Your Most Anticipated Films of 2011

Ones I’ll for sure see in theaters:

*Cars 2
*Rio
*Rango
*Harry Potter 8
*Winnie the Pooh

Ones that I’ll AVOID at all costs:
*Smurfs

I can´t wait to see Cars 2 and Deathly Hallows 2 :smiley:

I managed to come up with a small list this time.

-The Illusionist
-Cowboys & Aliens
-Mission Impossible IV
-Super 8
-Arthur Christmas

But overall, still pretty disappointing.

I’m really only looking forward to Cars 2 and Winnie the Pooh.

I won’t lie. I hate the M:I series, but I sort of kind of want to see that just because it’s Brad Bird. :stuck_out_tongue:


Crappy list for me; they’re all animated, and most of them sequels!!

Kung Fu Panda 2
Cars 2
Winnie the Pooh
Brave
Anything Disney puts out

Have no shame! Before that movie comes out, I’m going to make myself sit through the first couple. Oh dear, it’s not my type of cinema at all.

The movies I’m looking forward to this year are mostly animated: THE NEW MUPPET MOVIE, Rio, Kung Fu Panda 2 Cars 2, Winnie the Pooh, and maybe the last POTC if it gets good reviews. When I saw the third in theaters, it was painfully dull.

Oh yes, POTC: On Stranger Tides!! I forgot that one. :blush:

Awww. I love the M:I films. Except the second. Most people I know absolutely despise the entire series and especially hate Tom Cruise.

To be honest I kinda want to be that ultimate cinema BAMF that I always seem to read about on sites and see every major release next year and a couple of the smaller ones. But I neither have the money or the patience.

So I’ll have to go with things like

Green Lantern: Natch
The Marvel Films: duh
Hugo Cabret: A Scorsese adaptation of an awesome book in 3D? Yes please!
TF 3: Masochistic completism
Immortals: New Tarsem film? How can I resist?
Sherlock Holmes 2: The first one was fun, I don’t care what anyone else says

I could really go on. But I don’t want to flood this thread. And those ones I did list are in no particular order and there a few that I haven’t that I want to see even more.

Oh, nearly forgot about that! I’m pretty excited for it as well.

I haven’t seen any of them yet because the premise doesn’t interest me. They might be entertaining for all I know, but I usually am not big on spy/action films.

Yes! Jason Segel + muppets = win win win.

If you’re a fan of film music, you’ll at least enjoy the musical cues of the first three films. Elfman did the first, Zimmer/Badelt did the second and Giacchino did the the third.

And to be honest, the third is kind of the best one. If only for Philip Seymour Hoffman’s scenery chewing villain and the inclusion of Simon Pegg.

Another film I want to see is Super. It’s a movie that stars Rainn Wilson and Ellen Page as deranged costumed vigilantes. It’s written and directed by James Gunn, the man behind the very underrated Slither.

Have to wait another year for this one buddy

q_o_p: Thanks for reminding me! The new Pirates movie as well, I’ll totally see that one.

Cars 2, MUPPETS!!, and Winnie the Pooh is about it for me :smiley:

Here’s Cartoon Brew’s preview of animated films in 2011.

^ That’s a very helpful list. I neglected to include Arthur Christmas as part of my list. Holiday movies are the best! I had no idea Aardman was associated with it until now, which makes my anticipation grow even more. One film on that list, however, titled Turkeys does not impress me from the still posted. I hope the resulting film is nothing like that picture.

I know! The first time I heard of it was from that link, and I’m not impressed either!

Thanks for reminding me about The Hangover 2 tribefan695. I want to see that one too.

Man, the amount of sequel-churning in Hollywood is staggering. Minor rant aside, I’m looking forward to Green Hornet, Rio, Rango, Pirates of the Caribbean: Stranger Tides, Cars 2, Kung Fu Panda 2, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Source Code, Sherlock Holmes 2, Transformers 3: Dark Side of the Moon (but only for the vehicles and car chases, I can’t give a Shockwave about the plot), Winnie the Pooh and Cowboys and Aliens.

Tin Tin, Puss In Boots and Green Lantern a maybe.

I hope Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chip-Wrecked involves David Cross returning as the villain, who rigs the cruise-ship bearing the chipmunks on a collision course with an oil-tanker. :wink:

As for Turkey, it uh… looks like a lemon.
