A week to go; who is on not looking forward to it.
I personally cannot wait; the previews looks so good, the visual look and then the performances looks outstanding. Cannot wait to see Heath in the role that will hopefully win his an Oscar.

I know there is like HUGE anticipation for this movie - but I dont know...im not psyched bout it so much, but im definitely gonna go watch it opening weekend. Not really a fan of bale, or the 'darker' batman movies...but im gonna go. And i wish they kept Katie Holmes and NOT brought in Maggie Gylenhaal!!
My movie of the summer (that I was most looking forward to) was Wanted, and it didnt dissapoint....such a kick ass flick! I so wanna curve a bullet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Also wanna watch Sex and the City and The Strangers....tho both movies havent come out here yet!)

i'm not a batman fan at all, but i'm really stoked about seeing this film next week! like Nightflyer said, the look and feel of the previews are just really enticing - the way the effects look and the way Heath portrays the Joker... i can't wait.
as for "The Strangers", it was terrible imo. the first half wasn't bad, but the second was just awful. peoples' tastes are different, so you might like it, but i couldn't stand it... nothing happens until the last 5 minutes, and the ending was terrible.
and yeah, i've heard nothing but good stuff about "Wanted" but i'm worried it's gonna be awful like "Smokin' Aces"...

well..i had to completely skip reading yr post coz i saw the title "The strangers" and ive yet to see it, tho im looking forward to it a lot! I didnt wanna see any plot or story line (i want to watch it with as little knowledge of the movie as i can).... Dude, I havent seen Smoking Aces....but i hav seen Shoot Em Up and its kinda similar....tho Wanted is kinda Matrix'y.....Just go watch Wanted with little expectations...you would be suprised....its action from start to finish.....Angelina is cool...but James McAvoy was the biggest draw!!!! And all the curve-bullet shooting is just the coolest thing!!!!! Im such a sucker for action movies - goes well with my popcorn But like i said, im not a HUGE batman fan, but ill be there opening weekend with the rest of u guys! See u at the boxoffice

don't worry man, i didn't give any plot or anything away.. just my opinion of the film
yeah, "smokin' aces" is a lot like "shoot em up" in ways. i didn't like either one of them... the action was fine and all, it's just that they were both so stupid i don't need a movie to be all brilliant to enjoy it, but those two films were just jokes (plus, "Smokin Aces" had Ray Liotta in it and i can't stand him.)
i like Clive Owen a lot, but "Shoot Em Up" just wasn't one of his best.. i loved him in "Sin City" and "Inside Man" (GREAT movie, btw)
yeah, i'll have to go check out "Wanted" for sure.

Thank You, I though I was the only one who hated Smokin Aces; I actually went out of the room after ten minutes and could not go any further. LOl. The other two movies I have yet to watch, but I am looking forward to Wanted; hope it lives up to the hype.

How can you people still be undecided bout watchin Wanted...when i first saw the trailer like in the beginning of the year, i knew this was my MUST SEE movie of the summer....screw Dark Knight, screw Wall*E and screw Indiana Jones.....This summer, it was Wanted for me.... Just watch the trailer dudes. Angelina Jolie with guns in a speeding car hanging out the window with McAvoy driving...HELLO.....i was sold!!!!!! And if you love MAtrix style effects and shoot em ups....this is your movie. Its the epitome' of the GUY movie....! And HELLO James McAvoy, need I say more!!!!!!! Plus i know i go on and on bout shooting a bullet in a curve, but its just so f**king cool - tho prob totally unrealistic! This weekend is pretty crap tho - was so looking forward to watching something in the cinema, but im stuck with either Hellboy2 or Journey to the centre of the earth - both movies im NOT looking forward too!!! I cant beleive i hav to wait another week for The Dark Knight.....!! (see im not completely hating on it )

I saw it yesterday - and yea...it was major kick-ass'age! Totally long movie tho - 2 and a half hours - but u dont get bored....and its hard to leave for the bathroom midway too, coz either u miss some action sequence, or some plot points (and trust me, u cant miss any of em)... the effects r state of the art too - u dont see any blue-screen and stuff like that. Special effects at its best....! and tons and tons of action - u wont be dissapointed. I mean, i wasnt a huge batman fan, and didnt hav high hopes for this - but i had a fun time in the cinema. love the action - Joker was a good villain, tho not too keen on Two Face, and the less i mention Maggie Gyllenhaal the better - seriously, she does not hav the face for 'damsel in distress'... Overall a solid movie - tho i dont get why people are wetting themselves over it. it was good yes, but not brilliant. the xmen movies are still the best superhero movies to me fact : the little girl in the movie (Police commissioners daughter) - she grows up to be Batgirl!
