I've also seen all of the above (with the exception of Sex and the City). I was really pleased with the way Hulk turned out. Part of it was all the continuity references they put in, but the overall story was well done. I was afraid I wouldn't like the movie version of Abomination...and thought his movie origin might be a little too contrived.....but I was happy with it. I wish he looked more like the comic Abomination...but that's ok.

Now I'm really loking forward to Hellboy (the comics ROCK!) and of course Batman. I've been out of the X-Files game for so long...I'm not sure what to think about that movie....but I'll get into it the closer we get to it's release.

I saw a teaser trailer for Punisher: War Zone the other night. It looks good too....and will feature Jigsaw....one of his comic book adversaries. Apparently it's something of a reboot..similar to Hulk.

Out of the movies I've seen so far, Iron Man is the only one I've enjoyed. I didn't like Indiana Jones 4, Cloverfield or the other one I can't remember at the moment *lol*

For the rest of the year, I'm only looking forward to;

The Dark Knight
Hellboy 2
Clone Wars
Quantum of Solace

Seen so far:

- Indy 4: Like it but not as much like the first 3 movies. Currently playing Lego Indiana Jones.
- Sex and the City
- Increible Hulk: Best one so far (but I haven't seen Iron Man so I can't decide which one is best). As for that final scene, will an Avenger movie be in the horizon?

Can't wait for:

- The Dark Knigth
- Hellboy 2: Liked the first one.
- The Mummy
- Journey to the Center of the Earth
- X-Files 2
- Wanted: From the same director of NigthWatch and Daywatch which is the primary reason for to see it, and based on a comic (with a very different premise. hint)
- Clone Wars: Duh!

Can wait for the DVD, maybe
- Get Smart
- Speed Racer
- Love Guru
- Kung Fu Panda
- Iron Man: Due to an extended business trip,missed in theater.
- Prince Caspian: Same as above

Jose,

Iron Man is awsome...definietly see it at the first opportunity. At the end of the credits is a special scene that ties in to the upcoming Avengers project.

To fill everyone in, Iron Man ad Hulk are the first two movies. They are also planning a Thor movie, which I think is due out after Iron Man 2. (Both in 2010 I think). In 2011, they plan on releasing Captain America: The First Avenger, followed by The Avengers (which will feature all four characters, plus others). Hopefully everything will pan out. At present, Ed Norton is not too happy about the edits they did on Hulk, and the Iron Man director is afraid IM2 will be a movie for movies sake with no story. With any lucky thngs will be straightened out and will continue as planned.

Marvel is producing all of these movies in-house, which allows the characters to exist in the same universe like they do in the comics, and also lets marvel get a higher cut of the money. As for previous releases (Spider-Man, FF, X-Men)....they will probably all remain separate until whatever licencing agreements run out before Marvel can bring them into the fold.

Thanks for the info, Warren!

I knew about the Thor and Captain America projects, but I didn't know about the Avengers.

I really want to see Get Smart. But I might have to wait until it comes to the $1 theater.

I want to see a lot of these movies, but then again, I've not seen a movie since December! It's not worth it to me considering a ticket here costs no less than $9. I'd rather just wait till it comes out on DVD and Netflix it. However, one movie I will see for certain this year will be The Dark Knight and Quantum of Solace.
