    Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is about it. I have no interest in Fantastic Four. Die Hard 4 is a possibility.

    Having just finished reading the six Harry Potter books for the first time, I'm excited to see Order of the Phoenix. Of course FF:ROTSS, Pirates 3, DH4 and Bourne all make my own list.

    It's going to be a fun summer at the cinema B-)

    I really only have Die Hard 4 on my agenda. However, I am still a little skeptical about Justin Long (The Mac guy) teaming up with Bruce in this one. :v

    I'm suppose I'm most looking forward to the Potter pic and to the Simpsons movie. I may see Pirates and FF if the reviews indicate they're worthwhile (I wasn't too blown away with the previous films). I'll take a pass on Ocean's 13, Rush Hour 3, and Transformers; and I'll catch the remaining two on DVD.

    Die Hard 4, The Bourne Ultimatum, and the new HP flick are gonna be good, I hope. I'm no fan of the HP books, but I watch the films anyway.

    Hmmmm

    I guess Die Hard 4, the new Bourne film and the Simpsons movie. Another that looks interesting is Across The Universe Not sure if any one has seen the preview for it. I saw the preview in Spidey 3 last week.

    For those who haven't seen the trailer for Across The Universe here goes(you'll need Quicktime to view):

    I'll miss Pirates, Fantastic Four, Harry Potter.
  • TOOTSTOOTS Posts: 114MI6 Agent
    The Bourne Ultimatum
    Ocean's 13
    Shrek The Third
    Die Hard 4.0
    Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
    Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

    Quite like Spidey 3.
    Saw Pirates 3 last night. Hated 2nd one, this was barely better. Gr8 SFX but no story, heart or characters.

    I did, and, personally, I think it looks pretty cheesy. Build a movie around Beatles songs, give the characters names like Jude and Lucy (and Eddie Izzard plays Mr. Kite!), and saturate the screen with '60s-style psychadelic imagery. . . Didn't they do that back in the late '70s, with the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton coming all together now in a gigantic mess known as Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band?

    The Die Hard 4 trailer did enough to make me see it. I have heard though that it will be a PG rather than an ultra violent 18 which isn't good. Jason Bourne is top of my blockbuster list. It isn't a blockbuster and I'm not sure when it will be released but I'm really looking forward to George A Romero's Diary Of The Dead too.

    I have high expectations for The Bourne Ultimatum.

    I'm willing to give Ocean's Thirteen a chance, although the trailer looks as smug as the sequel. It does have tasty 50-something Ellen Barkin in it though, so that might liven it up.

    Live Free and Die Hard has an awful title and a dodgy director in Len Wiseman. Willis looked better balding, than bald, but there's a decent supporting cast. Hopefully Timothy Olyphant can make a better villain than the simpering Jeremy Irons did in the third film.

    Groundhouse will be seperated for the UK release, but I quite fancy seeing both films.

    I also like the look of Shoot Em Up with Clive Owen as a wandering hitman and John Rambo because it looks completely insane.

    No power on earth could get me into a cinema to see the new Pirates movie. I loathed Johnny Depp's prancing performance as Jack Sparrow in the first film. It was like being trapped in a dingy nightclub with the world's worst mockney transvestite. I genuinely wanted to scream out loud for him to just STOP DOING THAT. :D

    I'd be willing to bet money that the simpsons movie will be bad.

    The show has become tired, boring, and uninspired, and I bet the movie will just reinforce how unoriginal the show has gotten.

    I might be wrong though, the movie might be great. But I would be very shocked if it is. I will still watch it nonetheless, just to see what it's like.

    Am I right in thinking The simpsons movie will be shown on at the cinema and not realeased on DVD? I don't why I thought this but sure I read it somewhere. Seems like a very stupid thing to do.

    God, I hope you're wrong. :# Personally, I don't care how violent it is; just as long as it's no less violent than the first two Die Hards. ;)

    I loved Irons in Die Hard With a Vengeance. Granted, he wasn't as good as Rickman in Die Hard (who is?) but I thought that his overly polite, coldly arrogant, yet completely ruthless persona made for a really terrific villain, and the second best in the series. In fact, one of my favourite things about the Die Hard films is that IMO it has consistently produced fantastic villains. :D Hopefully Die Hard 4.0 will be no exception.

    The Bourne Ultimatum- This is one of two "musts" of the season for me.
    Ocean's 13- This is the ohter "must" for me.
    The Invasion- COME ON, GUYS! We've got to support Dan and his films!
    Live Free or Die Hard
    Rush Hour 3

    Amen.

    Thirty minutes was all I could take. Jack Sparrow's Bugs Bunny was confounding a pair of Elmer Fudd soldiers.

    I just couldn't handle it.

    Thank you!And I thought I was the only viewer in the world who didn't appreciate this movie.

    My God--Depp's performance actually made the Robin Williams interpretation of Popeye look like a masterpiece of elegance,intelligence, and subtlety...

    I was subjected to this movie courtesy of my 10 year old.I'm no Mr Bean fan but I found myself chuckling along and even managed a rather embarrassing LOL moment to boot. A lot more enjoyable than I thought it was going to be.

    As for movies I'm looking forward to,The Simpsons and Harry Potter.

    Apart from Mr Bean (obviously...who isn't...) ?:)I'm looking forward to the Golden Compass...

    No not because DC is so frostbitten that he keeps the swim-togs under wraps (sorry gals) :x

    but it's phillip pullman, one of the most under rated novelists of our time...

    the RSC version of his dark materials at the south bank was awesome...

    so, having taken Connery's crown (only kidding :s) DC get's to take Daltons' Asriel !

    bring it on!.....:(|)

    I'm also looking forward to The Golden Compass. It would be nice to see Craig's other movie Invasion as well. That's been due out for ages. That kind of delay does not bode well. I still want to see it though.

    There Will Be Blood. Daniel Day-Lewis is an amazing actor and anything he appears in has my interest. I don't think this movie will open this year, but I'm still looking forward to it.
    There's footage here.

    Well here's a strange one, but I can't wait to see it. A Japanese version of Sergio Corbucci's classic Django, courtesy of Miike Takashi.

    I rather like this poster for Clive Owen's new film, Shoot Em Up Love the tagline. :))

    Also, the trailer for Hitman is online. Timothy Olyphant certainly looks the part. Both these films look promising.
