The 2011 Big Screen Line-Up

[Guydowood]

From the 80's, to Comic Book Heroes & Villains, sequels and prequels, the 2011 movie slate looks very diverse. Which one will become the next Blockbuster or the Biggest Bomb since Ishtar?
here we go with official release dates (subject to change of course)

4/12 - Scream 4 - With the main original survivors back as well as Wes Craven back in the director's chair. Kevin Williamson sets the new decade, new rules and hopes for a new trilogy.
4/19 - Fast Five - Vin, Walker, Brewster, with the Rock on their tale - check out the trailer on IMDB, it looks promising.

5/20 - Thor - early teaser trailer has this one an all out FX spectacular. Hopefully the story will hold up. Big Summer on tap for Marvel Studios.
5/26 - Kung Fu Panda 2 - Like the first one wasn't enough.

6/3 - X-Men: First Class - a prequel featuring how Professor X and Magneto got their start. Featuring an all new cast as well.
6/10 - Super 8 - JJ Abrams goes back to 'Cloverfield' territory with this creature movie. But it's not a sequel or spin-off.
6/17 - Green Lantern - teaser trailer looks great, Ryan Reynolds stars, DC needs a nice hit (outside of Batman) to build up to the Justice League feature film.
6/24 - Disney'Pixar's Cars 2 - Your kids will be excited about this one.
6/24 - Rise of the Apes - an origin story set before the 1968 classic, set in modern times San Francisco.

7/1 - Transformers: Dark of the Moon - teaser trailer on IMDB. I love how they are using real History within this fictional story.
7/8 - Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides - Captain Jack is back and this time he goes after the fountain of youth with Barbossa and Blackbeard as his foe.
7/15 - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part II - The Conclusion to the Potter Phenomenon all comes to a head.
7/22 - Captain America: The First Avenger - Marvels second film of the summer season has high hopes and a major budget to full fill expectations.
7/29 - Cowboys & Aliens - With James Bond (Daniel Craig) and Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) this War of the Worlds meets High Plains Drifter looks bad ass.
7/29 - The Smurfs - A CGI 80's remix.

8/19 - Conan The Barbarian (2011) - Reboot , sans Arnold sans any hope of a new franchise.
8/26 - Final Destination 5 - As if the last movie using the title THE FINAL DESTINATION wasn't enough, but money talks and death walks.

11/18 - The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part I - the first of the last chapter in this blood sucking teen bopper frannchise.

12/16 - Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol - Cruise is back one more time to hand of the torch to Jeremy Renner
12/16 - Sherlock Holmes II - Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law are back taking on his most famous nemesis Professor Moriaty.

Thor, X-Men, Super 8, Green Lantern, Cars 2, Pirates, Captain America, Cowboys and Aliens, Sherlock holmes 2
Those are what interest me the most, I rarely go to theatres but next year I will be frequenting them.

[miller_time22]

I will definitely be seeing the following:

Scream 4
Thor
X-Men: First Class
Green Lantern
Rise of the Apes
Transformers DOTM
Pirates OST
Harry Potter & TDHP2
Captain America
Cowboys & Aliens
Conan the Barbarian
Mission: Impossible
Sherlock Holmes II

and will probably end up seeing Fast Five and Super 8 as well.
Overall, looks like a fantastic year. Of course, many years appear that way and then end up underwhelming.

[Batman1980]

I want to see 2 movies that didn't make this list - LOL and Monte Carlo. Cars 2 should be incredible, hope it's not the only good Disney coming out next year.

[PRBIGBOY]

For sure i want to see- Scream 4, Thro, X-men:First Class, Fast Five and Transformers: Dark of the Moon. I also want to see Sucker Punch which is not on the list. And is it me or Does Fast Five sound like a fake super hero group or even a boy band group lol

Yup Fast Five is a horrible title which makes me glad I don't like that movie franchise. Forgot about Sucker Punch, expecting that to be one of the more exciting movies of the year.

[Blu-Benny]

I’ll be seeing the following:

Thor
Pirates of the Caribbean
Green Lantern
Transformers
Capt. America
Harry Potter

1 error I see in your list…..Pirates is scheduled for a May 20th release I believe. Not July.

and i think Thor comes out 5/6 or 5/13.

OHHHHHHH, you right, how did we 4get that. Hope that movie is as good if not better then the 1st one.

[groundgamer]

Overall, it looks like a pretty average year in my opinion. Although, I am looking forward to Thor, Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol, Transformers: Dark Of The Moon, Captain America, Cowboys & Aliens and possibly Sherlock Homes II. But, even so, those look to be pretty average blockbusters. 2010 is my greatest hyped year, purely for The Dark Knight Rises

u consider 6 films worth checking out in the theater an avg. year??

if i go to the theater more than 2x a year, that's a good year for me.

Cars 2

Agreed. As awesome as the first one was they feel like they needed to give us even more awesomeness. Dreamworks is going above and beyond the call of duty.

[Trekkie313]

Rise Of The Apes A BIG F-ING NO!!!! They already had that, it was called Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes and it was one of the better sequels.

[LynxFX]

A lot of those release dates look to be old.

2011 is shaping up to be a great year. 2010 IMO was a bust. I couldn't even come up with a couple blu's to put on my xmas list.
