Upcoming Must-See Movies

As the title says, I'll be putting those movies you just (with or without any valid reason) HAVE to see. You know, the ones where the title alone will make your heard beat faster. Behind will be a grade how much must-see I expect it to be. Movies in green are already filming/post-production or have a green light by the studio. Yellow means pre-production (only screenplay/cast/etc). Red means rumors only.
You can also mail me your own Upcoming Must-See Movies (in the same format as I did, I just might put it up here).

May 2003 (updated from: Undefined): X-Men 2 - All major characters/actors had a clause for a second installment in their contract. So, it's sure, it's just a matter of time. Update: Finally got a date and a name (might not be the final name though, coz it's kinda, empty), X2.9.
May 2003: The Matrix Reloaded - Pushed back a few times. Hope this date is final.10.
June 2003 (updated from: 2003): The Hulk - See above Marvel Comics comments. Excellent director (Ang Lee) helming a somewhat CGI Hulk ? Let's hope they put a lot of CPU power in him, 'cause who would want to see a stiff blocky robotic moving Hulk.9.
Jul 2002: Terminator 3 - The Rise of the Machines - Terminator 2 was a movie ahead of its times with all those morphing special effects. Now those are made in abundance. Can the story alone keep this series going (a T4 is being planned also) ? Update: subtitle. Update: Arnold will be back, for probably 30 million bucks (highest ever). No Linda Hamilton (Sarah Connor) or Edward Furlong (John Connor) though.9.
nov 2003: The Matrix 3 - Let's see how Reloaded did first, shall we ?
nov 2003: Kill Bill- Martial arts actioner billed as the fourth Quentin Tarantino movie. Using old style techniques to film the martial arts, it'll be a visual delight, but can this hold up a movie ? 8+.
2003: The Fantastic Four - They needs LOTS of special effects to make this work ! But they pulled it off before, so no fear. Just anxiety.9.
2003: Ghost Rider - Nicholas Cage could be cooler than Superman in this movie. With a flaming skull he can ride on a flaming motorbike to show off some Marvel Comics style.9.
2003: Iron Fist - Ray Park (The Toad in X-Men, Darth Maul in Star Wars) will star in this spiritual movie helmed by rising director Kirk Wong (The Big Hit) who has yet to really prove himself.8.

2003: Indiana Jones 4 - Only Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg. Maybe a Sean Connery ? I certainly hope so.9.
Dec 2003: Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King - THE must see movie of 2003

2005: Star Wars: Episode III - A very good setup in episode II, definitely a breath holder.

How did they finally actually fare ?


Mar 2002: Blade 2 - An excellent stylish Blade made a first impression of what Marvel Comics can do with movies. Hopefully a new director won't hurt this franchise.9. Little bit below expectations. Fair box office count.
May 2002: Star Wars: Episode II - Better hopes for this one, as Samuel L. Jackson will be wielding a light sabre, and Anakin (now played by boy star Hayden Christensen) promises to be less annoying. If only they could recapture the previous trilogy's depth and character interaction, where the dialogue alone was enough for the movie, and the special effects didn't really matter.8. Better than the first one. Very good B.O.
May 2002: Spider-Man - Can the Marvel Comics group keep up their marvelous record track of stylish full stories coupled with awesome special effects ? Let's hope so. Director Sam Raimi adds hope, as his previous movies show depth and well developed drama/story/characters.9+. Outstanding movie, well deserved smashing box office count.
Jul 2002: Men in Black 2 - Probably just a fun movie.7. As expected, just fun, not any more special than the first one. Good B.O.
Nov 2002: Harry Potter 2: The Chamber of Secrets - While the first movie was a hype, I totally went by me, coz I didn't read the book, and had no idea it was that big a hit. The movie surprised me on its own. My hope is that this will be even better, coz there are some points it could improve.8+. Tiny bit better than the first one. Slightly worse B.O. than the first one.
2002: Star Trek: Nemesis - As a Star Trek fan, whud can I say ? Just anxious how this 10th installment will hold up. Even
numbered movies have so far been the best, so, fingers crossed.9. While personally feeling this was a smashing hit, the B.O. was horrible.
2002: Final Destination 2 - Tough to follow up a surprise hit. How to keep it original ? 7. Have no idea, kinda degraded to a B-movie, hence, not seen, no comment.
26th Dec 2002: Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - See above. Let's see how the hype holds up after the first movie is released. Incredible movie, with an incredible B.O.
2003: Daredevil - Matt Damon in a tight red outfit, I'm not sure what to think. Let's hope he finally plays a more believable character than his previous movies.7. It turned out to be Ben Affleck in a tight red outfit. Fair B.O. for a fair movie..
