May Blockbusters

[Mark]

X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Star Trek, Angels & Demons and Terminator Salvation are all due in May. Which will you see? Are there other blockbusters of note due in May or thereabouts?

 

[Wombat]

I will probably see Star Trek, just to see what they do with it.

No way am I going to watch Angels & Demons -- I read the book and it annoyed me even more than The DaVinci Code, which simply amazed me. Brown is a terrible writer.

Wolverine? Only if friends of mine all get together at one time. I liked X-2; I got lost (as a non-comic-book-person) in X-1, and when I got dragged to X-3 I found it to be pretty much horrible with small flashes of brilliance.

Very likely Wolverine, Star Trek, and Terminator - but this is highly subject to change after hearing word-of-mouth after their releases.

(For example, I skipped Watchmen and wait for the blu-ray, after reading every single interview with the director that I was exposed to having him blather on about the DVD release and mention almost nothing about the movie itself. (OTOH, I'm looking forward to watching the DVD/blu-ray release!))

Star Trek is my first choice to see in May, then Wolverine, then Terminator, as far as other blockbusters maybe Night at the Museum II: Escape from the Smithsonian.

I'll see Star Trek on opening night. I think it looks wonderful.

After seeing the theatrical trailer, I'm sold enough on the Wolverine movie to see it, thanks to the plethora of X-Men that seem to be in it, particularly Gambit. I have something of a soft spot for Marvel's more inexplicably-powered mutants (now if it had Cypher and Warlock in it, I'd be there opening night...).

For some reason I have no interest in the new Terminator film, despite liking Bale a great deal, hissy fits and all. I imagine I'll see it.

And a Dan Brown related project will get some of my money when a zombie Dan Brown himself pries it from my cold, dead, zombie-murdered hands (I'm not a fan of his --and I use this term loosely-- novels).

 

[Krug]

I'm mildly interested in all of them; yes even the Dan Brown. I just wonder how they're going to change the quite ridiculous ending. It's probably the biggest flight of fantasy amongst the four you listed.

Star Trek in the theater. Wolverine and maybe Terminator on DVD.

Night at the Museum II: Escape from the Smithsonian.

Oh, I forgot about that one. I wish I had added it. I'll bet it does fairly well.


Trace - Out of curiosity, how did Divinci Code do compared to the first X-Men movie, the first Terminator film and the top Star Trek flick? It'll be interesting to see how these four movies do in comparison to one another as well as in comparison to their previous films.

X-Men Origins is a must. I'm taking the kids.

I want to see Terminator but I'll be going by myself if I do.


I didn't know Museum was coming out this early. I'm sure the kids will want to see it.

 

[Aeolius]

Wolverine is on my list, but I'll be taking the family (a $100 venture at most times) to see "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" (May 22) and "Up" (May 29).
