Things to Come

[BlueHighwind]

This is the most depressing article I have ever read in my life. There is not a single title on this entire list (aside from Harry Potter to find out the ending and Twilight for the lulz) that I actually have any definite interest in seeing. The rest is all either superhero movies, remakes of better films, and sequels to movies I didn't want to see anyway. Like Happy Feet 2? Final Destination 5??

Sucker Punch looks like the only truly interesting spot in a massive sea of mediocrity.

How the hell did you miss out the Dark Crystal 2. I've been waiting for this movie for a decade and if it's even half as good as the original it's going to blow a lot of people's minds!

It looks like this is going to shape up to be a bad year where movies are concerned

And here's some more pattern recognition. When Movie Bob does review 'Your Highness', which he will, he will say that while it may not be very good, it features Natalie Portman in a metal thong, and therefore is worth seeing only for that. He will then go into a short segue about how much he is turned on by Natalie Portman.

Man, I should become a psychic. And I think I will hold onto this comment, just so I can post it in the thread of the 'Your Highness' review and say "Look, look, I was right!"

Yeah, I'm getting kinda sick of that. He sometimes goes as far as to take up half a review talking about what actresses he finds attractive.

Being a fan of John Carpenter's The Thing, I can only ponder as to why it would need a prequel. I feel its a complete movie as it is. I mean, it quintessentially included the original 1951 film into the plot. If anything, a sequel would make more sense (not much more, mind you). Then again, there was that one bad game that continued the story into an sub-par X-Files plotline.

Wasn't there a movie produced by Speilberg and the guy who did "Cloverfield" coming out in the summer called "Super 8"? the trailer show a train being derailed by a truck and something trying to break out of one of the cars. I dunno, maybe thats next summer. I'd figure MoiveBob say something bout that.

What about that looks interesting?

I am just waiting to see what happens when this whole Avengers thing blows up in Marvel's face. Favreau was right in walking away from Iron-Man 3's Spider-Man 3-esque clusterfuck

great, now i have to change my birthday to be a day later so i can avoid celebrating it on the same day the biggest travesty in entertainment gets it's own movie....Fuck you Justin Beiber, Fuck you. -_-

Wait... WHAT!?!? WHOS MAKING A NUMBER 2!?!? Dear God dont let it be all family friendly, this film scared the crap out of me as a kid and I expect my little sisters to be just as, if not more, scared.

As for the list, I really enjoyed Cars, its in my top 3 Pixar films, so im interested to see what they do with number 2.

 

[Falseprophet]

I find myself greatly respecting James Franco for the same reasons I respected Brad Pitt 10-15 years ago. Both actors have fought their pretty boy/teen heartthrob images by attempting some really out-there roles. Not always successfully, but they really make the effort.

As for Jason Statham, he always makes the same movie, but he always tackles it with complete sincerity. He never phones it in, even the 198th time. I just can't dislike the guy. He and Jet Li were the only things in The Expendables (besides the all too brief Arnie and Bruce Willis cameos) that made it bearable.

Scream 4??? Are you frickin' kidding me??? Those movies were stupid after the first one. How the fuck are they gonna justify this? Is it gonna turn out to be the boyfriend from the first one's third cousin twice removed this time?? Sidney Prescott, now 80 years old and in a retirement home is still being pestered by her old boyfriend's relatives who like to dress up in the same dorky Halloween costume and go on a killing spree. Whooo! ¬_¬

Johnny Depp gambles that we're not sick of Jack Sparrow yet in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

That would be a very poor gamble indeed.

another damn Final Destination movie,

Another one??? That premise wasn't good the first time.

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. Ugh. Supposedly, this one will see Tom Cruise becoming the "older mentor" in favor of a new, younger lead hero, which couldn't have been good for his ego. Or his Thetan-Levels...

Maybe not, but at least that'll make the movie somewhat bearable. ...sort of.

 

[Callate]

I can't be the only one who thinks that most of the movies outlined on this schedule can be summarized in nine words: "WHO THE F@$# THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA?!"

Sequels, prequels and re-makes out the wazoo. Good actors slumming in things that will make it less likely we'll see them in good movies in the future. CGI shoveled on by the pound. C'mon, Hollywood, you need to make me care that you're destroying your industry.

 

[duchaked]

oh um...a lotta potentially good stuff...but also a lotta most likely crap

=/

but wait Christophe Waltz AND Milla Jovovich? hmm might be seeing that one...

 

[MrGalactus]

2011 is looking damn good for movies.

I can't stop smiling, especially for Simon Pegg & Nick Frost's Paul. I've missed those two...

Sweet! Is it finally the third blood and ice cream, or just another thing they're doing?

 

[OrdinaryGuy]

Sucker Punch looks amazing. I'm curious to see if it's a success or failure, but I will definitely enjoy it either way. It's like they took everything that was ever awesome and put it all in the same movie. Cannot wait.

Can't wait for Paul, Captain America, and Thor, but everything else leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Another Pirates movie? Nah. Transformers? Pssh. Hopefully some good under-the-radar movies will pop up.

 

[BlueHighwind]

Sucker Punch looks like the only truly interesting spot in a massive sea of mediocrity.

What about that looks interesting?

The B-52s. The Samurai robots. The dragon. The mobsters. The chicks. Its so weird I have to see it.

It's coming from Jim Henson's company again, from what I've seen in my research it's going to be live-action this time which I'm unsure about, however the story seems just as grand and on a just as epic scale as the original.

 

[F-I-D-O]

New Transformer movie...maybe it will be on par with the first? I thought the first was okay, and it's hard to mess up Shockwave...(turns back to Shockwave spotlight comic...that was epic)hmmm...(sends Michael Bay a copy of said comic for guidance). He's still supposed to be a major villain right?
Your Highness looks like a rental. Not sure I want to pay theater prices, but I'll definetly try to rent it.
Green Hornet might be the same way, but I'll probably still see it in theaters if the reviews are decent.
Does anyone have the faintest idea of what Sanctum is? Besides having divers?
And then Captain America, Thor, and Green Lantern. Two of those will most likely be awesome. The third is a solid maybe...
Looks at third page...
Oh dear god. Yet another movie that will lead gullible people to say "Oh noes...Everyone in the south is a backwards redneck who can't form logical sentences and loves the confederacy *GASP* [sub](not sarcastically, for air)[/sub] and wants all democrats to die and forms lynch mobs and everyone is a racist and everyone is evil! OH NO!
Seriously, the only time this has worked was that family guy episode. They go to the south, made a bunch of jokes based off of stereotypes, but gave the people redeeming qualities at the end. It's extremely bad when the best case of stereotyping the south (from my experience) is Family Guy.
Yeah, that film isn't looking to push any buttons. Ugh..won't be able to say the region I live in/political stance for another year after this comes out.
Hmm? You said there's a Bieber movie, a new Twilight film, Big Momma, and a Smurfs movie? I don't recall reading that. You must be delusional.
