As summer approaches us so too do the summer blockbusters. My question is what film are you most eager to see this summer and why?
For me I can't wait to see The Dark Knight Rises. I love Christopher Nolan's films and feel that he is one of the most influential directors of this generation.

I can wait to see The Dark Night Rises either
I also cant wait to see Frankenweenie 0 -
Avengers, Whedon did a really good job on the X-Men comics, so I know he knows his comics and I can't wait to see what he did with this.
Amazing Spider-Man, I am in the minority that didn't like Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man, although the movies as a whole weren't bad. I think Garfield is a better fit, so I'm hoping for the best.
The Dark Knight Rises, I've been a Nolan fan ever since I got a screener copy of Memento summer of 2001.0 -
That's My Boy is one I won't miss, I love Sandler and Samberg.....
Not really a fan of action, and it does not seem like a lot of great comedies are coming out this summer...
There was nothing at all to see at the movies this week, and next week's posting just went up, and nothing again.....

I was reading an Entertainment Weekly today at the dentist, and I saw another movie that I will go see this summer
The Campaign
Looks like it might be very funny.....
There was one other one too, but now I cannot remember what it was called....0 -
I think I'm going to add Borne Legacy, Killer Joe, and maybe Ted to my list of summer movies. Prometheus is on the fence for me because I feel that the movie can go either way and being a big fan of the Alien series I really don't want it ruined.0

Ted is SO strange looking.....not sure if I will see that or not....
Neighborhood Watch was the name of the other comedy I could not think of yesterday....0 -
The Avengers
Dark Shadows
Men In Black III
Prometheus
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
The Amazing Spider-Man
Savages
The Dark Knight Rises
The Bourne Legacy
And for some fluff, Hick, Brave, That's My Boy, ParaNorman
.. and I don't have a real reason for any of them other than I love movies, especially action and it's something me and my kid share together0 -
snow white and the huntsman just because kristen stewart is in it0
-
i cant wait to see avengers and ab lincoln: vampire hunter.0

I saw the Avengers on opening night and it's going to be hard for anything else to beat that but:
Prometheus
The Amazing Spiderman
The Dark Night Rises0 -
Just saw the trailer for God Bless America and it looks really funny. I hope that it opens to a wider audience so that I can see it in theaters.0
-
Dark Knight Rises all the way!!!! I am one of the biggest batman fans you will ever meet. I saw Avengers and it was absolutely AMAZING!!!..... but I think those are the only 2 movies I'll see this summer. I'll wait for the others to hit dvd.0

The Expendables 2 - I grew up watching most of these guys. Love the 80's action throwback of the first one and think this one will be at least as good as that if not better.
Dark Knight Rises - I know it will be great, Nolan has done awesome things with the batman franchise but I'm a little weary of the story line. Hearing little blurbs about the movie here and there, seeing the trailers, and knowing some of the actually comic book story line involved with this particular villian i worry I might know where the story is going and I don't particularly care for it. Hopefully I am wrong, Nolan is an intelligent filmaker he knows what he is doing. That said, regardless of the direction of the movie, I have no doubt it will be a fun, action packed, beautifully filmed, summer blockbuster0 -
I think The Bourne Legacy trailer looks awesome. I'm kind of on the fence about Total Recall but I think I might give it a try as well.0

I've been seeing The Bourne Legacy posters all over and never really gave it any thought. I went and watched the trailer for it and must admit it definitely has potential. Jeremy Renner is one of those actors who I never actually seek out but when he pops up in movies, more often than not, I'm pleasantly surprised. I might have to check this one out to see how he carries over the franchise.
missmorninglory - I am right there with you on Total Recall, on the fence. Loved the one from 1990, haven't been in love with the trailers for the new one, i don't hate them mind you, just haven't seen anything that makes me say "I gotta go see this!" I'll probably wait and see what others say about it and wing it from there.0 -

Exactly! On all counts
I am a Jeremy Renner fan and I was a little concerned about him becoming the 'new' Bourne but the trailer is pretty impressive. I was also pretty excited about Total Recall but the trailer just doesn't 'grab' you like it should. 0 -
So far I've seen Avengers, Prometheus, Abe Lincoln vampire, and Snow White. Loved Avengers and Abe and just liked the other two. I'm looking forward to The Dark Knight, Bourne, and The Watch. I'm only the fence about spider man but mostly because I'm tired of seeing the trailer. Completely agree about Jeremy Renner - he's pretty good.0

I'm so glad you mentioned Abe Lincoln! I have some extra time this week and I was trying to decide if I should check it out. I haven't seen Prometheus and I was pretty disappointed with Snow White.
The rest of my summer is all about waiting for The Bourne Legacy. I can't wait to see this movie!!0 -
I think The Watch looks ok....not sure, wish it did not have a sci-fi tone, or I would see it for sure...
Anyone see Ted yet? Can't decide if I want to see that or not.
I was hoping as people saw movies they would post a topic for them like I have been doing, but not sure if that is happening, lol0 -

I agree! I would like to see more film buffs posting. However, I thought MFP had more than enough Magic Mike threads for this week lol. I actually keep a film notebook of sorts, maybe I'll dig through there for something to talk about
I only know of one person that saw Ted, so I'm not gonna recommend it on that but it did seem to get good reviews.0 -
I am looking forward to seeing
TED
Magic Mike
Madea witness protection
Will have to check out Avengers
so many other movies0 -
The Bourne Legacy
Jeremy Renner can't wait to see him in this!
and of course Magin Mike **purely cinematic reasons
