Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Looking forward to seeing quite a few of those if l get a chance.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Easier to list the ones I'm not bothered about on that list :D

The DC movies, although I might give the Justice League another shot. Zack Synder needs to remember not everything needs to be dark themed.

In fact that and Wonder Woman are it. Just those two I likely will give a miss on.

The Mummy I'm looking forward to, loved Brendan Frasier's go at them.

But anyway some more, on mobile but no dates.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle
World War Z 2
Power Rangers (No seriously)
John Wick 2
xXx: The return of Xander Cage.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

My bad, I didn't see this thread before I replied in the Transformers one:

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Blade runner 2?! Really?

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Why not RR as everything else has a sequel now.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

While most of them will probably be good its sad to see how little originality there is in the list. Practically everything is either a sequel or a remake.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

good point, nearly everything is. There are certain things like Planet of the Apes which I am looking forward to. I never saw the originals because they are so old and I am really looking forward to seeing how the story unfolds and the beautiful thing about it is that because of the technology I can sit there and think it is all real. I used to love cowboy films when I was younger but the sound for the gun shots always sounded hollow and I used to cringe when you got a wide angle desert shot and the actors were clearly standing on a stage with a picture of a cactus and mountain range painted in the background. I went to see the new Magnificent Seven over the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it because everything looked real and you could believed it was happening.

As far as remakes go though, I think we are all going to welcome the Spiderman remake and I think it is going to be absolutely flipping amazing.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Kingsman I have not seen, so dont know if I'm interested in that or not.

WWZ 2 I must have missed, I'll go back and check, and add that to my list if I did.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Must watch, I was quite surprised by it. Has one of the most incredibly ridiculous but quite amazing fight scenes I've ever seen.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kl8F-8tR8to

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Some I definitely want to see there :)

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

It is well worth a watch. The trailer makes it look more like a serious spy film which is why I watched it but it is more of a cheesy parody of James Bond. It strikes the right balance between humour/cheese/seriousness and is really entertaining. I am glad they are making a second one.
Power Rangers very first came out back in 1992 or something like that when I was 12 so I am dying to see if the effects are going to be any better 20 years later. Normally I wouldn't pay to go and see it at the cinema but I have got an Odeon Limitless card and can go and see everything for free :)
I loved the first xXx film. It is everything I always wanted James Bond to be pre-Daniel Craig so I am very much looking forward to a new one. At the time I was hoping they was going to turn it into a franchise like James Bond and keep making a new every couple of years with a new mission/story.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

As the year isn't quite over yet I am also going to post this year's list so you can see if you have missed anything and also make sure you don't miss anything going forward. Those Star Wars tickets are going to be up for advanced booking any day now :p

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

John Wick 2:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ct_zCmiIV60
http://imgur.com/4h4DuHM

The first was one of the underrated movies I missed out and seen by chance. Epic action movie

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead men tell no tales

Trailer released: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsJ58L3u8qw

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter:

Comic Con Trailers:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8a8n9nzzB4

Best till last then:

Power Rangers:

First trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-C4qqsgs8w

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Must say Power Rangers does look really good. A lot different to the tone of the TV series and a little bit more serious. The scene with Rita looks pretty creepy too.

Some have said Chronicle meets the Babysitters Club.

Odd that they have gone down the superhuman route as they normally don't really have powers until they morph but it is a reboot I guess.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

it flipping does. I was going to go and see it for the sake of it and expected the usual cheese but that trailer gives it some genuine clout. That teaser has made me want to go and see it Power Ranger or not (and I did like Chronicle as well, it put the superhuman twist on the average little guy).

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Updated my list to add Power Rangers, also the Wolverine film now has a title - 'Logan' apparently.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

quite sadly I think it is the last film we are going to see Patrick Stewart in. If I win the euromillions tomorrow I would love to fund another TNG movie and pay him however much he wants to be in it even if he does nothing other than sit in the Captain's chair issuing orders.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Logan

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Div0...ature=youtu.be

Clearly set in the future then. Still having to remember the events of X1,2 and 3 were retconned although Wolverine remembers the original timeline.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Looks like the film is going on 'The last of us' and other similar stories. Wolverine has been in exile for x amount of years, mutants have nearly died out, this mutant girl is the savior, Wolverine is to keep her safe, albeit a strangely aged Wolverine who doesn't appear to be healing like he was.

As for the timeline, to the outside world (everyone besides Wolverine) the events up until First Class never happened, nor did Wolverine 2. Only Wolverine remembers these as he changed the past. To remedy the fact he'd have know adamantium bone structure, they had Stryker capture him anyway (again to the viewer) and perform the Weapon X experiment.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

everyone must see Sausage party it is so funny but warning do not let your kids watch this it may be a cartoon but holy hell its messed up.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Thats not a 2017 film right ?

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

No this should be in last film you watched thread.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

New Wonder Woman trailer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q8fG0TtVAY

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

saw it last night. I think it looks great and I am really looking forward to it. I am not holding my breath for Justice League though.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

The Mummy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwTFXVdbeEw Looks alright for an action flick, but seems to completely abandon what the remake trilogy did and become as quoted in the comments, Mission impossible: Mummy Protocol. Here I was expecting a present day Egyptian mummy flick.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 trailer #2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AYQDq9efdk

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJePvN_4T_E

Dunkirk (Summer 2017)

Another Nolan epic incoming.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Having seen the trailer, I added Xander Cage to my list, although Id like to see the previous ones first if I get time.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

With Nolan doing it l expect a pretty decent film.

King Arthur
Trainspotting 2

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Yep, they're no masterpiece but are quickly becoming the flagship action flick of the year big budget wise. Seems to have an interesting story this time.

That Mummy trailer has put me right off, I expected something else I think.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Could you provide months for these, I may update the first post with a second list of other peoples (plus, having seen the trailer, Ghost in the Shell looks good).

First post updated with some data provided by General Maximus.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Trailer for Blade Runner 2049

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_JAMRKzEHs&t=2s

(how do I make a thumbnail to the trailer like in the posts above?)

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...php?t=33703899 ;)

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Spiderman
Fast 8
only these 2 mainly

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

what about PLAPES, Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor and Star Wars?

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

A little something to whet your appetite. For those of you who are unfamiliar with them Screen Junkies are a bunch of movie geeks who do some cracking discussions on all our favourite movies and keep up with the latest gossip. The video above is a teaser for next years film releases and to get the excitement going.

Quite annoyingly the first film on my list isn't out till 20th January (xXx) but I am sure I will go a see Passengers and Rogue a few times more before then :p (and now I have said that I have just realised Assassins Creed has disappeared off my list, it is out on 1st Jan)

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Not really my type of films, well may watch Thor.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

that is what I thought when you said Spiderman. All the Marvel stuff is awesome and geniusly blends together.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

I hear that classic film 'On the Buses' (1971) is going to be re-released in HD !

Got to be seen if only for the lyrics in the theme:-

"There's always gay life on the buses,
make sure you leave your bird at home ! "

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-V1hUrVt3w (2:15 in...) ;)

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

20th January : xXx Return of Xander Cage is my favorite.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Looks really good, although Prometheus looked good in the trailers.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

I really liked Prometheus so if this is anything like it then i will be very happy

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Me too, never got the hate for that. alien 3 though....

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

He's probably alluding to the common problem with it. Way over hyped, not really it's own fault though and the incredibly dumb characters with dumb decision making skills.. as quoted by many.

It's watchable though, just internet elitists and circlejerks dragged it way further down than it deserved. Think Star Trek and the way that gets dragged around despite being damn good imo.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Alien 1 still the best by a country mile though.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Is it just me, or does it seem like Hollywood is only interested in targeting teenage boys?

Superheroes, more superheroes, more cgi, more cgi....

Where is the new Lawrence of Arabia, new Psycho etc? Actually something made for adults and preferably with a story?

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

That is only the film's he is interested in seeing. There are plenty of other film's and different genres coming out.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

I know there is other stuff and I wasn't having a dig at PaulM, but the point still remains. A lot of Hollywood content is cgi heavy and story light. Why is Hollywood so obsessed with this type of film?

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Money.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

They aren't obsessed with it. However that is what makes the most money. So that is of course where they focus.

Dunkirk is very story driven with little or no CGI for starters.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

what you have got to remember is that it is the blockbusters that pay for the arty farty films. I can remember 2 years ago when American Sniper came out. Neil Patrick Harris opened the Oscars talking about the big films nominated for best picture and I think he mentioned 6 or 7 films and said something like "together they have got $600 million at the box office" and everyone applauded and then he quipped "and of that $300 was for American Sniper" and he was having a dig that one film accounted for half of the revenue out of 6 or 7 films.

Every year I watch all the major films nominated for the big awards and some of them tell great stories, especially the ones which are based on true events, but they aren't necessarily the most entertaining. Everyone has different tastes and that is why we have so many different genres of films. I for one don't like horrors, they don't do anything for me at all but it doesn't mean they shouldn't be made so other people can enjoy them.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Lets hope Dunkirk lives up to the expectation.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

only 1 for me is star wars episode 8

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

La La Land and Manchester by the Sea both open this week and they're meant to be good. It's Oscar season so you'll get a lot of decent films around now.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

....I've heard of Manchester by the Sea. So, yep one for me there.

And (sticking my neck out) John Wick2. Everyone I know hated the first film, but I liked it, so there! Who cares if Keanu Reeves can't act? Actually, it was his robotic expression that made the original film good in my opinion.

And I guess I might throw in Spiderman and one or two of the other superheroes/scifi ones too. I just have to pretend to look like a teenager in the cinema which will be amusing with my ever greying hair.

---------- Post added at 21:41 ---------- Previous post was at 21:39 ----------

Dunkirk added to list.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Definitely you. :erm:

The only "teenage" boy I know actually doesnt care for action, superhero or sci fi films.
Pretty much the rest of my family & friends love them. None are teenage boys, and in many cases, they are girls. :cool:

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

...fair enough, to each his own.:)

But I can only take enough of exploding buildings, gunfights, car chases, space battles etc.

I do need stories some time as well to go along with the superhero, cgi riddled fight fests aka Hollywood films.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Wow

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Manchester by the Sea is great. Should pick up at least one Best Actor Oscar for Affleck and maybe one for Michelle Williams. There is at least one amazing scene in it.

---------- Post added at 21:37 ---------- Previous post was at 21:34 ----------

There are a lot of Superhero films. They risk fatigue of it at some point I think. However there are so many films released it's not really a problem, just don't watch them. IMO The best superhero film is still A Dark Knight. Shame DC are struggling now, hope Wonder Woman is good as she was one of the bright spots in Batman vs Superman which was a rough film.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

For anyone interested you can see the full list of Oscar nominations here

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Hey, get it right! :D

It was all Chris Nolan, DC never had a high, Chris Nolan was just Chris Nolan to be fair. Best DC films made, no argument. If Nolan had signed on properly and been at the helm over Snyder, the new ones would be equally as good.

Marvel are pretty unstoppable right now, a well liked continuous cast with more likeable characters and Suicide Squad had little chance of matching Deadpool. I feel like DC have the better TV shows though.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Oh yeah it was definitely Nolan. Batman has the additional advantage of already been a gritty and dark universe which lends itself well to modern films at the moment. It's easier to see how you create an compelling and relevant story with Batman than with Superman.Nolan was also given far more creative control than recent Superhero movies. Joss Whedon has complained a number of times of how Marvel would micromanage the whole process. The Nolan Batman films were their own films that existed by themselves, now it's more of an industry and creative decisions are limited by the fact they have to co-exist with many other films across the Marvel Universe.

Maybe DC should go back to the old way of doing it. Get a team they trust and give them a franchise for a film or three that can stand on their own. Instead of trying to do the Marvel Universe thing.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Agreed, the attempt to compete is pretty hopeless and moving backwards to separate universe trilogy's like Nolans Dark Knight trilogy would suit them so much better as you've said. Still can't find myself disagreeing that The Dark Knight is pretty much the greatest superhero movie made over both DC and Marvel. Nolan is still around too looking over things Snyder does but it still doesn't feel great. Marvel don't get it their own way either though. I feel like Age of Ultron was quite overrated. The introduction to Ultron set Ultron up to be an epic Villain, the Disney quotations in a twisted way was an epic scene... It just kinda tanks from then on in.

Another problem I see for Marvel and probably relates to your comments about micromanaging is how massive their merchandise base has become, Disney of course doing absolutely everything possible to make sure they have everything of absolutely anything to sell to kids and adults alike. They need those on screen characters doing exactly the right thing.

All in all, Chris Nolan and Heath Ledger combined in the second movie of a trilogy and absolutely smashed it. The greatest on screen Joker I've ever seen.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Well exactly. I think it's hard to rate writers and directors of Superhero movies when the studios have so much influence. As you say there is the problem with merchandise but also future films, contracts and so on. The writers are given characters they need to introduce, rough estimates of screen time, where characters need to be in order to fit into the universe (they can't kill anyone off without a businesses decision being made) and other things they need to happen in the film. They get given these blocs they need to fit into a film. Where Nolan got a clean sheet of paper they're given lego.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Looks very good IMO.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Yup, i cant wait.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

It's got Emma Watson in it - so it's an instant turn off for me

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

What did Emma do wrong ?

TBH, it looks very "potterish", so she should be right at home.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Superbowl spot.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

I can't wait, it is going to be amazing and there are so many characters in it with so much going on I wish it was a 5 hour film.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Ghost in the Shell. Out in the spring.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Looks pretty good judging it from the short clip.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

I am still not sure about it. I still highly regard the anime as one of the best ever and so am being very cautious on it.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

That Alien trailer does look promising. Looks a lot more like the original in parts.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

yup, I read somewhere that this is suppose to be the prequel to Alien and the end of Covenant sets up Alien.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

I think it was to be a trilogy of films, starting with Prometheus.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

no surprises the new Deadpool 2 trailer is NSFW, with some "subtle" jokes for the comic book geeks ;)

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

absolutely hilarious, I can't wait to see it. There will be a midnight premiere for it at the cinema and it is going to be awesome.

Re: Films to see in 2017
 

Yeah, that looks good again. :)
