Not a lot of these appeal to me. Wolverine looks pretty cool, but I've been hearing mixed reviews. The only one that I'm really excited about is Terminator Salvation. There are so many things about the Terminator series to like. I'm glad Arnold is gone because the franchise became too dependent on him. This movie looks awesome!

[shadow=red,left,300]Just got back from X-Men Origins: Wolverine! I have to say, I am not very impressed! I don't really care about that they did not stay true to the comics and they took creative liberates with the story, I just wanted to see a good action movie! ***Caution: Spoilers!***+ Hugh Jackman and Liev Schreiber where fantastic! - Several characters just seemed tossed in and did nothing for the story. - The story is terrible! - Unrealistic action scenes! - Seems unfinished. - You don't feel an emotional grab to the characters like you did in the past. +/- Ryan Reynolds was great as Deadpool. but he gets turned into Weapon XI, a mindless drone! But in a twisted way it makes sense! Sine Stryker was annoyed with Wade! I am on the fence with this one. + The CGI was not bad. It's not total garbage, But I think my expectations where to high.

man i saw wolverine last night and it was awful imo. I thought it was great! The weapon X scene awesome and I thought all the supporting characters were really well done, especially blob and Sabretooth, I'm not a big marvel fan, so I don't know much about the other characters, but overall I thought it was very good

eh to each their own. i thought last summer's superhero flicks were all better than that. iron man and the incredible hulk were actually really good marvel movies (i'm not a big marvel fan either), and we all know that TDK was orgasmic.

I saw "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" today and I thought it was quite good. It wasn't very good or anything, but it wasn't horrible or even bad. It wasn't as good as the second or third X-Men movies but it might have been better than the first. I don't remember, I haven't seen the first one in a long time. It also answered a lot of potential questions.

"Star Trek" ain't very good. I saw it at a VIP Pre-Premiere last Monday. It's not a bad movie, but I wanted it to be more.
I'm not even going to waste my money on the new X-Men flick. Most Marvel movies are bad, and from what I've seen, it's going to be the same with this one.
I really hope the new Terminator is going to be good. I just finished my marathon with the previous 3 movies. Let's hope they don't screw up!
2007's Transformers was not what I wanted it to be, but I had fun with it, so I'll go see the new one too.

I'm waiting for Transformers 2, G.I. Joe ( wow all we need now is Rainbow Brite and My Little Pony for an all out 80's assault!), Star Trek, Halloween 2, and Angels and Demons.

man i really want angels and demons to be good bc the book was amazing (better than the da vinci code imo) but i'm worried it'll fail like the da vinci code movie did.

I am a Star Wars buff, but the new Star Trek does intrigue me. Al though, the new Spock bothers me. I don't know why.

I thought Star Trek was going to be terrible, but I was totally wrong! It had an awesome mix of humor, action and just so much fun!
Ten times better then Wolverine!

So did anyone else go see Transformers Revenge of the Fallen?
If you haven't, be thankful. The CGI and action scenes where great, but the story was so bad that it ruins the entire movie! My advice, skip it or wait for it to hit DVD stands!

Im hearing more negative than positive from those who have already gone and seen it. Im shocked. I thought this was going to be great and have lots of praise. We're going to see it Friday for my birthday. Ill give an opinion then.

[shadow=red,left,300]I just got back from the theater as well. The action scenes were great, but the story was awful! If your a person who goes to movies for a good story, skip this movie. If you like action, go!
Personally, I thought it was mediocre. [/shadow]

I went to go see it yesterday. I kind-off liked it. (Warning minor spoilers) My disappointment was the fact that Soundwave stays in outer space and never comes to earth! And Arcee had alot of promise, but she went completely unused. Instead they give screen time to stupid characters that don't even matter or help the story. But I did like Wheelie, since he helped move the story along and was pretty funny! It was immature humor, but I laughed anyway!

After all, Elektra is my favorite of all the Marvel Knights movies made so far. I went and saw 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' today and I did not think the story was bad at all. It was actually quite good. The movie was not as good as the first by any means, but it was still quite good. Not groundbreaking, but still good.

I just saw G.I.Joe: The Rise of Kobra and it was really good. I don't know too much about G.I. Joe but I was able to figure out who Duke, Hawk, Scarlet, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, and Baroness are. But I never understood which Joes the black guy with the Brittish accent and the brown guy with the French accent were. Does anybody know?
