Eh, usually by the end of the year, I've seen about 50 films or so (whether in theaters or on DVD), and this year, I've seen only half that. The summer was really bland, and nothing really grabbed my attention. But that's just me. Granted, I've missed a few films that looked really good, but I still feel like this was the worst year of the decade.
People say that literally every year.
Am I the only one who finds 2008 really underwhelming? Sure, there are small movies here and there...but there is no Transformers or Spider-Man. Where is the money shot of 2008? The closest thing it seems, would be Harry Potter.
I'm not sure many people will care about Indiana Jones. Fanboys do, but again, fanboys tend to over-estimate their own importance. I'd say Rambo's box office will be very telling as to how Indiana Jones will do. But I look for it taking in 150-170 domestically, if it has a GOOD run.
I thought this year was fantastic. But I guess I saw all the right movies.
3:10 To Yuma, Eastern Promises, Sweeney Todd, Juno, No Country for old men, American Gangster, There Will be Blood, Gone Baby Gone, Into the Wild and Zodiac.
How was 2007 disappointing ? ppl keep saying that and it puzzles me, granted Ive not seen all these movies but the critical feedback and reviews on here from the posters suggest it's been an excellent year for cinema.
ehh,thought TF was overrated,ya it made alot of money,but to me was overrated. Same with SM3 it made money just for the fact it was SM,again this was a disappointment. I think '08 will be okay there's alot solid movies thru out 2008,so it will be okay.Am I the only one who finds 2008 really underwhelming?

Indiana has more than just 'fanboy' appeal,think it will do okay. There was alot of downtime from last one,this will either help or hurt its status. Rambo,to be honest I hope it does well,but its Rambo/stallone I'm not sure how the general public will take to it. Balboa had a good story,and I think a very good dialog,so hopefully Rambo will have the action.I'm not sure many people will care about Indiana Jones.

Rambo is an R rated character in a small budget action film, i don't think that will be any gauge, Indy is closer to Star Wars, there wasn't massive demand for remastered DVD sets of Rambo.
I give you its a different situation, but if Rambo does well for an R rated movie, you can probably gauge how well Indy will do.
The Only movie I'm looking forward to is 'The Dark Knight'. I'm not really interested in anything else.
wow..that's unfortunate. You may miss some good movies.
The best movies are the ones that don't get hyped years before their release. I found There Will be Blood, No Country for Old Men, Sweeney Todd and Before the Devil Knows You're Dead to crush every disappointing summer 'blockbuster' in terms of quality. 2007 was a good year for film.
I put Jurassic Park 4 on my list. Is that at all happening in 2008? Are they in pre-production?
There hasn't been anything on it for a while, I'd say the earliest that will hit is 2009.
I'm shocked at how many ppl have The Punisher 2 on their lists.
