Huh, can't say I didn't expect this.
Anyway, comments on Bob's selections:
10) Sounds nice, but Jane Lynch as Master Chief... sounds more like Samus than whatnot. Can't think of a title but the premise sounds awfully familiar.
9) Space Nazi.. on the moon... Enough said. Gotta hand it to nation of Finland for surprising us all.
8) Eh, the trailer was OK, but it looks more like an action-filled flick than one with in-depth story and drama. I won't look forward to watch it unless my buddies want to as much as they want to watch Batman movie.
7) Gender role-challenging films have been a norm for this day and age, so not looking forward to this one as well. However, it's Pixar so the list is above John Carter at least. Speaking of which, I guess the forums will buzz with Pixar giving out next movie's image on their previous ones (LOOK IT UP ON GOOGLE).
6) Historical movies are quite turn-off for me so this is going down quite a lot on my list. In my past experience, having big-named stars in a movie doesn't work out as well as general public want it to be. So, this will be my number 10 on anticipated movies.
5) There are many people who are arguing that the Prometheus is not prequel for Alien, but what do I know. I loved Alien series, so I am going to get suckered in to watching this movie, whether it will be great as the first one or bad as the 4th one.
IMO, Alien series should've ended on third.
4) Ugh, stop with the ego-jerking America. We know you are awesome for killing Bin Laden. Don't have to show off to people in the world how great you are.
Seriously, though. I liked "Hurt Locker" for its story and drama more than its setting and what they are trying to convey. I will wait for reviews (OTHER country's reviews) until I watch it. Better have more drive than just everyone being psyched for killing Bin Laden.
Oh, and *FLAME SHIELD ON*
3) Tarantino is my guilty pleasure. It was a roller coaster to see Inglorious Bastards, so this movie will be fun, too... maybe? Kinda raised my eye brow after hearing that last comment. Guilt trip, much?
Oh, Tarantino. What lengths will you go to make the movie as cheesy but memorable to us all.
2) Eh... I see Bob's "hyped" attitude when it comes the Avengers, so I wouldn't say it's not biased. Sure, those movies were really great both with numbers and with the actual story. I mean, I was pretty skeptical about Captain America being, well, too American, but the story itself is told from an individual, not the nation, and international audience (more or less) realized that and saw the movie as an Superhero movie, not an American Superhero movie. Though, I think it should be mentioned that the title "First Avenger" was used instead of "Captain America" in most international releases (to avoid sales loss, I am sure).
However, I won't say it will be the most awesome movie that puts those movies in the blender and serve it up raw and untainted. So, it's high up on my list as well, but I will hold my judgment until the fat lady sings.
1) You took the words right out of me, Bob. So... yeah...
As for Batman, I understand Bob's position when he says he doesn't anticipate as much as other movies, because I don't either. The trilogy being the most horrendous of all three movies were, unfortunately, quite common these days, so I will hold my breath on this one, too.
Now, back to work.
