The Final Destination vs Halloween II... Tell Us, Who Will Win?
Tuesday, August 25, 2009
By: MrDisgusting

Get ready for the battle of the century as Death will be taking on Michael Myers at this weekend's box office as New Line Cinema's The Final Destination will be going head-to-head, mano-a-mano, toe-to-toe with Dimension Films' Halloween II.

Both films have a huge fan base, both carry loads of death and destruction, both rock a solid R-rating and both films feature the return of a director familiar with the franchise.

The only difference is that Rob Zombie's Halloween sequel is dark and uber violent, while David R. Ellis' Destination is a fun 3-D experience.

So we're asking YOU, dear readers of Bloody Disgusting what film you plan on seeing THIS weekend (not next). Read on to enter our poll and battle other BD readers, and then check back on Friday to write your own reviews of both films to tell everyone on the site what you thought!

For H2

I think it will be The Final Destination mainly because of the 3D. I will be seeing both. Two of my friends want to see FD this weekend. We will probably go on Saturday or Sunday. I have another friend who wants to see H2 but she works during the weekends and would rather go to movies during the week. We are planning to go so the earliest would be Monday.

I want to see both as well but since I want Michael to come out the victor I will not be paying to see The Final Destination this weekend.

I'm eager to see how this will play out...

I think Halloween will be more popular, the destination movies seem to be dying out. I didn't like the last one. I'd like to see both, we'll see though.
