But which one are you looking forward to the most;

Batman: The Dark Knight Rises
The Amazing Spiderman
The Avengers
The Hobbit
Titanic 3D
Bourne Legacy
Skyfall
Prometheus
MIB3
Man of Steel
Underworld: Awakening
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengence
John Carter
The Great Gatsby

For me it is incredibly close but The Dark Knight Rises edges it, with The Avengers and Ghost Rider close behind followed my Man of Steel and The Amazing Spiderman, it's as close as Monza '71 though.

If I can't work out how to put a poll up can someone tell me or mods do it please.

Dark Knight and Avengers are about the only ones I'm dying to see on that list. Look forward to Bourne but I'll be fed up of the shakey hand cam after 10 minutes no doubt.

The Bourne Legacy - No Matt Damon, supposedly no Jason Bourne, yeah, this is going to be a hit.

Skyfall is the new Bond film, Prometheus is Ridley Scotts new (apparently, although dont just take this as truth) Alien prequel, Man of Steel being the new Superman film smile

That list just demonstrates a lack of new ideas in cinema really, sorry.

Having said that, as a fan of both Eastwood's directorial work and DiCaprio, I am quite looking forward to seeing J. Edgar, but the reviews haven't been that kind.

The problem is...every story has been told a hundred times in cinema, albeit in different guises, so it's getting to the point where they just have to try and remake them and do it better, most of the time they will fail but on the odd occasion they succeed and most of the time they aren't that bad and still can be exciting, like with the new spiderman reboot for instance, it's what? 10 years since Raimi started and the only exiting thing about it is new actors and a new director, so hopefully even with the same story we will see a different class of film.

Batman: The Dark Knight Rises-If it's as good as the others, it's a winner
The Amazing Spiderman-Don't see the point of this, Raimi's version was near to perfect. Just laziness on behalf of Marvel and the filmmakers.
The Avengers-The lead up films have been hit and miss, plus no Norton, this could work or suck.
The Hobbit-With such a basic story hopefully PJ won't ruin this, I hold my hopes for this onebiggrin
Titanic 3D-ffs
Bourne Legacy-boring
Skyfall-I hope this will be decent, but I think they will go the way of gadgets...again
Prometheus-The pics make this look really good, I hope hy don't screw up the storybiggrin
MIB3-2 was a number 2, so why bother?
Man of Steel-One reboot that needs it, Returns was bland, even so, how many times do you need to remake the same character?
Underworld: Awakening.Have low expectations of this so it might be good.
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengence-Last one was a turd.
John Carter-Hopefully they will get this right.
The Great Gatsby-meh

Most of the above are unwanted for me, and I predict there will be some real stinkers up there, the one that I hopeknow won't be, is the Dark Knight Rises.

The OP didn't list the new Muppets movie. That's what I am most looking forward to.

Isn't The Sweeney out this year? Or is that generally regarded as a turd?

And am I missing something or just getting old....what's with The "Amazing" Spiderman? How is that any different to Spiderman of old, where old is measured in months?

Unless they have re-shot the entire film using 3D cameras, this will be pants.

Anyway, I hate to break it to you, but Star Wars Classic is being 3D'd (although we've got to sit through all three episodes of Star Wars Jnr first....thanks George)
