Which 2009 Film are we looking forward to the most?

Wow, what a list, eh? Tuff choices ahead...

Not to me; Watchmen, easily. Avatar sounds kind of interesting, if only because it's James Cameron's first project in ages.

For me, it's a tie between Watchmen and Avatar, but since I can only vote for one, I gave mine to Watchmen. I was not a fan of director Zack Snyder's previous film, 300, but I hold out hope that he has given us something special with Watchmen.

Avatar could also be something very special. It's a James Cameron film, and that's all the reason I need to go see it.

I'll believe that Avatar gets released this year when I see it. I'll probably go see Watchmen in spite of 300.

I think, barring Avatar actually getting released this year. that Terminator: Salvation has the most potential to be awesome.

The Watchmen, but also intrigued by Cusack's 2012-probably like The Last Dark:

Spoiler

everybody dies

aside from fantasy/sci fi it doesn't look like a good year for movies...

I have high hopes for Terminator: Salvation as well. (Admittedly, almost all of my hope rests on Christian Bale.)

I was a little surprised to see Avatar mentioned in this poll. I have no clue as to its production status. Don't know if it's a good sign or a bad sign that the film has been in development for so long.

You didn't like 300?
That was one of my favs.
Was it just too over the top unrealistic for you or what?

Watchmen, followed by Star Trek for me.

Wow, it's gonna be a good year for action

I'm extremely excited about four of these (Watchmen, Star Trek, Terminator and Transformers), as well as being curious about two others (Wolverine and Harry Potter). That only leaves Avatar, which I haven't heard of. I'll have to google that one...

Hated the style of the film, and it was so over the top I couldn't stop laughing at it. Certainly not the worst movie I've seen, but it's up there.

For me, it's Transformers 2.

The fact that you seemed to like Transformers Harbor better than 300 scares me...sorry Lore....

I'm sorry . . . I'm missing something here . . .

I think we all are.

Public Enemies for me.

Looks good, even though it's got Depp in it.

Michael Bay/Jerry Brucheimer...

Transformers meets Pearl Harbor (or actually more like Armegeddon)...

Entertaining with little depth...

I get the Transformers Harbour part, but it does not explain the rest of your post - why you had to quote Cail and then reference me.

I'll be honest with you, this is the second time you've made a judgement on my opinions. I'd appreciate it if you just kept your thoughts to yourself about whether me liking Transformers 2 scares you. I never said Michael Bay's movies were classics (I hate PH), but then again, I never said why I like Transformers (I grew up loving the toys). So how about you worry less about what some stranger on the net thinks, and stop making comments about my opinions.

Post by **Cail** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 10:25 pm

Comments about others' opinions are fine.

That said, you've crossed the line with the personal comments Jacob. Reel it in. A lot.

Fri Mar 06, 2009 5:23 am

Okay. Didn't mean (is it spelled the same?) to offend, sorry Lore...

I liked 300 a lot, so I made a joke about Cail not liking it, which might imply that he liked Transformers more (which I thought was a decent flick), but it was Michael Bay...and then I remembered that you were looking forward to the new T2...and stuck that on at the end...it really wasn't a judgement at all...
