Gawker-related sci-fi site io9 has a poll on which summer movie will be an unexpected flop:
Nice complement to this thread…
Ha ha, TMNT is in the lead.
Thanks for sharing this. 
Well, poo. I misread the poll (actually, I correctly read the question, but failed to notice that it was a non-multiple-choice poll).
So please mentally remove my vote for Guardians of the Galaxy (which I do want to see, but not most out of all those listed) and reassign it to X-Men: Days of Future Past. Thank you.
(And that, at this moment, puts DOFP in the lead. :D)
Maleficent. She was always my favorite Disney villain. Some of the others I may see down the road on Netflix or something, but that’s the only concept that would get me to the theater.
How could you not be a bad guy when your name is “Maleficent”? 
I mean, really – I wonder if the movie will address her name: this is the name the villagers gave her after she started her reign of terror, or some such. Her real name is _____.
Nothing really. I watch about 100 movies a year on dvd, and the experience is just superior and the stories are so mediocre that it’s not worth paying the 10-20X premium of going to the theater. I regret not seeing Pacific Rim on the big screen until I found out how dark it was and it was being shown in 3d.
I picked Sin City: A Dame to Kill For because it’s the only one I’m likely to see in the theaters (well, okay, I’ll probably see *How To…II *too, but not because I particularly want to). I’m also interested in As Above, So Below.
Most of these, especially ones with superheroes, aren’t anything I’ll ever bother with even if they’re on Netflix.
What, no Walk of Shame? 
I don’t know about Into the Storm or Earth to Echo, what is it with these “found footage” films? I do want to see A Million Ways to Die in the West. I know, but still…
And of course, The Fault in Our Stars.
Godzilla is getting a 75% Fresh score – Certified Fresh! – on Rotten Tomatoes.
I have to say I’m impressed. Godzilla movies were always considered low-budget monster movie schlock when I was growing up, and the last effort with Matthew Broderick a few years ago did nothing to change my opinion. I’m actually thinking about seeing this now.
The only one I’m likely to see is Days of Future Past. I’d be looking forwards to Edge of Tomorrow if Tom Cruise wasn’t the star, and I’d be looking forwards to Guardians of the Galaxy if it was a different subset of the GotG lineup.
Well, either I was wrong or my beautiful young wife is gaslighting me. I offered to take her to see Godzilla last night, and she replied basically, “I don’t know why you think I want to see that.”
If I wind up dead or in an asylum with no brain at all, someone please check the attic for jewels.
I will watch **X-men **because I think the series can recover with a strong storyline - and time travel fits the bill.
I have no idea why Hollywood is remaking Spiderman.
Godzilla might be fun, but I would rather see a follow-up to Cloverfield, which was a clever Monster movie (with geographical accuracy.)
The Matrix, Cloud Atlas, or Bound?
Because Sony would rather make a bad Spider-Man movie than let Marvel make a good Spider-Man movie.
I’m pretty much set for just “Jupiter Ascending.” It’s the only original film on the list I’ve got hopes for (though there’s also “Lucy” by Besson in August). For me, the Wachowskis have had more hits than misses, so even with casting I’m not all that psyched about, I’ll give it a shot. The rest, I can wait for the DVD.
I kind of like fantasy and sci-fi movies. But I certainly won’t be going to a movie theater and paying to see any of these! It’s OK if they show up on TV someday, as background noise (as opposed to the program guide or senate hearings or the Kartrashians). If I was offered a free ticket and a trip to the cineplex, had to pick one, it would be ‘Maleficent’.
The Matrix. And only the first one.
I don’t do the theaters anymore but if I was forced to go see one I’d go see TMNT.
I went with *Guardians of the Galaxy *in the poll. I will also see *Godzilla *and the wife and child want to see Maleficent, but I will probably let them go without me.
I never heard of Earth to Echo, so I looked it up and still don’t know what it is.
The rest will, at best, be Redbox or wait for it to show up on Netflix.
Earth to Echo is a POV film told with multiple characters all holding their own camera phones, with a very ET-like plot. Stylistically it would drive me batty, but I think most teens would shrug that off quite easily.
