The current poll on the front page of ComingSoon is "Which 2008 movie are you anticipating the most?" One of the choices is "James Bond 22". At the moment it's only gotten 1.7% of 7733 votes.

I'm surprised Indy 4 doesn't rank higher than it does.

I had to look up what this Dark Knight movie was all about

[DamnCoffee]

Voted obviously for Bond 22

EDIT:
says i've already voted

[K1Bond007]

Even I find it hard to vote for Bond right now. We got a movie on the way still unlike others that are waiting for their next sequel, their first big blockbuster, or their next sequel in over 10 years.

I went with The Dark Knight. For now, anyway

[Harmsway]

I'm sorry guys, but for 2008, I'm looking forward to THE DARK KNIGHT more than BOND 22.

[Harmsway]

EDITED

I just added another vote to Bond 22. Nothing else on the list caught my eye that much.

[Publius]

It was a tough call between Bond and Indy for me, not knowing what either could possibly be about, but I had to give it to Bond considering I still doubt Indy 4 will actually be made.

Having not seen Batman Begins yet (yeah, I know), I couldn't really vote for The Dark Knight. The rest struck me as mediocre to crap, so there you go.

[Loomis]

I'm surprised Indy 4 doesn't rank higher than it does.

I'm not. Does anyone believe it's ever actually going to be made?

Of the films on that list, I'll see AVATAR (it's the new James Cameron, right?) and, obviously, BOND 22. THE DARK KNIGHT and maybe STAR TREK will get my money if the buzz around them is extremely good. Not interested in any of the others.

[DamnCoffee]

I have faith with indy 4 and i cant wait to hear the great theme in Cinemas

[Thunderfinger]

The Fantastic Four meet The Silver Surfer in the next one? Wow.
Too bad McMahon is still Doom.

I have faith after seeing Harrison Ford say on TV, in an interview, that he was 98% sure of it being made (or was it 99.8% - who cares). Doesn't mean it will be so... but it gives me hope.

Bit meaningless though, isn't it? Considering that most of the other films on the poll have a cast, some plot details, and yes, ACTUAL TITLES, its moot. And as usual for online polls, fanboy/geek movies like Halo and Hellboy 2 skew higher than they would with the general public.

[Thunderfinger]

I voted for Bond 22, but only out of sympathy for Cody.

[Cody]

Thanks, Thunderfinger.

[Qwerty]

Bond 22 for me.

[Agent Spriggan Ominae]

I'm sorry guys, but for 2008, I'm looking forward to THE DARK KNIGHT more than BOND 22.

At the moment I feel the same. Maybe because TDK comes out earlier and we know a bit more about what it will be about. Still Batman in summer, Bond in winter! I'm a happy camper!

[Qwerty]

True. A win-win situation.

[shady ginzo]

gotta agree totally with Harmsway, as far as 2008 is concerned at the moment The Dark Knight is at the very top of my list. Not to say that come the time Bond 22 won't excite me just as much, But Batman Begins was my favorite cinema experience of 2005 and delivered A class entertainment when I had very low expectations from the Batman Franchise. Nolan's revived Batman is a rare gem and compare that to a 22nd installment of a franchise I love very much, but have been familiar with all my life.

My anticipation breakdown of the movies on the poll -

I don't care at all about "Avatar", "Where the Wild Things Are", "Madagascar 2", "Horton Hears a Who", "The Tale of Despereaux", "The Spiderwick Chronicles", or "Inkheart". Though half of them I know nothing about.

I will see "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", "Star Trek XI", and "Hellboy 2: The Golden Army" theatrically, but there's no real level of anticipation. I'll probably see "Halo", since I just got into the game (long after most). I'll catch "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" on DVD, even though, despite being a fan of the books when I was little, I found "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" torturous to sit through. I'll see "Indiana Jones 4", but as much as I enjoy the Indiana movies I just can't get too excited about watching Ford play Grumpy Old Indy.

I will see and am looking forward to "The Dark Knight" and "Iron Man"...

but when the vote choice has to be made, the one I really care about is "James Bond 22". The others don't matter as long as there's Bond.

[Vilain]

It's a tough choice.
I'm looking forward to The Dark Knight, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Star Trek XI, Indy 4, Halo (I know, a video game movie, But I do love the game, and have hopes that Peter Jackson having a hand in it and the lack of Uwe Boll directing might make a winner), and, of course, Bond 22.

But in the end I voted for Indy 4, cause I just love to see the return of it after so many years (even with 'grumpy old Indy ).

[MarcAngeDraco]

It's gotta be Bond 22 for me!!

[Blonde Bond]

I cant vote on that.

There are three movies I equally await and they're all on that list.

Batman,Bond & the New Adventures of Grandpa Jones

[hcmv007]

How about 'Colonol Sun' or 'For Special Services'? I think those would be good-especially 'For Special Services', just make Cedar Felix's sister, and make the organization the same one Bond chases in CR. With Colonol Sun, have him kidnap M b/c of his failed coup. or one he stages. Just a thought.

[Vauxhall]

Very close decision between THE DARK KNIGHT and BOND 22 for me, but went with Bond for the moment. 2008 looks like it's going to be a great year for movies, especially if INDIANA JONES 4 gets made as well. I'm not a huge fan of HARRY POTTER, but I'll probably see that.

Out of interest, and I'm not exactly sure where I got this idea from, but was the title AVATAR rumoured for a Bond film at some point?

If we haven't seen the Gardner titles used by now, though...

But who knows. It's been how many years since an official adaption of Casino Royale was made, and we're finally getting that this year.

Official? 53 years It's also the second movie they made after acquiring the license (1999). I don't think that has anything to do with the Gardner/Benson/Amis titles. We've been over all this before. Zencat and I talked about it here not long ago and there are older threads devoted to it.

Yeah. I'm amped for THE DARK KNIGHT because I know what it's about, who's in it, and who's handling it. It's at the top of my "Most Anticipated" list at this point.

I don't really have much to go on about whether or not I should be excited for BOND 22 other than it's being another Bond film with Craig (which is exciting, but for me to get really amped, I need more information).

[RazorBlade]

I voted for Bond 22. Loyal I guess. I want to see the others. Especially intrigued by IRON MAN and THE DARK KNIGHT.

[Johnboy007]

I went for Bond 22 but I found it amusing that Star Trek XI has more votes.



(Though as a Trek fan I do look forward to it)

Indy4 and Batman, too? Should be a great movie year for me.
