damn this is all im excited about:

Up
Year One
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Public Enemies

Supermallet

I'll see:

Wolverine
Star Trek
Up
Year One
Transformers
Public Enemies
Piranha 3D

Aegean2007

I will see:

Wolverine (if it gets good reviews)
Transformers 2
Public Enemies

and that's it. So that's 2, maybe 3.

As opposed to:
Iron Man
Indiana Jones
The Incredible Hulk
Wall-E
The Dark Knight
The Pineapple Express
and Tropic Thunder this year.

I will maybe see 5 or 6 of those by the end of the summer - so that's a big difference.

Mr. Cinema

Didn't someone just make a thread about this a few weeks ago?

looks like a terrible summer '09....guess I'll have to make the best of 08's offerings which have been pretty impressive this far...not necessarily quality wise, but choice wise - yeah! and lots o' rated R's

next summer looks mostly geared to the tween audience...but what's new right?

the A-Team?

Seriously???
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0429493/

Bruce Willis as Hannibal = sounds great
Ice Cube as B.A. = maybe okay
Woody Harrelson as Murdock = now I refuse to watch this movie.

Zodiac_Speaking

I'm all about Wolverine.

Up will be interesting as will the double dose of Christian Bale: Public enemies and Terminator 4.

But yeah hopefully, there will good indie films next summer to fill some of these gaps.

Mercury&Solace

3-4 in that list for me, yikes.
