Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Does look promising and I think gives a good indication of the new directors look and feel for the movie. Can't wait.....but I'll have to lol.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

A bit of a teaser for you. I have just been looking to see if there are any new trailers available to post and saw this one. It is down for 20th October release and if the full trailer looks any good we will have to add it to the main list. I love these kind of disaster movies, they make for great cinema viewing and I am encouraged by the fact that Gerard Butler and Ed Harris are in it. Proper trailer follows later.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

not like the TV show I remember watching as a kid ;)

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

I loved that series but this movie looks a million times better.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

yup, I am really excited about it but I can't help but feel it Captain America with a girl. I love Gal Gadot so I don't care anyway :)

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Justice League...

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

I am hyped about Guardians of the Galaxy and Ghost in the Shell but I think this is going to be the best film this year.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Hmm, that looks good. :D

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

It does look good. I quite liked the original (2003) trilogy, and am baffled why they made a miserable remake for a further 2 films less than 10 yrs later. This at least, has proper tie ins with the Avengers, I'm optimistic.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Now that was spectacular.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Looking forward to that.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

1:32 is amazing. Thor's reaction :D

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

November sadly before it is released.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

keep your eyes peeled for a triple bill at your cinema with Ragnarok at midnight. They did it with Captain America and X-men last year and it was fantastic.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

absolute bonkers, I've not seen any of them!!, but I'm tempted to go see this, but also part of me thinks after watching this trailer I probably don't need to....

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Film review - Dan Wootton's Bizarre column

All sounds a bit silly.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Looks ok to me :D

Just don't confuse it with high art/drama, it's a simple disengage brain, munch popcorn, have a laugh franchise - taken on that basis, it's pretty good.

Why is Jeff Bridges always a cowboy?

If Tatum is mimicking a Jump Street-esque performance, I'm all for him playing 'The Statesman'

You should know better :D, Tron, Tron: Legacy and Iron Monger (Iron Man)

He is the go to for the comedy relief cowboy though. RIPD etc.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

I don't know how on earth I missed this on my list

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Only ticked 3 off so far. xXx, Resident Evil and Logan.

Its not the rating thread ofc but honestly both xXx and Resident Evil were mediocre at best. xXx was just pants up until the final third, The inclusion of Neymar was just absurd and added nothing at all.

Resident Evil was just underwhelming for what'll be the final of that franchise version. I'm almost certain there's going to be a much better true to source reboot on the way.

Logan was enjoyable, as are all X-Men releases to be fair. The whole film is one gigantic continuity hole with plot holes laying in the open but that's just something else, we can just pretend it's not there.

Note: Avoided posting spoilers deliberately as people will still use this thread as a guide for releases and stuff they've missed. Just Incase anyone replies with 'Well the part where 'person' does this'

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Song: Imagine Dragons - Warriors (Remix)

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Well unless l have poor taste l would say it looks pretty good.:)

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Origins and standalone movies tend to be far better than the crossover movie IMO. Winter Soldier being an example in which it was easily far better than Age of Ultron. The Flash will be harder to swing given it's already highly successful TV adaptation.

I think a few have the chance to be good solo films away from the Justice League, assuming it's another JL mess. Batman has the potential, WW looks good as we can see above. Man of Steel was fairly good. Can see where I'm going with this. Sometimes a single actor/character can prop up and entire franchise, see Wolverine/Hugh Jackman

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

I can't make my mind up about this. I love Samual Jackson, he is one of my favourite actors, and I like Ryan Reynolds a lot as well but I don't normally do comedies and I can't make my mind up whether this is an appropriately humorous action or just a stupid ott comedy.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Been looking forward to Bladerunner 2049 for a long time now.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

I hope they do a triple bill at the cinema and show all three

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Looking forward to the third in the series.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Pfft I prefer the musical

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

:D:D

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Zack Snyder has left the Justice League film after the death of his daughter. Don't think the circumstances matter, it's tragic for him either way.

Joss Whedon (Marvel) has stepped in to finish the movie. The man that directs the direct competitor movie is directing both as of now. Dont think anyone could complain given the reasons. It's nice to see a quick agreement was reached.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

really really bizarre, you have thought there would have been a competitors clause in his contract that prevents him from doing any work with DC whilst his is actively engaged in Marvel projects.

I'll say it now though, if Justice League turns out to be good, it is going to be because of Joss Whedon. I wouldn't be surprised if he goes in and wants to change a tonne of stuff and DC let him.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

I think it may well be more of a favour to a friend than any studio involvement.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Yeah doubt any studio would think about blockading something like this. Its helping out someone in need. I can imagine Christopher Nolan would be the only other person in the running.

Don't think anything will be changed our of respect. He's merely finishing a movie already scripted.

Its nice to see when tragedy strikes you can put money and contractual agreements to one side and just help.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Its in Post at the moment so just finishing off the editing and such.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

I read that there are some re-shoots scheduled for the next month which Joss Whedon will be in charge of however WB have made it crystal clear that they will be kept to the same style and tone that Zack Snyder had intended.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

I want to watch Valerian for the sci-fi-ness and I am sure it is going to be good but it is going to really niggle at me at how light hearted and non-serious it is because it is more or a young teens movie than an adult sci-fi.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

It looks entertaining, which is one of the things I want from any film.

Btw, World War Z (2) which is in my original list is now postponed until at least 2018, maybe even 2019.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

yeah I wanted to check on that. I was looking at my list yesterday because I thought I had put The Dark Tower on it and I hadn't so I was looking to see when it was coming out. There are some very good films coming out this month (Wonder Woman, The Mummy, Kingsman, Transformers) and I had Word War Z in the middle of that but haven't heard anything about it so I assumed it had been put back for whatever reason. Shame because it would have added to an excellent month of summer movies with something a bit different.

As an fyi, tickets are available for pre-booking for a midnight premiere of Transformers and I am expecting Spiderman to become available when they update the showing times tomorrow evening.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

I thought world war Z sequel will release this month. So, I have to wait till next year?

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Well it hasn't even been made it to filming so I highly doubt it will be released pop

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

At least, the director has dropped out and they haven't found a new one. Tbh by the time they get everyone on board again, get the pre-production stuff sorted out, principle photography and then the special effects etc it is going to be 2019. Even if they started right now there is no way they are going to get all that done in 1 year ready for release next summer.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

You have point there.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

That looks good General.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

sure does, we have had a cracking year this year with Guardians, Spiderman (5th July, tickets available now) and Thor (27th October) and next year is going to be just as good. We have got:

Black Panther: 16th February
Avengers: Infinity War: 4th May
Ant-man and the Wasp: 6th July

In 2019 we'll have Captain Marvel, Avengers 4 and Spiderman 2. I love having three films spaced out throughout the year keeping the story and MCU going.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

I know it isn't a huge blockbuster but I think some people will be interested in this. I love stuff like this because it tells you the "unknown" story around something which you grew up with and has had such a profound impact on what I imagine is billions of peoples lives over the years. It is the same with Saving Mr Banks aka the Mary Poppins story, it is absolutely fascinating.



I'll defo be going to see it

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Some commentary by Luc Besson ;

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

looks like a beautiful scifi film and I loved Fifth Element

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Wow! Even the trailer blew me away. So looking forward to this.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

it looks like a laugh but it isn't going to beat the original

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Exactly as that was a great film with some great acting and effects and course included the late great Robin Williams in it.:(

at least they've had long enough to write a good story to link the traps unlike the last few Saw films ;)

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Looks a bit wierd tbh, not sure I'll bother with that.

The trailer linked at the end (for Bright) looks a little more interesting.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

It has been on my radar all year and has been hailed as one of those films to look out for but I have got a bit of a stigma about it now that I have been to see Dunkirk. There was no dialogue in the trailer and I am still clueless as to what the story is supposed to be.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Ready Player One looks superb and has been talked about for a long time.

I am also really looking forward to Thor: Ragnarok after seeing the Comic-Con trailer it has really got me hooked.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

yeah, I just hope they do a flipping midnight premiere for it this time (and don't cancel it).

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

I really like the look of this. Coming out in November in the US but no UK release date yet.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

I like the look of Death Wish, no interest in the other one.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

It Stains The Sands Red. One for the zombie fans.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

I am absolutely dying to see this, Jennifer Lawrence is perfect for it and has made me realise how much more popular (adding the male demographic) the 50 Shades series would be if she starred in them.





didn't know anything about it until now but it looks worth a watch

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Looks like another special effects laden affair to me with no story. I'll avoid.:)

By the way, that kid actor was in two excellent films when he was younger. One is called Mud with Matthew McConaughey and the other is called Joe with Nicolas Cage. If anyone fancies watching a story rather than a load of computer generated special effects, then I recommend both of these films.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

I think I'll stick to my computer generated effects :)

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

New Trailer, This actually looks fun and may not just be a reboot going by the opening scene in the new trailer.

Re: Films to see in 2017

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

I am pleased to report that I have seen every film on my list this year. I am pretty much the same as you minus Pirates of the Caribbean. You have missed out big time with Blade Runner. I strongly strongly suggest you keep your eyes peeled for it coming back at the cinema. I don't know about cineworld but Odeon do this thing called "silver screen" where about 4 months after a film has been on they bring it back for a few days and you can go and see it for £3. If you get the chance to see it at the cinema you really should, it is amazing and in my top 3 films for this year.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

I don't know if Odeon have made a boo boo or not but tickets for Jumanji are up for advanced booking for next weekend (9th and 10th). I have got one so we'll see what happens.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

They have been available on Showcase for well over a week.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

For booking or for next weekend. I didnt think it was due out till 26th and imdb still says 20th.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

cineworld had Jumanji up for booking a while ago too.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Top 25 films of 2017

I am away for a couple of days so have only got my phone but i have just come across this on imdb if the link works. It is US box office only but i expect international sales will be pretty much identical.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Wikipedia list the top 10 globally.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_i...grossing_films


They also do a list of who was top in the UK for each weekend of the year.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...United_Kingdom

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

nice to see Thor, Guardian and Spiderman up there. I have seen all the films on the list apart from Despicable Me 3, Pirate of the Caribbean and Wolf Warrior (which I haven't even heard of).

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

I have never heard of it either, apparently its a Chinese film.

I have seen all except Beauty and the Beast, The Fate of the Furious & Wolf Warrior 2.

Of those, I intend to see Fate of the Furious when I get chance, the other two I'm not interested in.
