Summer Movies 2012

Avengers is right around the corner!

Some critics have already viewed the movie, so far 25 positive reviews 1 negative.

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/marvels_the_avengers/

Prometheus marks the return of Ridley to the Alien franchise. There's no way it can suck right? This is what it would be like if Cameron came back to Terminator.

Another Bourne movie is always a good thing. Whether or not Renner can fill Damon's shoes is yet to be seen, but the name Bourne has become a symbol of quality. I'm sure the team behind Bourne Legacy is well aware of the standards they need to uphold.

Men In Black III. 2 kinda blew so I'm not too excited for this movie. Solid reviews could get me interested. I must say, Brolin nailed Jones's Agent K though.

The Amazing Spider-Man. Seems kind of fast for a reboot. Smells like an unnecessary cash grab. We'll see.

Oh yeah, that little movie The Dark Knight Rises is coming out too I hear.

If Prometheus, TDKR, and The Avengers hit the mark, the world can truly end in 2012 and I'll be fine with that

I'm not into Marvel stuff but even The Avengers looks awesome.

And Tim Burton + Johnny Depp = Win.

Nothing especially captures my interest, but TDKR and Prometeus are the likely must-see movies. Might as well pitch in avengers.

The Hulk took five years to do a reboot.

Didn't I see this Renner guy is Hurt Locker? And that was amazing. So I'm pretty sure the new Bourne will be just as good.

I also want to see Snow White and the Huntsman (Hello Thor!), Brave (New Disney CGI movie), G.I. Joe: Retaliation (although I could wait until DVD), and The Expendables 2 (Hell! Yeah!).

We are going to see The Avengers, Prometheus, and The Dark Knight Rises. Spiderman does not interest me in the least and I don't want to see Quantum Leap in Black.

The only reason I would see this is because two of the midgets from Pit Boss were cast and I am curious to see if their acting is as bad on the big screen.

I forgot about Brave. That looks fantastic.

Men in Black is sooo 90s.

The Snow White movie looks good except that they cast Bella Swan

Dark Shadows looks promising. Big fan of Tim Burton (plus I have personal interest at stake).


The old man-to-be wants to see The Avengers, but I'm not really interested... the only character I'd want to see would be Iron Man but the rest are throw-aways to me.

Neil Young Journeys is about the only thing I'm interested in so far that I've heard about.

I had to laugh at MiB III. MiB was awesome... back in '97. Then II sort of ruined the vibe. I don't really see III bringing in anything new.

This! (except for the Avgeners thing... I gotta wait)

Plus MIB3 has Jemaine from Flight of the Conchords. How can you not be excited for that?

Plus Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith OTP!!
