Here we go again with another summer movies poll. These are the big/hyped-up genre or event films due for release from May - Sept. I may have missed some out but this particular list AFAIK is made up from films that all come from a pre-existing source - no film here is from an original idea.

For me its

1) The Avengers
2) Spider-Man
3) Prometheus/Total Recall/ GI Joe 2.

Prometheus should be higher up for me but I'm worried it'll be really boring...plus I read that SPOILER: the Giger alien is not in the film.

Definately Avengers is the one I'm looking forward to most by a long way! I'm curious about MIB 3  and the new Spider-Man film. The Hobbit will be great too I think!

[chimmykins]

The Avengers for me, closely followed by The Dark Knight Rises.

[steele]

Well I would have to say the avenger, battleships dark knight rises and act of valour.

Following Fright Night (2011) Colin Farrell stars in another unnecessary remake of a genre classic from that hack, Len Wiseman, who brought us that pitiful excuse for a sequel Die Hard 4.0 (2007)

The Avengers.

Although The Dark Knight Rises, The Amazing Spider-Man :spidy: and American Pie-The Reunion are also high on my list.

[reddragon]

Really excited about The Amazing Spiderman but also really want to see The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises and American Reunion.

[timelord81r]

dark knight rises, GI JOE R, prometheus

avengers isnt doing anything for me, spiderman, meh, i love spiderman, im not sold on this reboot TBH, although I liked the latest trailer more than the teaser

EX2 and american reunion should be fun

TOTAL R remake? balls to it, looks rubbish

haha I actually thought DIE Hard 4 was ok overall.

For Gods sake, man! Paramount have pushed back GI: Retaliation from this summer's schedule to MARCH 2013......just so they can convert it to 3D. It was due for release in the USA end of June. The decision was all about the money apparently no doubt after seeing the $$$ roll in after Paramount's other comic-book hero blockbuster The Avengers.

Reminds me of that feeling when you finally arrange a date with that hot chick only for her to flake just before it.

Really? I quite enjoyed The Dictator. Then again Anna Faris makes everything she does funny

[timelord81r]

I saw MIB3 last night and really enjoyed it, esp the end. TLJ is really getting on though, but brolin and the voice over worked really well for the time travel scenes. wasnt shure going in if it would be any good but I liked it.
anyone notice the massvie canvus over wills bed in MIB3? LOL


im looking forward to prometheus now, trailers are great, i think as long as i forget about the alien films ill  love it but if i think too much about the alien films ill get annoyed lol.


saw safe a few weeks ago, really enjoyed that also

[Daniel]

I was never really a big fan of the MIB films. I didn't hate them, but didn't love them either.

I saw Men in Black 3 this evening and thought it was OK and there were some funny scenes. The ending was clever too, but wouldn't say it was much better than the first two. If you liked those though, you will probably like this.

[quidditysea]

ive seen the avengers, cant imagine any film being as good!! i am however looking forward to prometheus!!!

I saw Prometheus today. I loved it. It was amazing. Better than The Avengers IMO.

The visuals were stunning and it felt like a great addition to the Alien franchise although it was very very different and no one should go in thinking they'll see Alien 0. Given the ending I'd say this could be the start of a new Alien prequel trilogy. There were alot of unanswered questions and some plot points and things that weren't clear but hopfully they'll be addressed in a sequel. It wasnt boring at all which is what I feared coming from Ridley Scott and he certianly gives it his visual eye. Fassbender was great and Charlize Theron was deliciously cold and reminded me of Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct. I don't think its a film for everyone, not even Alien fans and I'm sure people will hate it for its unanswered plot points but I thought it was great science-fiction entertianment. Empire gave it 3 stars, I'd give it at least 4.

Best scene for me was the surgery. Yikes!

The Avengers - wasn't the car crash I thought it would be. A better than avearge film....... 6.5/10

The Amazing Spiderman - From what I saw inclusing an 5 minute scene with a trailer, I think I'm not going to like it.

The Dark Knight Rises - Of no interest to me at all.

Promettheus - Visually spectacular but plodding and dull. A few people walked out when i saw it and some fell asleep. I was close to dozing off myself. Graphics - 10/10 film - 4/10

Men in Black III - Continues the series of unfunny films starring Will Smith - 5/10

Dark Shdows -  Wow this is bad. It's the first Tim Burton film I've not liked. The entire screening I was at was about 70 people and nobody laughed once.  - 2/10

Snow White and The Huntsmen -  bloody awful. Kristen Stewart continues to show she can't act to save her life and has a range of emotion from none to zero. - 2/10

The Expendables 2 - Looking forward to this one.
Abraham Lincon Vampire Hunter - looks like silly fun.
Rock of Ages - The music should carry the film.
The Bourne Legacy -  may be good
Total Recall - They didn't need to remake this and I don't need to see it, so I wont.
American Reunion -  No American Pie film has made me laugh so no need to see this one to complete the collection.
Piranha 3DD - No interest.
Resident Evil: Retribution - These films shouldnt be as much fun as they are. I'm looking forward to this one.
Dredd. - Don't know the comic and didn't like the first film.  Undecided if I'll bother with this one.
The Three Stooges - Rubbish
The Dictator -  Sach Baron Cohn joins Adam Sandler,Ricky Gervais,  Jim Carrey and Russell Brand as the unfunniest "comedians" to be main leads in comedy films.
