2011, movies, and you.

[Random_fan]

So we have a thread for games your looking forward to, the next obvious thread is one for movies your looking forward to this year.

The main ones I'm looking forward to are Thor, Captain America, X-men first class and the new pirates of the Caribbean, and to a lesser extent Green Lantern. But one that I only just found out about today, yet know I'm going to be seeing no matter what is called sucker punch, and it's about a group of women who try and escape from an asylum using their dreams, dreams which involves giant robots, dragons, and nazis, here's a trailer.

[gamebrain89]

Three words. Cowboys and Aliens.

[MrRigger2]

Thor is on the top of my list, and so is Sucker Punch. I Am Number Four looks somewhat promising as well.

MrRigger

Sucker Punch is much lower on mine, but I have serious doubts about No 4. I kept looking at the trailer thinking CLICHE! over and over. Will still probably see.

[Phht]

Sucker Punch is about the only one I can think of that I'd like to see, though I know I'm forgetting some.

Though I think I prefer the first trailer to that one.

EDIT: Drive Angry looks interesting for an action flick. And Priest, well it just looks cool.

[Calinero]

Cowboys and Aliens looks as though it will be either totally awesome or completely terrible. I'm hoping for the former.

[gamebrain89]

Daniel Craig with a ray gun fighting aliens from horseback. Even if it gets shot down in reviews, I have an obligation to watch it. But yeah, its either going to be totally freaking awesome or complete garbage.

2011 Movies I have seen and some I would like to see.

I have seen the following this year.

Thor: I liked this the best.
Captain America: The second reason this year while Marvel rules in the theatres.
Green Lantern: I almost didn't go see this because of the reviews but I liked it. Good but not great.
Cowboys and Aliens: The first half of the movie was great the last half was kind of weak for me.
Pirates of the Caribbean: The franchise managed to redeem itself.
Red Riding Hood: Rented this from Netflix. It was better than I expected but I’m glad I didn’t pay to go see it in the theatre.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes: I was pleasantly surprised with this and enjoyed it quite a bit.
Transformers 3: This is now the bar that I measure all bad movies against. IE: Man that movie was bad. Was it Tranformers 3 bad?

Movies I would like to see.
Conan the Barbarian: Definite wait for DVD quality.
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo: I am looking forward to this one.
Hanna: Supposedly Hanna would beat Hit Girl to a bloody pulp.
Harry Potter : I have never seen an HP movie in the theatre. I cringe when I watch the movies. Seeing the special effects and locations were great though.
I Am Number Four: Too many mixed reviews. I decided to wait to rent it. Has anyone seen this?
Sucker Punch: I’m not sure if I want to see this one. It looks like it has the potential to be Transformers 3 bad.
The Three Musketeers: Loosely based on the novel by Alexander Dumas. Some of the characters have the same name but anything else that is similar to the book is pure coincidence. I still want to see it but there is no way I will pay admission at the theatre.
Super 8: Has anyone seen this? What did you think?
X-Men: First Class: I still can’t believe I missed seeing this in the theatre.

Did I miss anything worth noting?

X-Men: Epic movie.
Conan pulled a Wolverine: Origins and ruined the entire movie for me at the end. Worth watching once though.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is a must see, better than every movie they have made for the books.
Have seen I Am Number Four, and it was pretty good.

I gave up around movie 5, but were the last 3 Harry Potter any good? Are they worth the 7-9 hours I'll probably lose forever to watch?

Only the last two.

I just found this on IMDB. It looks pretty good.

I haven't seen 6, just reading the changes made me angry I'd probably throw something at my TV if I watched it, but both Deathly Hallows weren't terrible, they weren't great, they might have been better if someone had realised that the movies could actually have a dramatic moment though.

Typical, there's always one jackass who has to go and ruin everything.

[Farmer_10]

It's because of crap like that that humanity's probably never gonna develop super-powers. We'll be constantly waiting for that first lab accident that will just f___ up everyone's good time. Lines will be drawn in the sand, sides will have to be chosen. *sighs* We can never have nice things.

You might want to clarify who/what you're talking about here Dark.

[MrRigger2]

I believe he was the talking about the teen in the trailer who randomly shoves a truck off the road, likely killing a man, then shown in a junkyard idly crushing a car while staring menacingly at the camera.

Whew... Thanks for clearing that up. For a moment I thought I had done something wrong.

[Darkandus]

Sorry for any misunderstanding. I was indeed commenting on the guy abusing his powers for chaos and murder.

[Zankaru Zelladonii]

If we ever do get super-powers it is inevitably going to be someone with skewed morals.

[doc.exe]

It looks interesting. The only particular issue I have it's the fake documentary format. While I have enjoyed some movies in that format, almost all of them inevitably end up stretching my suspension of disbelief too far. Simply put, there comes a moment where you just don't believe anyone would really keep filming with such a high level of danger in his surroundings, that the camera battery would have lasted for that long or that the camera wouldn't have gotten destroyed by that point anyway. Also, certain scenes just can't help it but seem too conspicuous as "classic movie exposition" rather than what people would actually film if it was a proper documentary.

That is definitely a problem along with the constant motion and poor picture quality. I don't really care for staring up someone's nose during the filming, Blair Witch style.
