Most Anticipated Film of the Summer
by admin on May.19, 2009, under Opinions
I have many friends that like different types of films, but the one season where our tastes merge is generally during the summer blockbuster season. This year, even that is different. The summer blockbusters are:
X-Men Origins: Wolverine – Released May 1st
Star Trek – Released May 8th
Terminator Salvation – To Be Released on May 21st
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen – To Be Released on June 24th
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince – To Be Released on July 15th
G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra – To Be Released on August 7th
Among all of those tentpoles, my greatest desire is to see Transformers in IMAX, on opening night. Most of my friends are more excited to see Terminator, but I have my doubts about it after seeing a very slow cut action sequence. The feeling just seemed very off for an action film, much less a Terminator film. THR already issued a review blasting the film. Other reviews have stated that the action carries the film because the drama is very lacking.
Honestly, if McG fucked up this film. Fans will want to tear him apart worse than Star Wars geeks hate George Lucas for Jar Jar.

P.S. Here’s a TV Spot that should show you why I’m so psyched to see Transformers:
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen “It’s On..” from Bay Films/Michael Bay Dot Com on Vimeo.
