Re: Summer Movie Preview
Man there are a lot of great movies coming out this Summer. I'm personally looking forward to Iron Man, Chronicles of Narnia (hope this one's better than the last, but I'll still go), Indiana Jones, Get Smart, WALL•E, The Dark Knight, and X-Files.

Re: Summer Movie Preview
Hmm. Honestly, I'm not that excited about a lot of them.
I will DEFINITELY see:
The Dark Knight.
I will PROBABLY see:
WALL•E
Indiana Jones
I will AVOID:
The Incredible Hulk. (Honestly, I though the first one was decent enough and I don't want to see it fucked up.)
Prince of Caspian (Yawn.)
Pineapple Express (I loved Superbad but Drillbit Taylor left a really bad taste in my mouth and I really don't like the premise here.)

Re: Summer Movie Preview
Edward Norton doesnt seem like an ideal Dr.Banner. Anyone else think this?

Exactly. And there's absolutely NO reason to not have Jennifer Connelly again. She's flipping hot.

Are you saying you don't want to see The Dark Knight?
I wish I had banning powers right now!

Re: Summer Movie Preview
Dark Knight is a definite...Wall-E and Get Smart are maybes...Not all that exciting really...Never seen an Indiana Jones before, so I don't want to jump straight to number 4...
I'll check the independent theaters, maybe something decent will come of that.

Re: Summer Movie Preview
Wow... I don't remember seeing a single "Summer Blockbuster" last year...
I see at least 3 on that list that I just might have to go and see...
Dark Knight, X-Files, maybe Indiana Jones, and maaaaaaaybe Get Smart... I'm a Steve Carell fan, but if it gets terrible reviews (such as say, Bewitched, which he was also in) I may just have to skip it...
Good times...

X-Files is going to be so cool. And I'm still holding out for a Spider-Man 4!

Re: Summer Movie Preview
I'm looking forward to Iron Man. Robert Downey Jr. is the man, and even if the script sucks I'm sure he'll deliver. Plus Iron Man is fucking awesome, Marvel >>>>>> anything else.
Indiana Jones is going to ruin the original movies, I just get that feeling. Raiders of the Lost Ark will always be a classic, so it doesn't really matter. I'm still going to see Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Hellboy II looks amazing! Directed by Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrnth), I have really high hopes. Also, the first Hellboy is easily one of the best comic book movies to come out....maybe the best, the only contender is Sin City.
I didn't like the first Hulk movie so hopefully they don't botch the new one, but I have low hopes.
Now, for the Dark Knight, I have insanely high hopes. It will be nice to get Batman back on track. I really enjoyed Batman Begins, because it was an undeniably awesome _action movie_, but I don't know if it was a flawless Batman movie. The final fight sequence wasn't that great, and the movie was overlong. It was also trying to pass off some moral bullshit, and there was way to much pseudo-preachy crap at the beginning. I mean, Batman is a comic character after all. I personally thought the art style in Batman Forever was pretty good, despite the terrible story and acting. And thus far, NO ONE has captured the spirit of the Tim Burton films. These are comic book movies after all, a little campiness never hurt and everything doesn't have to be super realistic. I also think that this mindset is what hindered Casino Royale from feeling like a true Bond film. Right now there’s this trend to avoid campiness and art style and focus more on realism and drama in Hollywood. Batman shouldn’t be a drama and neither should Bond. That is one reason why Hellboy was such a good film, it was campy and had great art style
And if anyone says that Daniel Craig is the closest to Fleming’s Bond as Hollywood has gotten, I don’t really care. Cinema Bond is not Fleming’s Bond, he’s a different, much more entertaining, character.
