Well folks, it's that time again! The summer blockbuster season is right around the corner and it looks to be big for super heroes.... again.

For the 5th year, here's the "Big Boy" list
Title (Date)= 3D

- The Avengers (May 4) / Buzz: The long awaited and arguably, most hyped superhero movie ever finally hits the big screen. From the first Iron Man in 2008 to the Hulk, Thor, and Capt. America movies, The Avengers kick off the movie season in a MAJOR way.

Prometheus looks amazing, can't wait.

[ronyusa]

I voted for Prometheus, The Avengers, Expendables 2, Battleship and the Abe Lincoln movie. I have a feeling The Avengers will top the list, with Dark Knight Rises being a close second and Abe Lincoln and Prometheus taking up third and fourth positions. Let's see

[Mark S.]

DEFINITELY will see in the theater:

Prometheus (my #1 most anticipated movie this summer)
The Avengers (my daughter will divorce me if I don't take her -- and I really want to see it too)
The Amazing Spider-Man

MIGHT see in the theater:

DARK KNIGHT RISES. Loved the last film. This one just isn't exciting me. Jury's still out.
BRAVE. Not excited by the previews. Tired of goofy Scotsmen in movies. But it's Pixar...
SNOW WHITE. Trailer actually made this look like a decent fantasy flick.

Don't care in the least about any of the others.

That's something that most people will say about any Pixar film.... which is something Dreamworks CAN'T say.

None of the above.

Agreed.

Pixar has never made a bad movie. Some are definitely better than others, but they have yet to really make a stinker.

I remember being very underwhelmed by all the previews for Cars, but then I ended up really liking the movie. So even though I haven't yet seen anything on Brave that excites me, I'm sure I'll end up seeing it and liking it.

Maybe "Rock Of Ages" which wasn't listed.

[TRosa]

Will see in theater:
Prometeus, I won't be missing out on this one.

Hope to go see in theater depending on the reviews:
Avengers, I'm pulling for this one
Battleship
Snow W & T H
