Which Summer Movies are you looking forward to? (2008 Edition)- Page 2

Well, I'm a helpless fan of most of Pixar's output, so I'm looking forward to seeing WALL-E. The plot looks interesting, and I'm sure it will be gorgeous to look at.

Of course, it could wind up being another crock of CARS. We'll see. At least it isn't another damn INDIANA JONES flick.

I cannot WAIT for Hamlet 2 to come out, I have a feeling that's going to be awesome. Also Mammia Mia (for Dominic Cooper's fine swimsuit bod ) and Sex and the City are also looking pretty great.

WALL-E
DARK KNIGHT
MAMMA MIA!

That's it. What a sh*tty year for summer movies.

I actually saw a preview for this movie when I went to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Josh Bell looks cute in the preview.

"What's the big deal about WALL-E?"

It's a Pixar film. And they have yet to make a bad one. I would say they have yet to make even a mediocre one, but I wasn't the biggest fan of CARS.

Mama Mia for the hot guys in shorts.

CARS was worse than mediocre, it was just plain BAD. After THE INCREDIBLES, CARS was a huge letdown. Feh. CARS. Feh.

All of Pixar's films:

Toy Story
A Bug's Life
Toy Story 2
Monster's Inc.
Finding Nemo
The Incredible
Cars
Ratatouille

I adore most of those films (CARS being the ONLY exception).

So I'm pretty amped for Wall-E.

Mamma Mia goes without saying. I'm going to opening night of Sex and the City because a friend of mine is obsessed with it. I saw the trailer for Hamlet 2 and it resembles something like Waiting for Guffman if you remove all the humor and intelligence and replace them with piles of steaming garbage. I didn't think anything could make Epic Movie look like a comedic masterpiece, but Hamlet 2 might actually accomplish that feat.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that MAMMA MIA is going to be a huge, huge bomb.

as long as there are lots of hot young guys in speedos Mama Mia will be a hit with me

Just Sex and the City. I haven't been THIS excited about a movie in a LOOOOONG time

Speed Racer to me looks like a big headache. I just doesn't look right, I mean it was interesting concept for them to create real life anime, but it just doesn't look right.

My sister was telling me that there were some kids in one of her classes talking about KOTCS(Kingdom of The Crystal Skull) and saying how bad it looks and how stupid and yada yada yada and my sister said, "Did you even see any of the Indy films?" to which they replied No and she said "First see the films before you judge them to be bad." They aren't that bad of films, I mean sure Temple of Doom is the darkest of all three, but there still enjoyable films and I'm really excited to see KOTCS. My mom is excited too since she loves Harrison.

I've seen the Indy movies. The first one is mostly amusing, the other two suck. TEMPLE OF DOOM remains the low point of Spielberg's career, with the possible exception of the last 5 minutes of WAR OF THE WORLDS.

MAMMA MIA probably won't bomb. I don't know, I couldn't care less, I sat through the show for free and it was occasionally amusing, and I didn't want to hunt down and kill everyone associated with it. The movie will have to wait for cable.

SPEED RACER might be worth a look, just to drink in how really awful it all is. I can't imagine it'll be any good at all, and whatever virtues it possesses will probably be visual, requiring a big screen.

Still waiting for WALL-E.

In order:
1) Sex and the City
2) The Dark Knight
3) Indiana Jones
4) The Happening
5) Wall-E

I don't think MAMMA MIA will be as successful in the US as say HAIRSPRAY was. I think it might go the way of SWEENEY TODD. Having said that, I am still going to be excited for it when it comes out, I'll watch it, and I can't imagine Meryl Streep being anything less than perfect.

Narnia, The Dark Knight, Sex and the City, Mamma Mia, Sisterhood 2, Hamlet 2, Indiana Jones...pretty much in that order.

[Roscoe]

The trailer for THE DARK KNIGHT, which we saw before IRON MAN, made me even more interested in seeing it. The clips of Heath Ledger were wonderful. Alas, the rest of the movie looks like business as usual, more guilt-tripping from Bruce Wayne.

June
Kung Fu Panda (6/6)
The Incredible Hulk (6/13)
Get Smart (6/20)
Wall E (6/27)

July
The Dark Knight (7/18 )
Mamma Mia! (7/18 )


August

Pineapple Express (8/8
Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants 2 (8/8
Tropic Thunder (8/15)

I would be for -The Accidental Husband (8/22) but I saw it a few months ago by chance, and thought it was good, I like cheesy romantic comedies and it was right up my alley.

"I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that MAMMA MIA is going to be a huge, huge bomb"

It could be. I feel bad for it since it opens the same weekend as The Dark Knight. Usually I hope for a movie musical to do well, but that weekend belongs to The Dark Knight. Warner Brothers picked the best time for the movie to come out seeing that it doesn't really have to compete against Iron Man, Prince Caspian, KOTCS, Hulk, or alot of the other big movies of the summer. The only real competition is has are Hancock and Hellboy II.

I'm very interested in Wall E. It looks like it should be really good. Disney actually had an animatronic version of Wall E going around Disneyland.
