Movies - Summer Movie Season 2008

**ROCKSTAR** · 05-04-2008, 07:48 PM

Yes, it's that time of the year already! Iron Man opened the Summer movie season with a bang making $100M in its first week and conquering the Box Office along the way.

What movie are looking forwar the most? The least? Which one will make the most money? Which will flop? Start your predictions.

I'm seriously anxious for The Dark Knight! I think that movie will be incredible. The Happening is the other one I can't wait to see. I've never seen an Indiana Jones movie so I'm not excited for the new one, I doubt I'll go see it.

Some of the big movies coming up:

Hellboy II: The Golden Army (July 11)

Hancock (July 2)

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (May 22)

Wanted (June 27)

The Dark Knight (July 18)

Sex and the City (May 30)

Speed Racer (May 9)

The Happening (June 13)

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (May 16)

The Incredible Hulk (June 13)

WALL-E (June 27)

Threads of Summers past:

Summer Movie Season 2004
Best movie of the 2004 summer
Best/Worst Movie of the 2005 Summer
Worst Movie of the 2004/2007 Summer (Merged)

Our 2006 thread appears to be malfunctioning.

Last year was the summer of the trilogy and this summer is the summer of the Superhero!

The film I'm the most excited to see it The Dark Knight. It looks absolutely amazing!!!

I'll be seeing Narnia, Indy, Zohan, Hulk, Happening, Wanted, Love Guru, Hancock, Hellboy, Batman, Step Bros, Pineapple Express, and Tropic Thunder for sure. There are others I'll wait to see on DVD rather than in theatres.

I cannot wait to see:

The Dark Knight (July 18)
The Happening (June 13)
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (May 16)

Those are my top three, not in any particular order.

**BrucasLOVEOTH** · 05-05-2008, 05:24 PM

^ I cant wait to see both of those movies too! But what is The Happening?

**jackiehydelover** · 05-05-2008, 05:42 PM

It's the new M. Night Shyamalan... The trailer is unintentionally hilarious though

My top 3 too!!
Those I won't miss for sure.
I'm not much into superheroes movies but I think this summer we'll get some good ones.

Dark Knight and The Happening are my most anticipated. But, I'll probably see all the big ones.

Mine would be:

1. The Dark Knight - Because I am a huge Bale fan and eversince I saw the ending of Batman Begins, where the Joker card was revealed, I have been following any news that comes along with the Dark Knight. I even take part of those viral marketing they did. It is so surreal that the movie will be just months to go!
2. Prince Caspian - Mainly because of Ben Barnes, the new guy I am obsessed about these days.
3. Hellboy 2 - What really draws me to watch is the trailer and Del Toro's name.
4. Incredible Hulk - Solely because of Norton. The trailer kind of sucks for me but I'm still watching it because of Norton.
5. Iron Man!!! - I still have not watched it. I heard it is really good

6. Wanted - JAMES MCAVOY! Honestly though the plot seems like The Matrix.
7. Pineapple Express - The trailer really made me laugh out loud!

So The Dark Knight (July 18) is the last to be shown out of the summer movies listed here right? Eek I can't wait!

I'm not a huge fan of the superhero movies, so I'll probably wait for those to come to DVD, but Dark Night has me the most intrigued because of Heath Ledger's performance.

ash515 · 05-06-2008, 02:27 AM

my most anticipated are in order of release date:

Speed Racer
Prince Caspian
Indiana Jones 4
Kung Fu Panda
Get Smart
Wall-E
The Dark Knight
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2

I'm so freakin' stoked for these.
