"Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder". :p

Of the ones on the list, I'd go with "Star Trek" for obvious reasons.
 
Avatar, mostly because of James Cameron, and also because it's an unknown quantity. I know just enough about the rest of the movies to know I'm not eagerly anticipating any of them.
 
Though I'm not overly optimistic I'd have to go with Watchmen. My absolute love of the book would make that the one I would "need" to see. Second and third place would go to Terminator and Star Trek respectively. I guess the common thread is to see where the Hollywood imagining/reimagining machine goes with some of my favorite books shows and movies; I just hope I'm not in for a triple feature suckfest.
 
I voted Star Trek, with Transformers 2 being my backup choice with GI Joe (DESPITE the bs changes) my third option.

Surprisingly, since I'm a big Marvel movie fan, Wolverine didn't even enter into the equation. Not keen on yet ANOTHER rehash of the origin of Mavel's most OVERexposed character. Now if they were to announce a New Warriors or Nova (Rich Rider) film, I'd be all over that like pocket protectors on a nerd! :techman:

T4 and Underworld go on my "rent" list.
 
TRANSFORMERS!!!!

Because, contrary to its many detractors on this board, I thought it was THE PERFECT MOVIE and I expect the next one to top it.

Hey I agree with you and for the Micheal Bay raped my childhood crowd, well my childhood spent years in thearpy after the 1986 movie. at least Bay didn't kill a lot of the main characters to sell a new toy line especially scince before the movie they never killed any of the character on the show that I'm aware of.

Now on to the OP question it would have to be Star Trek.

Skyfire and Alpha Trion were two named characters that got killed. There were several instances where it was implied that lots of "redshirt" TFs were killed.

Oh okay still sucks that they killed Prime, though the movie theme song and Leonard Nimoy were some good things about the movie.
 
I know nothing of Avatar, can't find a trailer, so I chose Terminator.

Wolverine would be third right after that.


Third you ask? What is then number 1?

ASTROBOY!

The character that launched the greatest animation dynasty in human history: Japanese anime; now in CGI.

This is either going to be awesome, or craptastic Hollywood bull, we'll see in the theaters.
 
Avatar and Star Trek. Also greatly looking forward to another genre movie that's not on the list: The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.
