    Ok, so this summer is going to have a *lot* of movies that look pretty good...well, to me at least. :p

    My question is, of the dozens of movies that will be comming to theaters this spring and summer, which ones do you like, and which do you not like? :skeptic:

    I made a poll that has some of the major 'blockbusters', and you get to vote "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" for each one. And relax, I only fixed two of the questions... :D :rolling:

    MI:3... well, as much as I like Tom Cruise, he just can't save this sinking franchise. It was bad in MI, it was worse in MI:2, and it can probably only get worse in MI:3. Thumbs down :(

    I enjoyed X-men immensely, and X-men2 even more, so here is to hoping that X-men3 manages to surpass its predecessors. :)

    I didn't really like Batman Begins, so I am highly skeptical about Superman Returns (although it is directed by Bryan Singer, the man who gave us the yummy X-men and X-men2). Thumbs down :skeptic:

    I surprisingly had a whole lot of fun in Pirates of the Caribbean, as the movie was saved, only by Johnny Depp's wonderful performance as the eccentric but absolutely insane and hilarious Jack Sparrow. Here is to hoping that he can pull it off again Arrr! Thumbs up for this, Matey!

    DaVinci Code... well, never read the book, and I don't think that I ever will. Doesn't really appeal to me... so, a thumbs down, I'm afraid.

    Bruce Willis... he is so cool, that any movie that he acts in gets an automatic thumbs up. No question asks. That aside, the trailer looks pretty promising. It had me laughing in stitches, so that has to be a good thing right?

    The other movies get a thumbs down, as they do not sound very appealing/never heard of it/do not like the actors/do not care. Pick whichever is suitable :cool:

    I gave X3 a thumbs down. Not a fan of X-men films, not really. Plus, I don;t like Archangel, he gets on my nerves.

    The others, well, the comedy ones look good (More Wayans bros, yay!), but Colin Farrell? Yuck.

    And Keira Knightly in by no means hot. Why do you think we sent her to Hollywood? :D

    Sorry Kit I would have voted but there wasn't a don't give a damn answer as I don't know about this film.

    But answers would have been

    MI:3 I'd watch if it was a rainy day and there was nothing else on. Not a fan of the talentless dwarf.

    Poseidon didn't like the original can't see me liking this one

    X3 been waiting for this one hope it doesn't disappoint and is as good as the first 2. Best comic adaptation by hollywood.

    Superman Returns oh please hated the comic, hated the first films, will this be better unlikely.

    Pirates of the Caribbean 2, Jack Sparrow one of Depp's finest creations, anticipating this one.

    Miami Vice would someone come up with something original please, no wouldn't be the same

    DaVinci Code have read the book and read the supposed shock ending before in other works of a more historical nature, not interested in the film

    The Breakup know nothing about this sounds like a lame rom/com dismiss as chick flick

    Nacho Libre redeeming feature for this is Jack Black, probably will catch it at some stage.

    Click again no idea but Adam Sandler and Kate Beckinsale make it worth a look-over

    The rest never heard of and need to know more about. Cartoons come in two forms as far as i'm concerned Anime and Manga :lol:

    I'm with DS. THe only movie on your list that's worth the price of the babysitter is Pirates of the Caribbean. The rest... MI:3 and X3 are likely rentals. I *might* spring for DaVinci Code when it comes on pay-per-view, but that's about it. The rest aren't worth the effort of scrolling down, IMO.

    :lol: Rally, you know, two of the movies I listed are family type movies... :p

    I *was* a fan of Tom Cruise...until he turned out to be a weirdo, and MI2 and Minority Report really sucked. I won't be seeing MI3...or any of his other movies he makes after this.

    I never liked any of the superman movies, and this new one isn't going to change anything. :skeptic: :rolling:
