I'm interested in the CBM's, M:I 4, Pirates 4, Deathly Hallows Part 2, and Immortals.

All the rest sound pretty crappy. Twilight, Scream 4, Spy Kids 4, I Am Number Four (written by the guys who used to make Smallville, no thanks), Smurfs, Final Destination 5, etc.

I've never heard of Tintin before, but the cast is awesome and the premise sounds intriguing, flamboyant titles aside.

Most of these movies sound really interesting, but usually they don't turn out as good as they sound. Kind of crazy how all the movies are blockbuster actions.

@LEEE, ever read TinTin? The secret of the unicorn is one of the best story's. It could have the potential to become a real great movie if they just lower "the kiddie factor". Anywho, if you haven't read it, give it a chance ;). I might be a little bit biast because i grew up with these comics :P.

Wow, you left out a movie that will likely be among the most hyped up, box office busting movies of 2011...

How can you forget to mention the JJ Abrams & Stephen Spielberg collaboration, Super 8?!

tazmaniak - 6/5/2010, 11:37 AM
Does anyone else like Mission Impossible 2?It's my favorite of the three, yet everywhere I go I here people bashing it.

The "new" Spider-Man logo looks exactly like the first Spidey logo from 2002...oh wait this one is in 3D...

I like the premise of Night Chronicles.
Battle Los Angeles-Marines and aliens sounds good if the Marines are not portrayed as complete moronic knuckle-draggers.
"No" to:
Sucker Punch-I don't care much for movies about protagonist crazies.
Scream 4 This franchise was done two installments ago.
Pirates of the Caribbean- So was this one. I wish I could get my money back.
X-Men - First Class- If I knew that they were taking this opportunity to reboot it and make it better than its predecessors, I'd be interested. Especially if they managed to bring it into the official Marvel Cineverse. But they are not. This is FOX were talking about here. They'll bleed this one dry.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2:- I haven't read one Potter book, nor have I seen 1 movie. Not about to start.
The Twilight Saga - Breaking Dawn, Part 1- hahahahahaha!!! Yeah, right...
The Adventures of Tintin - The Secret of the Unicorn- Anything with unicorns in the title sounds like a recipe for gay. I'm not drinking that kool-aid, thank you.
The rest look half-way decent or pretty good to downright epic.

Joss Whedon is "In talks with Gabe Newell of Valve Corporation to direct a Half Life film starring Nathan Fillion after Avengers is complete"

For me, I plan on watching anything by Joss Whedon, Sucker Punch (Watchmen was fantastic), Thor, X-Men: First Class, Green Lantern (in the hopes that there will be a Justice League movie), Harry Potter (I spent half my life on the series I plan on finishing it), and First Avengers: Captain America.

The "Spider-Man" logo looks suspicially familiar to the original movie franchise's.

Night Chronicles sounds kinda scary, to be stuck in an elevator and find out that satan is in there with you. Gah.
GusGalaxy
GusGalaxy - 6/5/2010, 4:55 PM
thank you so much for those images! the ghostbusters logo is AWESOME!!! i've been waiting for some official imagery from the third movie for some time now, and i'm a die-hard fan of the franchise, still curious why they left out the '3' though? looks like updated promo art from the original, but still amazing! it's really awesome to see it mixed in with those other titles.. very happy.. and thanks for reminding me of Super 8 and the Spider-Man reboot! another 2 films that will top my list.. i'm just beyond grateful to finally get my GB and MIB trilogy's complete! ;)

Gonna have to start saving my pennies.

between going to cinemas and see most of these flicks and then buying them on blu-ray when they come out, will nearly send me half broke.

Notice how the vast majority of movies are sequals, prequels or reboots. Few original properties. Well, at least some of them look entertaining though ;)
