Sackboy: The Movie aka 9

Trailer

Looks good to me.

Also, am I the only one who thinks it is a bit odd that 3 movies coming out all have the number nine in the title? This, Nine, and District 9. I mean, I know it's 2009, but this is starting to get excessive.

This is the summer movie I have been most excited about. Tim Burton is either hit or miss but this looks really good.

I usually find Tim Burton's movies to be rather average or completely overhyped. But as a producer role I think he'll add in his nice charm. The trailer really drew me in the first time I saw it, moreso than the 6 other action-oriented movies they showed before and after.

Hm, the comments at IMDB didn't have terribly nice things to say about it, but I think I'll wait and watch it for myself. Possibly for free when it comes out on DVD. :p

Edward Scissorhands, Nightmare Before Christmas, and Beetlejuice were his best movies, and everything else has paled in comparison. I think he's basically been riding the popularity of those movies ever since. Did he have a hand in Coraline? I just watched that and that was pretty good. So maybe I'm talking out of my ass. His take on the Mad Hatter is just terrible, though.

As for 9, looks pretty good. I look forward to seeing it.

That was Henry Selick not Tim Burton. I don't recall him having anything to do with Coraline what so ever though.

It looks pretty good. My reaction to seeing the trailer was "Hey! Little Big Movie!" which, while it isn't that, it does look to entertain.

Wasn't this first an animated short back in 2005?

Big Fish and Batman were pretty darn awesome.

So who is directing 9? Shane Acker, huh? Wow, he has almost nothing on IMDB. I hope he does well.

ONLY THE FIRST BATMAN The others in that series sucked

Well the guy was the director of the short film that was nominated for an oscar, it's only fair he gets to direct the feature length version as well.
