I'm excited for almost all of these, which ones are you guys interested in seeing most?
I would like to vote on behalf of Christian Bale - GI Joe.
All of these are going to be cool but no one can kick ass better than Wolverine. [evil]
I would say G.I. Joe would be my close second.
none of them grab me...
of those? star trek and then terminator...
unfortunately, watchmen isn't on your list and would've trumped 'em all.
I'll just go find a good thriller or horror flick ~

Like Friday the 13th??
LOL, it's the highest grossing movie of the year so far, but it ranks the lowest....
Just goes to show that everyone is craving a good revival of a slasher film. [evil]
I am counting the days until "Watchmen", which you didn't put on your list.
Never been a far of the Jason series. Watchmen is on my watch list.

I'm not sure about Watchmen, it looks like it could be good, or it could end up being yet aother comic book movie gone completly in the toillette.
Friday 13th pulled in 42 million dollars, the next closest one pulled in 19.6 million. :-\
I added it to the polling.
All very good choices...I will agree that Watchmen has potential to fall on its face...so...
I will go with...Mutton Chops...Logan.
Wolverine needs to hurry up and get here. Hugh Jackman makes me drool.

I knew I wanted to bear your children for a reason.
I'm going to watch Sin City and Domino again. There's just something about those 2 movies that makes me want to.......................... Dolph :)
I have high hopes that this year will be the revival of GOOD movies. Ever since the writers strike movies have generally been crappy.
We need Cannonball 3, with all of todays stars. [laugh]
The previews for Watchmen that I have seen have not made me want to see the movie at all. I just wanted the preview to go away. Looks like total shit. Sorry to you Watchmen lovers, but that's my opinion. I haven't read the novel.
You're probably right about Watchmen.
The comic was amazing, but the movie can't possibly be as good.
Of that group?
Boobies!
for sure. [laugh]

Taken was good. I don't think most of these movies will be great, but I think at least half will be above average. I'm just looking forward to Transformers cause I'm a dork reliving my 80's childhood through those willing to cash in on my fond memories.
Speaking of which, the casting for GI Joe looks... odd.

Me to. And I totally agree about the casting for G.I. Joe. I'm a Star Trek Fan so I'm really looking forward to the new movie. I hope they get it right this time!!!!
Transformers is getting a bit to mechanical for my taste; they could have done them more like the G1 robots and everyone would have loved'em!
Although, I must say that it is cool to have Peter Cullen doing the voice for Optimus again. It's amazing how many voices he was in in 80's cartoons and TV shows. Off hand he was the voice at the begining of Voltron and the voice of KARR the evil opposite of KITT in Knight Rider.

if you'd read the graphic novel, you'd likely have more appreciation for the way it actually looks.
fwiw, i don't generally watch trailers because they tend to (over)spoil the movies. i watched the original watchmen teaser a year or so ago and that was enough for me to look forward to the release.

i'm most concerned about the running time. it'd be like editing the entire lord of the rings trilogy down to 120 minutes.
i'm really, really looking forward to the (inevitable) ~3hr director's cut dvd release.
