Thread: Movies your looking forward to?

Ive been into the films since they began in 2001. Like you though, i kind of thought it would be short lived especially after 2 and 3 (although 3 is underrated). I like them all but i am enjoying the fact that they are expanding it by adding different characters and making it more than just about car racing. The additions of the Rock, Statham, and Jaa is a lot of fun. I believe this film is the first to bring Lucas Black (Toyko Drift) back into the series after so long but its cool how they tie everything together. I think that if you choose to watch them definitely start from the beginning otherwise you might get lost in the story.

Not sure if I'd ever go back and watch them all, but I would like to check out the newer ones. I imagine its like James Bond where you can jump in and pick it up pretty easily, but you would probably like it more if you had the whole history to back up your viewing experience. I just can't image Tokyo Drift (the one I saw a bit of) adds much to the series overall. Man that movie seemed awful.

I actually liked it but it took me a while to appreciate it. I think mainly because you get so attached to Walker's and Diesel's characters its hard to think of anyone else being in the forefront of the series. But, like i said that movie (and Furious 6) are key in terms of story to what happens in Furious 7.

Yeah - It was to the Fast and Furious series what American Pie Band Camp was to the American Pie series - some kind of weird spin off/add on that was totally crap yet still made someone a ton of cash

Gotcha. Maybe someday I will wade through all those movies. I still haven't seen any of the Harry Potter's but I did finally buy the books for my son. We are going to go through the books this summer then get the movies. It is just hard to jump into a movie series retroactively, especially when I thought it would have just died back in 2002!

The new Star Wars trailer has me pumped, but Batman v Superman is a close second:

Even though im not crazy about Leto's version of the Joker im actually more pumped for this than the Superman vs Batman movie.

His Joker is going to be very similar to how he portrayed in the Suicide Squad comics and the Frank Miller runs that both movies are based on so I am PUMPED! That is the Joker that killed people for the hell of it, including the Adam Todd Robin (which was hinted at with the Robin suit with the Joker writing on it).





And I agree, I think Margot Robbie will absolutely steal that movie. I like how DC is skipping the origin stories and introducing everyone in a big chunk. DC's biggest advantage over Marvel is their villains so I hope Suicide Squad is as good as I think it will be.

Mallbrats - due out next year. I never even knew this was on the cards.

Yes. Lost in the story. Some of the characters and sequences of events are out of order.

That's not going to end well.

Looks so damn good. Much better fit for Reynolds who can be hit or miss with me.
