Summer Blockbusters!

Penny · Summer Blockbusters!

So many big movies out this Summer - which have you seen, which are you planning on seeing, and which ones are you giving a miss?

I haven't been to the cinema in ages - I seem to keep getting distracted by other things (pub!) whenever I plan a night at the cinema.

So, I haven't seen any of this Summer's blockbusters yet.

I'll give Indiana Jones a miss, since I've heard really awful reviews from everyone I know who's been to see it. It sounds terrible. I'll wait for The Incredible Hulk on DVD, although that could be good as Ed Norton is in it. I'll wait for Iron Man on DVD too, even though I've heard its great.

Really want to see - SATC, Batman - I think this is going to be amazing, and The X-Files 2.

Looking forward to Prom Night and a movie called Teeth where a woman finds teeth in her vagina lol,its a horror movie (at least i think it is called Teeth).

Oh and Prince Caspien too. I love Narnia,i want to cuddle Aslan.

THD

Batman definitely. The trailers look unbelievable. Didn't they do a Hulk film a few years ago. I remember going to see it in the cinema. Quite poor if I cam remember right. I was going to see Indiana Jones in the cinema too but then I heard the bad reviews so I might wait until DVD. It might taint my image of the 'originals' which I loved, like the Bond ones (except for Casino Royale which was good).

To be honest that's all if I do get to the cinema over the summer. I rarely go, the last film I saw was 30 Days of Nights. (Awful). I normally only go over mid term breaks when there's a group of people around.

Penny

^ Yeah, that Hulk a few years ago was meant to be really awful, but this one has a much better cast. Ed Norton is a very good actor.

Nene, I so want to see Prince Caspian too - forgot about that one.

Teeth....sounds a bit strange??

Indiana Jones was better than I was expecting. It's not as good as either Raiders Of The Lost Ark or The Last Crusade but it is a lot more enjoyable than I was expecting.

Iron Man was fantastic and could be the best Marvel franchise yet.

The trailers for the Hulk and Batman look really good and I'm looking forward to both of them.

Not sure about Prom Night, the original was quite good ( it even had Leslie Nielsen in it ) but was followed by some quite appalling sequels.

^ I am looking forward to Prom Night, too I am a sucker for those types of films.

Indy Jones was OK, it was actually better than I expected since all of the reviews were so poor. I was entertained at least, I would suggest just waiting for the rental though.

I know it is a bit old but I just rented Semi-Pro with Will Farrell a few days ago it is pretty funny. Not his best but also not his worst but worth a rental I say

I can't believe I haven't seen SATC yet. I was pretty addicted to the TV series.

^S^

I watched "Indiana Jones & sth" ... it was the second worst movie I've ever seen shocked

... at least the worst Indiana Jones!... just wasting 2 hours of your beautiful life angry

I downloaded "Kong Fu Panda" but haven't watched it yet, but i think it'll be fun. thumbsup

Penny

^ What was the worst movie ever??

^S^

Penny

lol! Ok, makes sense....

maybe....

Iron Man-I didnt engage with the plot too much but Downey Jr was suprisingly good in it.

Where in the world........-Morgan Spurlock is a genius. This film is hilarious yet quite heartwarming. Well worth the admission fee alone for the Osama 'U Cant Touch This' scene.

Indiana Jones-Awful script, awful plot, awful film.

Really dont want to see Batman due to Heath Ledger-the trailers look quite scary with the character he is playing and id be uncomfortable watching it to be honest.

^ OH my lord! I was wondering why it was called teeth. That would really suck lol

Penny

Lmao! Oh, so many bad and distasteful jokes spring to mind...

funkymonkey

^The trailer is pretty hilarious!!!

It features a gynecologist examining her and losing his finger ends! giggle

and another poor sod who makes the mistake of helping her lose her virginity and ends up with something worse than his finger ends missing! shocked

Penny

^ Lmao!

I must watch the trailer. It sounds like one of those movies thats so bad, its good. Maybe...

Edit: Just watched the trailer.

It looks terrible!

I laugh my tits off everytime I see the trailer for this film. I'd like to have teeth in my ladycave, but more along the 'cat's claws' theme. That way, they can be retracted but if someone's not 'seeing to me' sufficiently to my liking they can come out and bit his nob off!

I thought Indy was awesome, loved it. Just bought the first three as well now. I wanna see that new Will Smith one, except I can never remember what it's called ha ha!

funkymonkey

^lmao Flakey your just plain wrong! rofl

I pity the fool who has sexual congress with you and doesn't step up to the mark!

clevelandspur

^LMAO Flakey that is hilarious.

Lou Cipher

Thanks for that. No brother should ever have to suffer a mental picture of his sister's ladycave, let alone with teeth in. sick

funkymonkey

Flakey Sugar Butt

Sorry big brother dear!

Penny

Has anyone seen The Hulk yet?

I've heard mixed reviews.

funkymonkey

I've not seen it yet, I was thinking about just downloading it but not sure.

I'd heard it's vastly superior to the first movie but still not brilliant, bit of a 3 star out of 5 type. Apparently they ignore the first film completely and even go through the origin of the Hulk again during the titles.

crazychick

Has anyone seen The Dark Knight?

I think it looks really good and I'm hoping to see it tomorrow. I have a cousin who lives in America and he saw it a while ago as it came out earlier over there and he said it was brilliant.

I only realised yesterday that the Joker is Heath Ledger! From the adverts it looks like he has done a great job at playing the Joker.

Penny

The Dark Knight is pretty amazing. Heath and Aaron Eckhart are both great in their roles.

I might be going to see The X-Files movie tonight, but I've heard its not great.

jonnysmig

I'm debating whether to see Kung Fu Panda or Wall-E tomorrow night

Any tips?

Penny

^ They wouldn't appeal to me, but friends have told me that Wall-E is very good. I haven't heard anything about Kung Fu Panda.

Flakey Sugar Butt

crazychick

Apparently Wall-E is really good Jonny and I'm hoping to go and see that next week! It looks so cute!
I'm seeing Dark Knight this afternoon and can't wait!

Penny

Wall-E was ok, the message behind the film was good and the way that the film was written was good.

The problem that I had was that there isn't much narration or lines in the film and it is quite slow.

As it's a Disney-Pixar film it's made to the usual good standards but this one probably has the weakest storyline and for me never really gets going...

For the girls, the wife thought that it was cute
