Because, 2017 is the year when, Fifty Shades Darker gets released. 
By the way, how many of you have already watched Civil War? I am having a huge list of movies to watch after my exams, after 20th this month.

Really very funny movie. Someone mentioned in on-line that should avoid trailer(I rarely watch movie trailers) of movie before watching movie. He was right 100%. Favorite movie from this genre.

Wow. Must be very different over where you live.
For me, there's not been a decent movie in years - stories that insult one's intelligence and lots of special effects. Add in to the mix some remakes and sequels. It's gotten so bad I've taken to streaming old Dick Tracy Serials[^].
Well - at least there's Full Frontal With Samantha Bee (but that's not a movie, either).

Not agree with that.
There have been good films in the last years. I agree with the "blockbusters" but there still is some quality up and a while.

I think you should try indie/low budget films for a change like Safety Not Guaranteed, Half nelson, Fish tank, 11:14, etc., I could make you a list.

Actually, I have a smallish source of independently made films on a streaming station. It's forte is movies (shorts: 5-20 min) and advertising that will definitely not make it to (US) TV or theaters.
But, then, I still find little to nothing in terms of creativity in the main-stream. Not like in "Days of Yore" where there such movies as "A Clockwork Orange", "Blazing Saddles", "Apocalypse Now", and "Easy Rider" to name a few off the top of my head.

Saw Civil War in the opening weekend. Thoroughly enjoyed it - all except for Martin Freeman and the worst parody of an accent since "Awrayight Merry Poppins" was unleashed on an unsuspecting world. Americans, I apologise to you - you have many fine actors, but apparently the best choice for an American was a hobbit.

Wasn't James Doohan's "Scottish" accent unleashed more recently than Mr Van Lesbian's "Cockney" accent?

It was nowhere near as bad as Dick Van Dyke, which was nowhere near as bad as Freeman.

So one movie will destroy a whole year of movies?
I mean I don't remember Fifty Shades Of Gray ruin any other movies for me.
Also Warcraft the movie is coming out soon! I'm not that much into Marvel, did like Deadpool since it wasn't the usual PG-13 Marvel movie. Even though I did like both Hellboys and Constantine. The Avengers and all the movies surrounding them are not that interesting to me. I feel the comic book genre is getting over saturated. Were the Kick-Ass movies also Marvel? I liked those two.
I hope the new Jason Bourne will be good though. I liked the first three.

Then wait up for Wolverine[^], it is said to be R-rated too.

Hm, hopefully it will be better done than the rest of his standalone movies. But yeah, I guess I will keep an eye out for that one.

Because Deadpool came from 20th Century Fox instead of Marvel studios. Ofcourse Deadpool is a Marvel comics character but the movie rights belongs to Fox right now. That has movie rights of X-Men too. Surprisingly they're making R rated Wolverine sequel like Deadpool.

So am I. I liked Spiderman 2(Tobey Maguire version). I hated that reboot Amazing spiderman.

The problem with Marvel studios is they're making movies to target teenage groups(by watering down source material to avoid R rating) so usually they're making PG-13 or PG rated movies so it would bring more money because of wider audience.

Original comics from Marvel's sub division. But produced by Matthew Vaughn. He's the guy who made Kingsman. Both movies are R Rated. He never compromise the material for making money. But both movies made good money.

Did not know that. Makes me a bit more excited about Wolverine. As long as it isn't Deadpool 2.0.

I liked Spiderman 1 and 2 with Tobey. Had hopes for the third one, but there were too many villains and each about half way done. Haven't watched the reboot(yet).

I understand that. And I understand that I am no longer their target audience, since I'm too old. But still I don't like it that much, it's not bad, but not something I would be too upset if I miss.

Also did not know that. I like Kingsman as well. Hopefully the sequel will be good.

Looking forward to Alice Through The Looking Glass
I also enjoyed the new Jungle Book!
But there are a lot of good promising movies coming this year

As the nearest cinema is 15 miles away and the public transport is brilliantly arranged to make it impossible to get back here after 9.00pm I'll let you know how it turned out in 2019!

I will probably watch the Civil war on DVD or something, not worth spending my money on yet another Avenger movie.
There's the BFG movie coming out next month, Jungle Book and the Independence day sequel. Not sure about the last one, but I'll probably go anyway. I think the first Star Wars spin off should come in December.

But 2017 is also the year when F/SN Heaven's Feel movie will be released.

Don't you realise what a huge waste of time it is to watch movies?
Do something useful with your time, instead.
