Vote to win this match

while HP needs 7 votes ..

HP needs a miracle , anyway lets end this round once and for all

[Damned Martian]

LOTR

[dh1989]

This round was obvious since the start, can we go on to the finals, Movie Hunter?

[DaveyJoeG]

Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring

[The Handeman]

LOTR

[Movie Hunter]

Lord of the rings : the fellowship of the ring

FOTR : 12
HP : 4

well folks this round is over see you in the ROUND 2 (semi finals) ..
