    The Avengers takes the win in an intriguing encounter and thus earns our final place in the round of 16.

    That wraps up Round 2 and leaves us with 16 terrific films that will need to be whittled down to just 8. The next round promises to have some cracking matches.

    I aim to post up the draw for the next round tomorrow evening after 7 pm. It should be good fun so hope to see you then. :cool:

    Okay folks, the draw for the round of 16 has been made and there's some great encounters ahead. I would say the third match-up this round is perhaps the most interesting, but there are plenty of compelling bouts coming up.

    As things are really heating up now in the tournament we will be upping the requirement to 4 votes needed to go through.

    So with that being said, let's get the first tie started...





    Thor
