True, Gladiator is awesome.

However, it's pretty much the opposite of what Robin Hood is supposed to be. Robin Hood isn't supposed to be this big, brawny lumberjack looking man who starts fights and uses his strength to overpower people.

Robin Hood is a character with incredible wits, who carefully plans his actions and uses different things to his advantage. He's not supposed to physically strike fear into anyone, which is part of his appeal and allows him to go unnoticed.

I may be wrong with the direction the movie takes, but everything from the trailer makes it seem like a huge action movie with lumberjack Robin Hood.

Ralph Fiennes will make this movie kick ass by himself.

Russell Crowe does whatever he wants ok!

And more Fiennes (5 movies, though he won't star in each I think).

Brodeur · 02-03-2010, 03:26 PM

Didn't mention this earlier but a period piece at number 1 for Commie? I AM SHOCKED AT THIS.

EDITING

Todd Bertuzzi · 02-03-2010, 03:37 PM

As far as my most anticipated for this year I'd have to say:

1. Shutter Island- What can I say? Scorcese is a genius and it looks like he's done it again with this thriller starring Leo.
2. Inception- Still have no idea what it's about which probably makes me want to see it even more. Great cast and director too.
3. Iron Man 2- Enjoyed the first one and throw in Rockwell and Rourke and the second one looks like it'll pick up where the first left off.
4. The Rum Diary- Johnny Depp in another Hunter S. Thompson inspired movie. Need I say more?
5. Kick Ass- Looks...well kick ass.
6. Arrested Development- One of my favourite shows and I've anticipating the release of this movie evr since I first heard of it.
7. Alice In Wonderland- The visual effects look even better than those of Avatar.
8. Date Night- Looks like it could be this year's hit comedy. Awesome cast too. Carrell, Fey and Marky Mark!
9. True Grit
10. The Social Network- An entire movie about Facebook. Should be interesting, but I have faith in Fincher.

Honorable mentions:
Black Hole- Fincher directs this movie about an STD that is spreading amongst teenagers. That's enough to get my attention.
Cop Out- I'm a big Kevin Smith fan and even though he didn't write this I am still looking forward to it. The trailer has made me a little pessimistic, but I realize it's R rated so most of the material isn't made for TV anyways.
Black Swan- Portman/Kunis lesbian sex scene may be my most anticipated scene of the year.
London Boulevard
The American
Howl

All in all looks like it should be a better year than 09.

Ahhhh, I forgot The Rum Diary too. ****.

Edited in.

Kathryn Bigelow definitely doesn't look like a 58 year old.

Here's my list of movies to go to whilest ripped out of my mind:
1. Alice in Wonderland
2. Alice in Wonderland
3. Alice in Wonderland.

This is one of those movies that will be 100000% better high than it will be sober.

Paul · 02-03-2010, 07:45 PM

Nothing about Alice in Wonderland excites me. Seems like just another movie "From the mind of Tim Burton". Meh.

ccB · 02-03-2010, 08:08 PM

Johnny Depp playing the Mad Hatter is all you need to care about.

I'm probably going to watch this tonight, pretty excited...pretty pretty pretty excited.

He needs to do the Ed Wood sequel he was supposed to do where Ed Wood broke down in his older years.

Without being high, this movie is pointless in my opinion.
