Thanks for the guide! It looks like a good summer, hopefully all these movies meet their hypes.

Sorry but you need to add Dragonball to that list.

It is a big movie and will most likely end up beating Mummy 3 and pineapple express.

JoJO on Jan 10, 2008

Dragonball definitely, and don't forget The Forbidden Kingdom and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

Hewe on Jan 10, 2008

I know some people won't care, but The X-Files 2 also comes out next summer. It was a huge show, and perhaps it has had enough down time for the fans of the show to want to see Mulder and Scully again. Either that or it's just old news and no one will care (I will be there though

John on Jan 11, 2008

I bet my ass, that two third of that movies will suck and/or blow.

dingdong on Jan 11, 2008

12

Iron Man: because Spiderman3 , Daredevil, FF1, Punisher2.0 and Elektra didn't suck hard enough.

Speed Racer: WTF? Seriously…nostalgia for anime…..F you Wachowski brothers…

Prince Caspian: I give it 2.5 Mehs…at least my kids will sit quietly in awe though it.

Sex In the City: "its a show about gay men as written by transexuals."

Kung Fu Something: Becasue we hoped you forgot the OTHER 10000 kung fu parody movies that also weren't funny.

The Happening: whats "happening" is wahlbergs 15 minutes long over…next!

The Incredible Hulk: what? seriously, Stan Lee can RETCON MOVIES?!

Hell Boy2: I fear my expectations are too high or not high enough here.

The Dark Knight: see above, unless we can somehow import the visual magic from Sin City..

Hancock: yes yes i give Will Smith some props for doing a few really nice movies, but lately it's all been "a Will Smith Production by Will Smith starring Will Smith as Will Smith" keyline: "dayyyum i gots to get me one of deees!" ***redaction actually recently: I am Legend WAS pretty damn good..as long as you haven't read the book.***

The Mummy, Yet Again: what? there are MORE unemployed WWE wrestled following BEnoits departure to the firely gates of hell looking for bit roles in bit movies?

Oceans 19: seriously how much longer are we going to have to wait for a sequel! gogo summer movies

X-Files II, baby!!!

Robin on Jan 11, 2008

VERY excited about some of these:

Dark Knight - Nolan can do no wrong, and the Joker looks awesome in this version (will hopefully wipe away the bad memories left by Nicholson). And Bale is the best Batman ever in my opinion.

Hellboy II - del Toro too can do no wrong. And Perlman kicks arse as Big Red!

Indy IV - for anyone who remembers seeing Raiders at the cinema back in the 80s, this is more exciting than when Phantom Menace was on it's way (primarily because Lucas isn't directing!) Just hope Ford still has the chops to pull this off one more time.

Iron Man - loved the trailer for this…really hoping they don't stuff it up.

Wanted - Excellent cast. Hopefully won't be as unnecessarily convoluted as Night Watch.

Wall-E - Actually really looking forward to this. Pixar have yet to make a bad movie in my opinion. Some were not as good as others, but judging on the trailer, this looks very interesting with perhaps the most spectacular CGI visuals ever.

The rest I could take or leave. I'll see some on DVD (Mummy 3, Get Smart, maybe Kung-Fu Panda), but generally speaking, this is one of the more exciting summers in quite a while.

As a final comment, though - it is troubling how many of these are either sequels, based on comic books or based on TV shows. It seems that Hollywood has zero interest in making original movies these days.

Do you have a contact number of the film producer Dennis Quade - Flight of the Phoenix?
Please let me know.

Iron Man - Possible to get me into the theatre for it.
Speed Racer - LMFAO… This a joke? This looks incredibly stupid
Narnia - Ummm… Will you buy my ticket for this? Bleh..
Indiana Jones - I'll wait for the DVD to come out and borrow it from someone that buys it.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall - Who?
Sex and the City - You couldn't pay me to sit through an episode so why a movie?
Kung Fu Panda - No… and NO
You Don't Mess with the Zohan - Remember when Sandler movies were funny…
The Happening - I'd watch it in theatre. Looks like it'll be good.
The Incredible Hulk - I haven't see the trailer or even heard it was being made so I dunno…
Get Smart - Carell gets my attention in his movies and this one looks like it'll be a great comedy with him as well.
Wanted - Looks like it'll be about as good as Mr. & Mrs. Smith… Which I liked.
Wall-E - I'm really not sure what to think of this movie so I'll wait till the DVD comes out and my nephew gets it
Hancock - Some of the wire work looks a bit off but maybe that's just the way they want it to look. I'll be going to the theatre to watch this for sure though. /nod to I am Legend being an awesome movie {Reply to previous poster}
Hellboy II - Wait on DVD to watch it but might be worthwhile to see on the big screen.
The Dark Knight - I'd go to the theatre to watch it. Looks like a great script and acting with some nice effects. Christian Bale has yet to fail for entertaining so he's a sure bet.
The Mummy - I'll wait for the DVD unless I get bored and it's all I have left to see in the theatre. Brendan Fraser might do a good job on this.
Pineapple Express - Still undecided if I will see this or not. Period. Looks like it'd be a great script but the actors that have the rolls? Just doesn't sit with me. You're call though!

Updated the list and added X-FILES 2 and STEP BROTHERS. The first trailer for X-Files 2 appeared at WonderCon and can be watched in bootleg by clicking the logo above… Hope you enjoy!

Anything else big I'm missing? That covers just about any and everything that looks good this summer!

Alex Billington on Mar 4, 2008

What about Star Wars: Clone Wars?

"Given how much of a letdown Spider-Man 3 was last summer"!!?? Are you smoking crack!?

Keith on Mar 13, 2008

28

Jiinxx, let me get this straight– you wont go to the theater to see a new Indiana Jones film but you loved both I Am Legend and Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and the film you are most looking forward to this summer is HANCOCK?!! You know what– stay home. People with your caliber of intelligence shouldnt be allowed to see movies or vote for the President. I hope that cream of broccoli soup tastes good through your feeding tube you fucking retard.

Counterbugs on Mar 17, 2008

I know Counterbugs WTF is he talking about.
actually surprised he doesnt want to watch sex and the city.
Yep sex and the city and hancock look like the only two i wont see.
iffy on Speed Racer
Step Brothers though trailer was a lil slow but i'll see it for old Will Ferrel:)

x files 2 the best in 2008!!!

jonathan on Mar 25, 2008

31

Uh "It looks like it could be one of the best summers in years."

Seriously? Besides Dark Knight and Speed Racer i could care less about them all. The fall will be better but the summer is not exciting.

Erik on Apr 6, 2008

32

Looks like I am just going to camp outside the theater this summer.


Ironman, Indy, X-Files, Hellboy, The Dark Knight, and possibly a decent Hulk movie. Count me in!

Ryan on Apr 7, 2008

33

These movies will be great:

The Dark Knight
Hulk
Iron Man
Hellboy II
Indy IV
Wanted
X-Files

These movies will be good:

Speed Racer
Hancock
Tropic Thunder
Pineapple Express
Get Smart (I loved that show)

I don't know about anybody else, but that's a lot of movies that I'm actually excited to see.

Put your movie picking skills to the test at summermoviepool.com we are just a bunch of people that enjoy movies and have fun making the picks.

Nugget on Apr 9, 2008

35

I'll start chronologically:
1. Iron Man will most likely be pretty bad. Guy in suit of armor fights another guy in suit of armor. Sounds reeeeally boring. And the "witty" lines by Robert Downey Jr. are not really witty!
2. Speed Racer looks ridiculously stupid. No one over age 13 should be allowed to see this.
3. Narnia- haven't seen the first one. I don't have an opinion on this one yet.
4. Indiana Jones. Hopefully they'll be able to hide the fact that Harrison Ford is like 70 years old! If not, this might turn out to be silly. I'm hoping it's good though, I'm a huge fan of the franchise.
5. Sex & the City. This movie is going to tank. Bad. Who the hell do they think is gonna pay money to see this?!?! I mean, come on. Worst idea ever.
6. Kung Fu Panda. No idea what this is. No opinion. Sounds dumb though. I'll never see it.
7. Zohan. See above.
8. The Happening. I just watched the above trailer. This looks pretty damn good, I must say!
9. Hulk. This could have been alot better if they didn't have the big "monster" fight in it. The scenes with plain old Bruce Banner look way better than the Hulk scenes. Oh well what are you gonna do? It is called the "Hulk" right? hmmm
I'm just gonna comment the movies I have actually heard of now.
~Dark Knight. Looks real good. If it's as good or better than the first Nolan Batman, then we definitely have a winner here. Looking forward to this!
~ X-Files 2. This movie is gonna tank at the box office also. They are about 10 years late with this one. Who the hell cares about the X-Files anymore? Besides crazy fanboys that should be focusing on getting that pizza I ordered for delivery to my house faster, no one will see this at the theater.
~The Mummy. Haven't seen or heard anything about this yet. But I love the ride at Universal Orlando!! LOL! The first two were entertaining, so it should be okay. This series just seems to be about having a good time at the show and not taking themselves so seriously. I'll see it.

So it looks like my front-runners are The Dark Knight, The Happening, and (hopefully) Indiana Jones!

Yo ive heard rumors of the halo movie coming out this summer could anyone shed any light on this. Im a huge halo fan and ive heard rumors of Peter Jackson & Neil Blomkamp both working on this movie and have got to know.

Clayton Sutton on Apr 23, 2008

Halo sucks.

kthxpls on Apr 28, 2008

I'm really excited to watch Ironman this weekend, but I've been losing sleep over Grand Theft Auto. Here are the movies that I'm looking forward to watch:

1) Ironman
2) The Dark Knight
3) Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
4) Hancock
5) Don't mess with the Zohan

I watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall last weekend. It's hilarious.

Thanks for a great one-stop resource for summer movies. Do it again next year.

I have been seeing a movie trailer lately on adult swim, it is so familiar like i've played the game or read the book or something. looks to be a pirate movie. one line it "through shark infested waters" caught my attention straight away. I know I've heard it before. can anyone help me on finding out what this movie is? it said its coming out this summer, but they didn't even hint at the title which is odd.

BishieQueen on May 1, 2008

A lot of these movies look great… but Speed Racer does not. In fact, it doesn't even make my list of the 22 movies to see this summer: http://blog.filmjabber.com/2008/05/01/22-movies-to-watch-this-summer/

Iron Man was awesome. Roll on X Files! Where's that trailer already??

Maeby on May 2, 2008

yeah dragon ball needs to be put up i think mummy 3 will be good so will the happening

devon on May 2, 2008

48

Lol @ Jiinxx. I'm not usually one to bag on opinions of movies, but you're confused. You don't know about Hulk 2, Speed Racer is a joke and you'll wait for Indiana Jones on dvd?! You're reading the wrong article… and if there is any wirework on Hancock, I'd be amazed. I'm guessing the 2 mile whale toss was probably CGI.

Have fun with your Mr & Mrs. Smith vhs, Ebert.

gary7seven on May 2, 2008

Steve! You're another one… Are you guys accidentally routed here from some support site for the dull and confused?

"Iron Man will most likely be pretty bad. Sounds reeeeally boring."
"Speed Racer looks ridiculously stupid."
"Hulk. This could have been alot better if they didn't have the big "monster" fight in it." *wtf?

You're on track with Dark Knight (will be awesome) and Mummy 3 (mindless, but fun), but you really need to tap into that inner child. At least enough to understand that monster vs. monster and robot vs. robot (sorta) will always be a good idea. Add Robert Downey and Ed Norton to either and you can't really miss. You do know that Speed Racer is going to be a Wachowski brothers pic, right?

I challenge you to watch any of those and not have fun.

gary7seven on May 2, 2008

And yet no one answered my question on halo the movie. Someone has to know something about it. (release dates, director)
