OK, moving on! Round 1 was "1 vs. 16" and "8 vs.9." Round 2 (results below) was all the "2 vs. 15" and "7 vs. 10" pairings.

Expect things to get a little more interesting from here on out, although the really juicy battles won't start until late next week.

I did not so much vote against Tank Girl, as vote for Swamp Thing. Swamp Think is my favorite comic book character. Drawn by Berni Wrightson at the beginning and then later re-imagined by Alan Moore.
So while the movie was not that good, I voted for it, as a vote for the comic book.
Not logical, but that is the way it is.

Tank Girl is very underrated... I really hope it wins over Swamp Thing.
Sadly, I haven't seen many of these, so I can't rank one vs. the other. Hellboy 2 obviously is the best thing on this list though... you have to give it up for del Toro... the man throws absolutely everything into a movie, and it always works.

I agree! Tank Girl is super awesome and I just think its those people who haven't even seen the movie assuming its not as good.

Hellboy 2 is the best thing on this list? Really?
I have X2, Blade, Hancock, and Watchmen all ahead of Hellboy 2. I love Del Toro's work too, but HB2 fell short of the first one IMO.

I suspect whoever sets up the brackets of stacking the competition. These are worse pairings than round #2.

In reading the results of round 2, I'm incredibly depressed that Fantastic Four beat out Orgazmo.

Agreed. Both FF movies were massive heaps of crap. Even if it's a dumb goofball comedy, I'd much rather sit through Orgazmo again.

I am totally with you. I still quote that movie randomly. I don't think enough people saw it to vote it in because its really no contest against any Fantastic Four garbage... for Example:
Cock Rocket vs. Jessica Alba acting?

Again like the last time with Steel, somebody voted something like Catwoman against HellBoy2. Ok It's not my Del Toro favorite movie and I don't like the modifications he has made to Hell Boy but, is there any doubt of wichh movie is better?.
I suppose a lot of the voters voted The Rocketeer because they hate Spiderman 3, but I think is a better movie on it own.

This Tournament is really strange.
Hellboy 2 vs. Catwoman
=
A Box of LIttle Debbie Nutty Bars vs. Elephant Shit Chowder
X2: X-Men United vs. The Crow: Salvation
=
A 'Happy Ending' from Scarlett Johansen vs. Exploratory Lower Colon Surgery with a Pen Knife.
I mean, come on. When are these choices going to get even a little tough?

I suggest you pay attention to the NBA finals, or March Madness, then hopefully you will have a better idea how a tournament actually works....

When are they going to get tough? Probably when all these obviously crappy movies are eliminated, which is exactly what these early rounds are doing.
If Catwoman and Crow: Salvation had been put against each other, it would've meant that one of them would continue on in the tournament, even though we all know they have no chance of winning -- thereby taking away spots from valid contenders.

Yeah, no thanks, couldn't care less about 'March Madness'.

Blade: Trinity was pure garbage. Sky High was actually an unique fun movie.

Agreed on "Sky High". Why the fudge is it losing?

Well I made a mistake and voted for Blade because I thought they were talking about Blade 2 instead of 3. I wish I can go back and undo my vote because I hated Blade 3.
