Im a huge comic nerd (surprise) but have you seen the new spiderman suit? Its freaking awful. He has suction cups on his feet, and yellow eyes. The lizard looks terrible too. Saw the concept art and man, looks so...wrong.

Hoping Avengers is going to be good, they better get the hulk right or there will be some wicked nerd rage.

Dark Knight rises is going to be awesome. I hope Bane breaks his back like he does in the comics, the only thing Im worried about with that movie is how they are going to handle catwoman. I hope they cover up Anne Hathaways face, her body is nice but I hate that doe eyed look she has

Total Recall is going to suck, no mars, no mutants, no 3 boobed chicks. Yawn.

Prometheus looks awesome. I saw the demo reel for the guy that is doing the animitronics for it. Its going to be stunning.

Supes doesnt come out til 2013.  :'( Expendables is going to be PG-13 cause Chuck Norris is a big fat vagina.

How the hell can you say that Planet of the Apes was medoicre shmokes? That movie was amazing. I cant wait for the sequel.

Vigo:
Yeah, I just saw the new spidy costume...bad.
I hate that every costume design these days has to have a kevlar texture to it,





I just saw the new superman costume as well, I don't know if that can even be called a superman costume. Maybe superman's kevlar outfit that faded in the laundry after 10 years of use.

2011 was such a weak year, you know its bad year when a french film, shot in black and white about silent movies is nominated for best picture.  I think it also shows its a bad year that the fat chick from bridesmaids was nominated as best supporting actress.  There has been no "OMG you have to see this!" movie this year, unless you are a Twilight fan or a Harry Potter nerd.  Personally I found the Harry potter movies boring....

Anyhow next year:
GI Joe will be garbage just like the first one, but it will have good action scenes and ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- blowing up, so it will be decent.
Don't think Spiderman will be good.
Avengers will be garbage, all the other marvel films have been borderline garbage.  Here is the problem, we love comics because something like the X-Men has been around for 40+ years and there is a deep mythology there and a lot of character development over the years.  When you try to distill all of that down to 2 hours, you end up making most of the characters look shallow.  You can't properly develop the story for a whole team of people in 2 hours and tell a compelling story.  That is why most comic movies suck, there are just too many characters.  This is why the new Batman films are pretty good, they focus tightly on two or three characters.
Battleship will probably stink but be fun to watch
Prometheus looks great, loves me some Ridley Scott

To me thats one of the things the marvel movies has been working toward the right way with the avengers movie at least. Have a movie on every hero before throwing together a superhero bonanza. After a complete plot meltdown with the X-men, I think they are trying to fix that issue (and grab more money in the process).  ;)

Well Fed Games:
I don't know, the difference between the other Marvel movies and The Avengers is Joss Whedon. He tells good character-driven stories in a sci-fi/fantasy context, so I am looking forward to it.

Chances are The Avengers, Dark Knight Rises, and Prometheus will be the films I suffer through a public theater experience for.
