[BigB08822]

Wow, tons of movie!! Of the list, I want to see:

Hanna
Scream 4
Water for Elephants
The Hangover 2
Super 8

Of those I am sure I will go see Hangover 2 (unless reviews suck), Hanna and Super 8. I have been waiting to see Super 8 for a long time, since people thought it was a sequel to Cloverfield.

There are tons on the list that I either have not heard of or do not recognize by name. So I am sure some of those will make my list once I see previews.

[Beefcake]

Not much grabbing me, yet, but there are always unexpected gems in the "slow" season. Besides, eh, I aim to be very busy this spring outdoors and traveling and what-not.

Definitely excited about these, though: :)

Hangover 2
Win Win!
Green Lantern
Sympathy for Delicious

Natalie Portman is in a couple of comedies and an action/adventure this spring - nice to see it's not all :drama:.

:shuffle: I'm curiuos about Jodie Foster's The Beaver ... trainwreck or good fun, and will the audience pay to see a Mel Gibson movie?

I was a comic book geek as a kid (still a geek, lol) , so I'm looking forward to Thor, X-Men and Green Lantern.

[MikiAndoFan#1]

I'm really looking forward to watching Scream 4, X-Men: First Class and The Hangover 2. :cheer2: :cheer:

[Buzz]

THOR!!!! :cheer2: Plus there are several movies that I also want to see. Needless to saw most of the comic book movies will make my must see list! hehehehe Oh yeah... and thanks once again for another wonderful movie thread PeterG. :respec:

[Cyn]

Atlas Shrugged (Part I) :D. It will be interesting to see if they are able to modernize it while remaining true to the book.

Atlas Shrugged Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W07bFa4TzM)

[tchaikovsky_177]

Kung fu Panda 2 definitely. The rest, not sure.

[Satellitegirl]

Hanna
Water for Elephants(if I can stand to watch trained animals).
Thor
The Green Lantern
and Scream 4

Those are the movies I'm most excited about.

[Matryeshka]

Since I tecbnically saw iton the first day of spring, I think it should be mentioned here: Lincoln Lawyer.. It was really good for a legal thriller.
I'm kind of intrigued by Hanna and will definitely see Water for Elephants.

[orbitz]

Looks like Zack Snyder has directed yet another bad movie called "Sucker Punch". I can't believe the studio is trusting him to direct the upcoming Superman reboot. :scream:

[Artemis@BC]

Green Lantern definitely, and probably X-Men too (I loves me some James McAvoy!). Water for Elephants maybe -- I can't imagine it will be anywhere as good as the book, and I don't have very high expectations for Pattison, so I'll probably wait for that one on DVD.

Saw Incendies last year -- excellent.

For the rest, many will no doubt make my DVD list eventually, but I don't know enough about any of them yet to run to the theatre right away ...

[Buzz]

Hop looks adorable! Candy and Chicks! hehehehe I might just sneak in the back to see this one or borrow someone's kid and go! :lol:
