I'm glad someone else mentioned Inception.

This list absolutely sucks. You don't have Shrek Forever or Eclipse on the list. Grown Ups also looks great.

But I am going to add The Expendables to the list:

10 reasons why Expendables will be great:

  1. Stallone
  2. Schwartzeneggar
  3. Statham
  4. Li
  5. Rourke
  6. Willis
  7. Lundgren
  8. Coutoure
  9. Austin
  10. Crews

And for an honorable mention, Predator:

the expendables is an action movie fan's ultimate fantasy. I'll watch it just because of the amazing cast. I also want to see iron man 2 of course.

Boo hoo hoo. The list is bad. Why don't you cry about it?

You ever stop to think that maybe he can only include so many options in the poll? The last Shrek movie sucked and so did the last Twilight movie. Why the hell would he include their sequels? 

....Because both movies are going to be more popular and better recieved than The Last Airbender and Prince of Persia? Why with all the vulgarity and attacks? Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed?



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get mad. It's just that people complain when I make polls (and I'm the only one making polls), so it's one of my big pet peeves. You can't really say that the two you mentioned will be better received than the two in the poll, since I expect all four to be awful to some degree. Don't take it to offense. I like you a good bit.

And yeah, I woke up facing the wall this morning, and my back was quite itchy.

Apology accepted.

I agree with you, that the entire list could be revamped. The only two movies I am looking forward to on the list would be TS3 and IM2. The list just didn't make much sense because you have 2 movies that will gross well over $700 million each worldwide, and 3 movies that won't even make as much as IM2 or TS3 combined.

However, I do disagree that Shrek: Forever and Eclipse won't be better recieved. The Last Airbender is from one of the worst directors ever, and has a bad legacy with it as a video game movie, The Prince of Persia looks *good* but not great, and The Karate Kid is......The Karate Kid.

Whereas you have Shrek: Forever which is nearly guarenteed $300m in the US alone, and Eclipse which is the followup to one of the most explosive IPs of the past decade as the entire franchise has made well over $1b in ticket sales worldwide, plus billions more in books and merch.

Now, having said that, I don't expect the Expendables or Predators to be better recieved than his list (I expect both to earn around $100m domestically), but for my own opinion, at least the Expendables will be better quality wise.

And Inception is by far the biggest one not mentioned thanks to Nolan and DiCaprio - both are pretty hot items, given that Shutter Island did well and Nolan is....Nolan.

The Last Airbender is based on Avatar: The Last Airbender, a very popular and critically praised cartoon show. Not a video game.

That doesn't help its chances much, but it needed saying.

So was Dragonball Z....

...I'm not sure DBZ was ever critically lauded for anything. I was just pointing out that ATLA wasn't a video game primarily, it's a cartoon. Not saying it's going to be good (I expect it to be bad)

Iron Man 2



TO GOD BE THE GLORY

I actually expect really great things from The Last Airbender and I'm serious. It looks very good and it's directed by an awesome director. I don't know anything about the story though.
