    Alright, so we all know that summer movies are usually the best thing to look forward to when it's unbearably hot outside, you want to hang out with your friends, or if you're lazy like me and just want to kill a few hours in air conditioning.
    Here's where you can discuss ALL of the movies, review them and critique, give some insight on how you think upcoming summer movies will do in the box office, and which ones you're looking forward to.
    And like the other movie review thread, use longer sentences and reasons.
    Don't be like, "The Dark Knight is awesome because it's Batman."

    So here's the list; I'll start with the beginning of June and end it with August. :3

    Kung Fu Panda
    You Don't Mess with the Zohan
    The Happening
    The Incredible Hulk
    Get Smart
    The Love Guru
    WALL-E
    Hancock
    Hellboy II: The Golden Army
    Journey to the Center of the Earth 3-D
    The Midnight Meat Train (Yes, it really is called "Meat Train")
    The Dark Knight
    Mamma Mia!
    The X-Files: I Want to Believe
    The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
    The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2
    Far Cry (video game based)
    Star Wars: The Clone Wars (animated)
    Disaster Movie (something along the lines of another Epic Movie/Meet the Spartans)

    If I missed anything, let me know via PM so we don't get a bunch of short random posts.
    So comment away. :3

    Midnight Meat Train lol

    My one friend is desperately trying get people to go see that with him, but everyone refuses and says "No, way

    that sounds like some gay porno"


    Anyways, I really want to see Tha Dark Knight, I heard there's Oscar Buzz over Heath Ledger's performance

    so it should be good

    I think the movies that will do pretty good veiw-wise are: The Incredible Hulk, Hancock, Disastor Movie, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor,The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, and the Dark Knight. <--Bold are more likely in my opinion.

    It's about a serial killer that takes people on trains, kills them, and puts them in a meat freezer.
    Something like that. xD
    Incredible Hulk was awesome, I saw it yesterday. Lots of smashing, and it was SO much better than the first one.
    I want to see The Mummy too...Jet Li's Shi Huangdi. xD
    Only thing that I was kinda meh about was that Evie and Alex have different actors. I saw the preview yesterday, though, and it does look good.
    December. All the fangirls are going insane. xDD

    A Far Cry movie is coming out this Summer?! Wow...I'm looking forward to: Hancock, Dark Knight, Star Wars, Hellboy, The Mummy(I knew about this and Hellboy 2 since last year), Wall-E, Zohan, and The Love Guru.
    Disaster Movie? I bet it's based off Twister and/or The Day After Tomorrow.

    Disater movie parodies:
    The Day After Tomorrow
    An Inconvenient Truth
    Cloverfield
    Superbad
    Hancock
    Iron Man
    Armageddon
    Sex and the City
    The Love Guru
    The Incredible Hulk
    Enchanted
    Juno
    The Simpsons Movie
    Speed Racer
    Poseidon
    Indiana Jones
    High School Musical (lolwut?)

    As you can see, the makers of Epic Movie are covering their movies with alternate titles.
    Meet the Spartans was supposed to be Epic Movie 2, but after the first failed hard, they changed it.
    This looks like the third in the line. >_>;;

    Gawd, there are actually so much. It's hard to seriously name them all.

    The Incredible Hulk, Hancock, Pineapple Express, The Dark Knight, Get Smart, Wanted, Don't Mess With The Zohan, and Far Cry.
    Like Jayn, the bold pretty much explains the ones I am most likely going to see.

    Yeah, pretty cool concept, I think.
    But I always loved the Get Smart series before. My father always had the VHS or DVD's and I'd watch them 'til I fell asleep every night.

    I'd wait for DMwtZ to come out on DVD, or maybe I might see it in theatres since it might be packed.
    Packed theatres are always the best.

    2009 will be amazing because Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen is gonna be out.

    Anyway. Back to 2008.

    My friends saw it a few days back. They said it was freakin' hilarious and that they were laughing through the whole thing.
    Yes, they may be slightly spastic, but they know comedy movies.
    And dude, it's a panda; what's not to love? xD

    okay, sorry....
    we'll for me, it was an okay movie. there are som really funny moments, and they like to abuse the slow motion effect.

    STORY: (without spoilers)
    Po (the panda) works in a noodle shop with his dad. after the tournament to become the next dragon warrior, he gets picked. now he must become dragon warrior.

    it's a funny movie and it has jack black
