I&#8217;d even go so far as to say that <i>The Phantom Menace<\/i> is kind of comparable to the first few chapters of <i>The Fellowship of the Ring<\/i>: very little happens, the storytelling isn&#8217;t up to par yet, the setting is idyllic, and you&#8217;ve got absolutely no idea of the violent, dark wonders to come. (And if Book I of <i>Lord of the Rings<\/i> had been written\/published years <i>after<\/i> <i>The Return of the King<\/i>, everybody would be going, &#8220;Tom Bombadil? A shortcut to mushrooms? What the hell is this?&#8221;) Anyway, as I&#8217;ve remarked elsewhere the 3D looks unbelievable, so I&#8217;m in.<br \/><font color=#999933><b>Mad Men<\/b> (Season 5)<\/font><br \/>I think this will be awesome. Season 4 was the best yet, and it left us at a wondrous stopping point. (SPOILER WARNING for Octo, Julie and others who aren&#8217;t caught up. <i>NOBODY SAY ANYTHING!<\/i>)<br \/><b><font color=#999933>Titanic 3D<\/font><\/b><br \/>I&#8217;m not the biggest fan of this movie to begin with (although I was at the time), but, again, the 3D looks unbelievable (at least in the preview I saw).<br \/><b><font color=#999933>The Avengers<\/font><\/b><br \/>I think this will be <i>pretty<\/i> good but not great. Like, you have a blast and pump your fist during the first hour, but by the next day you kind of forget you saw it, you know? It probably won&#8217;t have the surprising emotional depth of <i>Thor<\/i>.<br \/><b><font color=#999933>Prometheus<\/font><\/b><br \/>I have no idea. It could be brilliant and it could be embarassing crap. Ridley Scott is like that.<br \/><b><font color=#999933>The Amazing Spider-Man<\/font><\/b><br \/>I think this looks (no pun intended) totally amazing, but I realize that nobody here is going to agree with me, since it&#8217;s got two Horrorthon strikes against it: nobody likes reboots (except me) and nobody likes origin stories (except me). But I just saw <i>The Social Network<\/i> and I think Andrew Garfield is great, and, come on: Emma Stone! Martin Sheen and Sally Field as Uncle Ben and Aunt May! <br \/><b><font color=#999933>The Dark Knight Rises<\/font><\/b><br \/>I actually think this is going to be bad. I mean, enough already. I thought <i>Inception<\/i> was <i>way<\/i> overrated. I&#8217;m tired of Christopher Nolan and what a big deal everything is. Why so serious?<br \/><b><font color=#999933>Skyfall<\/font><\/b><br \/>This will kick ass.<br \/><b><font color=#999933>The Hobbit<\/font><\/b><br \/>I think this will be the one movie to rule them all, this year.<\/p>\n<p>Comments?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m just curious what everyone thinks.
