Summer '09 Blockbuster Poll

[gotdane]

Select which movie you're most excited about and let me know which ones you plan on seeing in theaters.

 

Going to help me out with a pointless debate.

[Jds03]

Don't you mean '09?

 

I voted for Transformers 2. I thought the first one was going to be dumb like the kid's TV series, but it turned out incredible! And the special effects were amassing.

[chemical_echo]

I'm also going for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, but it's a tough call.

 

Definitely also excited for Ice Age, Half Blood Prince, and Wolverine.

[spaceace12]

I bet dbru will see 2012.

[gotdane]

Don't you mean '09?

 

Doh! Of course.

[Swimace]

I voted for Terminator: Salvation. I was sort of over the Terminator franchise after the third one, but I really like the series on Fox and how the story has evolved beyond the "cat and mouse" format that the first movies mostly followed. I think that the post-apocalyptic war will be a really fresh start for a franchise that got sort of repetitive in my opinion.

[holyblakbelt]

Up looks like a neat movie. I'm looking forward to Harry Potter also, but I'll check the previews for more info about the others.

[rcdude]

I voted for Harry Potter but will probably also go see Star Trek and Terminator: Salvation in theaters.

[cycamps]

I'm pretty excited for Transformers 2. I can't say that I've heard of 2012...

[Manny In England]

Terminators 1 and 2 were a couple of the best films I've watched in my opinion. Despite 3 not being anywhere near as good, I remain enthusiastic for Salvation.

 

Oh and why has no-one mentioned the Watchmen

[BeemerBoy]

I guess Hollywood really wants me to stay home this summer.

[cfc]

^Amen. I did vote for the new "Star Trek" flick, but I think this will be the franshise's last gasp.

 

This poll needs a "none of the above" option.

[krazekiddd]

Um, yeah, I have no life and I'm planning on seeing all of them.

[larrygator]

I'll watch the Wolverine flick when it becomes available on NetFlix as I'm a fan of the X-Men. No way am I wasting my money at a movie theater.

[gisco]

^ Yah, you would rather buy Six Flag stock.

 

I probably will go see most of them but voted for Star Trek.

[mcjaco]

Where's GI Joe: Rise of Cobra?????

[Vid_w]

I'm most excited about HP6, but I'll also watch Angels and Demons, which is after my 2nd favourite book ever, lol, the Ice Age, Transformers and X-Men...

 

That's from the ones above, but from all of them, I'm the most excited about Amulet of Samarkand...

[Carnage]

Oh and why has no-one mentioned the Watchmen

 

Because it's not a summer blockbuster. Isn't it coming out in the winter?

 

I'd probably pick Transformers2 out of that list.

[coasterdude5]

2012 for me. I'm hoping Terminator: Salvation is gonna be awesome but I haven't seen any of the other movies. I'm about the only person who didn't like Transformers but maybe the second one will be better.

[alpengeist04]

I'll probably end up seeing X-Men, Star Trek, Angels & Demons, Terminator, Transformers 2, 2012, and Harry Potter. What can I say, I like going to the movies. Though I'm not sure any these will be as good as The Dark Knight, IronMan, or Wanted. ...I guess we'll see next summer.

[bigstevet07]

Where's GI Joe: Rise of Cobra?????

 

I was wanting to see that, then I saw Marlon Wayans was going to be Ripcord and Brendan Fraser is going to be Gung-Ho. Plus Cobra Commander is the kis who played the lead in 10 Things I hate About You. I really think they did a horrible job casting this movie.

[mcjaco]

^ I didn't care for the Wayans casting, but Fraser for Gung Ho is pretty good (was this verfied, I thought it was a rumor).

 

Gung Ho was a goofball in the comics, so I think he'd fit.

 

Matt "I still have my GI Joe comics" Jacobs

[bigstevet07]

Not sure if IMDB is 100% reliable, but it has him on there. I don't have my G.I. Joe comics anymore, but I do still have the cartoon DVD's. I'll more than likely see it with low expectations since I was such a huge fan and I just saw that the guy who directed Van Helsing directed this. *GASP*

[gotdane]

I made the poll to get the results I wanted! And I have. Including "none of the above" would have done no good for me as I wasn't trying to figure out if anyone doesn't want to see any of the movies but rather which one they would choose if they had to.

 

And G.I. Joe looks horrible (its a Sommers film! LOL) and won't be anywhere close to being one of the top-grossing films next summer. Sorry, Matt!

 

Thanks for voting to those that have...And to everyone else...keep voting!

[ernierocker]

I voted for Harry Potter although this wasn't supposed to be a Summer '09 blockbuster, thanks Universal!

 

I am also looking forward to Angels and Demons. I am not crazy about Tom Hanks in this role, but I always felt that this would make the better transition to a movie than Da Vinci Code.
