Poll: Most Anticipated Film of 2015

[Johnny Novgorod]

From the movies listed it would be Star Wars 7. Obviously the most anticipated movie around the world.

Dunno about that. The MCU series has an above average record, but Star Wars is at least 50% crap, and most people who grew up with the decent Star Wars are in their 50's and 60's.

I'd say the Avengers are more anticipated for that reason. Younger generation.

I don't think that's true. Maybe in the USA. Globally, Star Wars ought to be more popular.

Nope. Marvel has pretty much global domination.
People have kinda stopped caring so much about Star Wars, what with Lucas spending a decade and a half ruining it.

My reasoning is there are 1 or 2 Marvel movies every year, but Star Wars movies every 10 to 15 years, so naturally these are the ones that are hyped the most around the world. They carry more momemtum, and they have a universal appeal. Whereas Marvel movies are very USA-y, and like I said there's always plenty.

Pretty much just Chappie:


That list is pretty sad OP, as it's pretty much all sequels to old/long-running franchises. I mean, the 90% of why I care about Chappie is because it's Neil Blomkamp's next film (and his other two works, Elysium and District 9, were right up my alley), but at least it's a new IP.

Avengers 2 comes second- I liked Guardians and the first Avengers, but I'm not really into the MCU stuff enough to fully appreciate them.

I don't know how much that would help, considering there's not that much to appreciate in the first place. *rimshot*

EDIT: I forgot, there was this one trailer I saw when I went to Hobbit 3 of some sci-fi teen romance book adaptation that looked like garbage cashing in on the post-Twilight/Hunger Games market of teen girls who haven't discovered good books yet. Every word and story implication in the trailer looked trite and abysmal, but the effects, sets, and general aesthetic were top-fucking-tier. It looked like the art team was trying to one-up Asgard from the Thor films in terms of sheer technical skill and fantastical scale, and it looked like they were succeeding.

If anyone can remember the title of the film, it was about some girl who was the long-lost princess of a sci-fi space empire in our solar system who falls in love with her bodyguard.

Jupiter Ascending, with Mila Kunis. It's a Wachowski production, which kinda explains the huge, fantastical world if you ever watched Cloud Atlas.

There's an awful lot of 2s and 3s in that list. 2014 probably wasn't any better in that regard, but it's still a little disheartening.

*cough*

Anyway. Chappie, Ex Machina, Crimson Peak, Inside Out, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Ant-Man have piqued my interest. The Martian I'm a bit wary of because of Ridley Scott's recent track record, but I'll keep an eye out because the premise has a lot of promise. Even though films in a Western setting aren't my cup of tea, The Hateful Eight will also probably be on my watchlist (c'mon, it's Quentin Tarantino). And let's face it, every single person on this forum will end up seeing Avengers 2 in theaters. It's inevitable.

I don't know about that. There are likely diminishing returns on the hype to Star Wars because it has been so long. And a few months is a long time so I don't see the hype for MCU movies dying off.

Why?

Well, I'm always up for a movie with "Electric Boogaloo" in its title...

OT: Based on the movies OP listed, I guess I'm looking forward to:
Avengers: Age of Ultron**Star Wars: The Force Awakens**Terminator: Genisys**Jurassic World**Pitch Perfect 2Magic Mike XXLAnt-ManTaken 3Jupiter Ascending**Kingsman: Secret Service**Hot Tub Time Machine 2Paul Blart Mall Cop 2*Spongebob 2: Recon the First Movie*Fantastic Four reboot*Maze Runner 2Hotel Transylvania 2**The Peanuts Movie**Fifty Shades of Grey*

Other than that, there's Cinderella* and Inside Out** for me...

*Hahahahahahahahahaha! What a story, Mark...
**Fuck yeah!

 

[Auron225]

The only ones in that list I'm looking forward to are Avengers 2 and Spectre.

Other than that;

Ex-Machina
Inside Out
The Little Prince
Big Hero 6

I'm excited for them!

I want to believe the second half of this list is a joke.
Do you just go see EVERYTHING?

 

[Dwarfman]

Well I put my vote in for Star Wars. Because let's face it, I mightn't have liked the trailer as much as others but it's freakin' Star Wars!

Personally though... Mad Max 4? Even though it wasn't filmed in Australia, just the thought of Max back in the Intercepter kicking arse and taking names gives me goosebumps!

 

[RiseUp]

Being a huge Guillermo del Toro fan, I can't wait to see Crimson Peak.

 

[Reed Spacer]

I'm assuming 'Poltergeist' is a remake.

Given that, they better do it right or someone gonna die.

 

[FPLOON]

-the movie list snip-

Not alone, I don't! My glob! I can't watch all that crap by myself...

But seriously, either I ask my friend(s) to join me or the other way around and, somehow, I end up seeing more movies than I thought I would every year, almost... Then again, some of those movies on said list I would not be surprised if I didn't see them by myself for the fear of laughing at how bad said movie would be to me... especially in public... <color=white>(Really do not want another Twilight-based incident...)

 

[Neverhoodian]

Star Wars, of course. Why? Because it's motherfucking STAR WARS!

You can act as hipster-y[footnote]Is that a word? I guess it is now.[/footnote] as you want online, but you and I both know better. You're going to be right there in the theater with the rest of us, waving your toy lightsaber and whooping and hollering when the R2-D2 reveal occurs. The franchise has become so ingrained in our collective subconscious that such a reaction is practically instinctual at this point.

Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

 

[ThreeName]

Mad Max is the only one of those that had a trailer I enjoyed, so I'd better vote for it.

The last Bond was good, so I suppose the next one could be too though.

 

[taylorton147]

mad max! also there is a fantastic 4 reboot? seems all a little to soon....

 

[themyrmidon]

Pinocchio 2: Age of Ultron.

By all rights it should be Star Wars, but I can't bring myself to get excited for a JJ Abrams project.
