5. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2
6. X-Men 8
7. Gambit

* Deadpool and Suicide Squad are interchangeable for me. SS would be higher on the list, but as great as Ayer is, and how great Harley and Joker look, Will Smith brings it down, big time.
 
M. Night Shyamalan indeed has much to answer for.
 
Dang Iron Stark, no love for Will Smith?

I liked him in I am Legend and Seven Pounds. Other than that I haven't enjoyed any of his movies since Men in Black and Independence Day.

I hated his last superhero movie Hancock and After Earth was the last straw that really left me sour on him.

I hear ya, he has made some very poor choices as of lately. But I'll always love Will Smith, I grew up on a steady diet of Fresh Prince so I can watch the man in almost anything. I hope this is a return to form for him.
 
He doesn't have to curse to sell rap music.
 
BvS is top, followed by SS, then CW. Deadpool and Strange are both in the category of "And these will be a little different and thus refreshing" so they go under the top 3. The other's I frankly could give a rodent's posterior about. Even Deadpool is only on the list cuz Reynolds is freaking perfect for the part, not because I actually have a great love for the character. That said a black comedy CBM sounds like a great idea.
 
I will say the Comic-Con presentations have rejiggered my order.

1. Suicide Squad - It could be a complete bust, but it is a wild card and has the potential to be brilliant--or a beautiful mess. I just hope it's not boring after that cool tease.

2. X-Men: Apocalypse - The costume might look bad, but the footage was great and Oscar Isaac is terrific. FC and DOFP are among my favorite CBM. So, I have faith this might join Nolan's TDKT as the second good trilogy of superhero films.

3. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - I had zero interest in this before the Comic-Con trailer. Now, I still am skeptical enough to not be surprised if it's a train wreck like I initially anticipated. But...I could be wrong. Either way, I look forward to finding out.

4. Deadpool - Still jazzed by that leaked animated trailer. Should be light, breezy fun.

5. Captain America: Civil War - Avengers 2 and Ant-Man have left a bitter taste in my mouth. Sure, why not. I'll see it. But Marvel's formula is starting to truly bore me.

6. Doctor Strange - See above, but at least Benedict Cumberbatch can keep me curious.

7. Gambit - Love the character. Not convinced about Channing Tatum.

No way am I seeing a sequel to the last Turtles movie, so the list ends there.
 
Ant Man gave me the shot in arm I needed to be even more excited for Civil War. Can't wait to see Scott Lang team up with the big dogs.
 
Civil war
Apocalypse
BvsS
Doctor strange
Dead pool
Gambit
Suicide squad


BvS would be number 2 if not for campy lex from the comic con trailer. I actually don't mind the serious tone for this movie. I get why people think MoS was too bleak but batman's presence plus this being a vs story makes a dark tone acceptable in this. It's not like it's a buddy cop movie with super heroes.
 
1.BvS

7. Everything else. I am interested in TMNT 2 as I was one of the only people to really get a kick out of the first one.

Same here. :up: Turtles rocked in the first one so I forgave everything else that was wrong.

Ant-Man actually hindered my excitement for Civil War a bit.
 
After Comi-Con:

1) BvS
2) Suicide Squad
3) Civil War
4) Deadpool
5) X-Men: Apocalypse

Still no interest in Gambit or Dr. Strange
 
Updated

1:X-Men Apocalypse
2:Batman V Superman:Dawn of justice
3:Gambit
4:Captain America:Civil War
5:Deadpool
6:Surcide Squad
 
1. Suicide Squad - Seems so left field and nothing like it has been done.

2. X-Men Apocalypse - Still don't know much about the plot and loved DOFP

3. Batman vs Superman - Trailer was excellent but kind of know what you're gonna get

4. Civil War - loved TWS but there are too many uninteresting characters for me, can do without War Machine, Falcon, Ant-Man (amusing film but still don't need him in this). Looking forward to Crossbones and Black Panther though

5. Gambit - Didn't have much anticipation for this but they got a good director and hearing Tatum do the accent when he came on the Fox panel at comic-con raised expectation significantly

6. Deadpool - Looking forward to him and Colossus but like BvS, kind of know what you're getting going into it.

7. Dr Strange - I like Cumberbatch but don't know much about the character, can't justify ranking it higher.

Didn't even see TMNT
 
1. Captain America: Civil War. Interested to see how the MCU will shape up in this film

2. X-Men: Apocalypse. Bryan Singer is back again and the last films have been good, hoping Bryan can keep improving, even though the timeline is a mess, he has been doing a realy good job.

3. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. But it's Directed by Zack Snyder, so i have a bad feeling about this, not to mentiont hat Gal Gadot hasn't yet sold me on her WW, she looks more like a skinny cosplayer trying to look like a badass. Not to mention her limitations as an actress, i'm surprised so many "naysayers" are now saying she looks cool just because she did some angry faces (one of her few expressions in the films she appears in) and appearing in action scenes from the trailers (which was already expected).

4. Suicide Squad. The new 52 comic was very mediocre, replacing Secret Six, a title with a similar idea, but that was much better written. However, the film has an interesting Director and the idea still has potential.

5. Dr Strange. Would be so much higher if the Director chosen had a history of making better films. Feige saying for so many years how much he wants this film to be made does give me hopes of Dr. Strange being an interesting project.

6. Gambit.

7- Deadpool.

.....

Anyone seriously looking forward to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2?
 
I must say while Apoc is at the top of my anticipation list, I am most intrigued by Suicide Squad at this point. That's the trailer I have watched the most and I just think it has a really good concept and is something different within CBMs. Add a great director and a superb cast and it really could be something special.
 
1. Batman V Superman.

Let's admit, we'have been waiting for this movie for too long, now is the perfect time for this,I think Snyder is underrated director, though he can go overboard with CGI and editing at times, but I hope he has improved.

Snyder's visuals, , Terrio's writing the script with ideas from Goyer's original story and Wilkinson's costume designs, Larry Fong's cinematography and Zimmer's score it couldn't get better.

2. Sucide Squad. A director like David Ayer's take on DC's iconic villains that includes likes of Joker, Dead-shot, Harley Quinn and the rest ? I am interested.

3. X-Men Apoclypse - I am curious where Singer is going with this new cast and continuity.

4. Marvel's Civil War: If all the hype is justified then this could be the best Marvel movie yet !

5. Dr. Strange : I am interested mainly due to Cumberbatch.

6. Deadpool - can RR get a hit movie this time ?

7. Gambit - meh.

From order of most want to watch to least.

1) X-Men: Apocalypse - Days of Future Past was phenomenal, and really built upon First Class' success to help bring back the X-Men to movie prominence. I'm looking forward to seeing how this new film rewrites the X-Men movie history.

2) Captain America: Civil War - Eh. I'll be honest and admit to being leery that the MCU is adapting one of my most disliked stories from the comics. But after Winter Soldier, I'm willing to put my faith in the Russo Brothers that they can improve upon that piece of crap and give us something special. And it's amazing how the MCU has turned Cap into my favorite Avenger in the movies.

3) Suicide Squad - There's great potential that this may suck. But... the cast is stellar and I've been way more impressed with how the characters look. Plus the concept of supervillains working for the good guys (somewhat) is something I'd like to see work onscreen. I'm not familiar with director David Ayer's work, but I'm pulling for him to deliver a left field winner much in the same vein as Guardians of the Galaxy.

4) Doctor Strange - Was seriously not really hyped for this, until Benedict Cumberbatch was cast. Despite being a tad overexposed nowadays, I think the guy's a great actor and I know he can pull off the Master of the MYstic Arts. Not sure about director Scott Derrickson being the right choice. A glance at his films on Rotten Tomatoes shows that they're not exactly critical darlings. But if there's one thing Marvel Studios is good at, it's picking the right director for the right project. After Ant-Man, I'm more than hyped for another origin film.

5) Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - It's Bats and Supes sharing the big screen together for the first time in history, and I'm wary rather than hyped. The thing that worries me is Zack Snyder. This could be a disappointment much like Man of Steel was, but I sincerely hope not. DC/Warner needs to compete with Marvel/Disney.

6) Deadpool - Not really hyped, but will watch it. If only to see Ryan Reynolds talk s**t and kick ass as the Merc with the Mouth.

7) Gambit - Eh... Not really into Gambit or Channing Tatum.

8) TMNT 2 - Didn't watch the first one. Not bothering with this.
 
1. Captain America: Civil War - Had it just been a Captain America solo movie where he's searching for Bucky, BvS might've taken this spot. But since it's reuniting most of the Avengers for the Civil War storyline, I can't resist.

2. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - Even though like many others I thought Man of Steel was just okay, the new trailer is really selling me on this. Plus, it's a concept that we've wanted to see on the big screen for decades and it's finally happening. I'm not expecting the best superhero movie of all time, but at least it's going to be one for the books seeing the DC cinematic universe start to come together.

3. Batman: The Killing Joke - We only just found out about this but it's gonna be the be-all end-all of the DC animated features if done properly. And since they snagged Hamill for Joker, they're already off to a great start.

4. X-Men: Apocalypse - I'm in a comfort zone with the X-franchise lately, and I'm expecting this to be roughly on the same quality level as First Class and DOFP. I don't think Singer and the cast will disappoint.

5. Deadpool - I'm at least hoping that this could be the funniest superhero film of all time. The character has always entertained me.

6. Suicide Squad - This one intrigues me. It's going to be interesting seeing a supervillain team, not to mention the reintroduction of Joker and Harley Quinn's big screen debut.

7. Doctor Strange - Much like Ant-Man, I'm looking forward to it because it's Marvel, but I was never much a fan of the character. But Benedict Cumberbatch is awesome and Chiwetel Ejiofor is the villain, so it's got that going for it...

8. Gambit - Gambit was always one of my favorite X-Men when I was a kid, but I have to say I don't really have high hopes for this.

9. TMNT 2 - The only reason why I'll even see this is because they roped Casey Jones, Bebop and Rocksteady into it. But the first one didn't piss me off as much as I thought it would.
 
The Deadpool trailer was superb, loved the look of everything we saw. I think that and SS are something really different for the genre that is needed IMO. Hope both are as good as they look.
