Hannibal Lecter (The Silence of the Lambs) vs John Doe (Se7en)

Hannibal Lector, for the win! (I'm voting for him over John Doe, though it's a tough call)

I really do hope Lecter wins this. Just please, not Vader, he's a great villain but that would be so damn stereotypical.

I agree that Darth Vader winning is typical, but so is Hannibal Lecter, in a way.

I just hope it's not Col. Hans Landa. I personally didn't see what was so special about that character.

Hannibal Lecter (The Silence of the Lambs) vs John Doe (Se7en)

True. Hannibal Lecter was voted the greatest movie villain of all time by the AFI. I wouldn't mind seeing HAL win this either. And as for Landa, I too am a bit surprised he's made it this far, and by the looks of things he'll be getting into the Final Four as well.

BRACKET 4 FINAL

Hannibal Lecter (The Silence of the Lambs) vs John Doe (Se7en) 7-6

Holy crap, Vader's out... and it wasn't even close!

The final four!!! And here's my votes:

HAL 9000 (2001: A Space Odyssey)vs Col. Hans Lands (Inglorious Basterds)

The Joker (The Dark Knight) vs Hannibal Lecter (The Silence of the Lambs)

I'm gonna be really pissed if Landa beats HAL.

Urgh. I'd rather Vader won than that damn sociopathic space computer. HAL was hardly a villain - just some dysfunctional early Windows Vista crap. He got shut off and that was the end of him. If he wins, I'm gonna be so upset - same with Hans Landa.

Oh, great, I've gotta vote against them. That sucks - that means one of them is guaranteed to be in the final two.

HAL 9000 (2001: A Space Odyssey) vs Col. Hans Landa (Inglorious Basterds)

The Joker (The Dark Knight) vs Hannibal Lecter (The Silence of the Lambs)

I'm voting for Hans simply because there's a better chance he can be beat by Joker or Hannibal.

HAL 9000 (2001: A Space Odyssey) vs Col. Hans Landa (Inglorious Basterds)

The Joker (The Dark Knight) vs Hannibal Lecter (The Silence of the Lambs)
