    For your Eyes only as it was to be my first 'new" 007 to see in cinema on immediate release.

    While I saw MR first in cinema a few months after its initial release and all older 007 flicks in double bills at my local cinema. FYEO was to be my first premiere 007 movie. I went up to LTK to the 007 movies on the first night. Ever since GE in the first week and this year the first week with both my daugthers.

    Another large anticipation was Lord of the Rings 3 years in a row and then the Hobbit 3 years in a row.

    I also remember my large anticipation with the first four Star Trek movies in cinema. The starship porn in the motion picture made my eyes water.

    CR, SF, and now SP. I might be the most pumped for SP out of anything movie ever.

    I think it's safe to say that the most I'm ever excited for a movie is when the next Bond is due for release. Have been the same ever since my first Bond movie cinema experience going to watch TLD.

    You weren't excited for QoS?

    I may have been most excited for that. Obviously CR was huge, but because of how good it was it raised my expectations for QoS.

    Ditto. It's also why it was my biggest disappointment of the era. You could say CR set the bar too high in some ways.

    The most excited I've been in recent memory is 'Mad Max: Fury Road' (which was somehow better than I had expected, which was already perfection) and SF (which was...yeah.)

    On re-watch (and with the knowledge of SF and SP) it's risen in my estimation. But after CR it was pretty jarring.

    I was cautiously hopeful for SPECTRE, and it was awesome IMHO. That's 21st Century awesome. In adjusted awesome it still wasn't LTK awesome. :))

    Batman 1989

    I was desperate to see the Dark Knight finally make it to the big screen and this looked dark, serious and visually fantastic.

    Trouble is when I finally got to see it I'd already made the film in my head! From all the movie stills, the soundtrack and trailer I'd concocted a Batman film that was a damn sight better than the one I was watching!

    Where was the excitement? The action seemed tame and unexciting. There was too much Vicky Vale and not enough Batman! Batman was a tough vigilante, not a lovesick drip!

    I came out of that West End cinema seriously disappointed!

    I saw it again a few weeks later at my local fleapit and liked the film a lot more. But I have never let myself get over excited about any film since!

    I too was disappointed after seeing it for the first time in the cinema. Now however there are many scenes that I really appreciate. It is a little below average for me.

    It's a good film. Still stands up pretty well.

    Have always loved the score!

    Very reminiscent of The Simpsons.

    I try not to get too excited anymore, as I've been disappointed so many
    Times. Independence Day: Resurgence for example :(
  • bondjamesbondjames You were expecting someone else?

    Batman (1989) was a bit of a disappointment for me too (although I saw it first on VHS long after release). Batman Begins (2005) however, blew me away.

    The first when I was a child was Return of the Jedi - Empire had been the second film I ever saw in a theatre. the chat around the schoolyard had been deafening about the trilogy finale for years. Rumours and theories had been bandied about and finally the time arrived and I couldn't have been happier going into the cinema. Then The Living Daylights. Remember biking down to the movies with my sister to go and see it - had been psyching up for it for six months by the time I got to see it. This was in the first stage of my bond fervour. The two disappointments were close together and they were Eyes Wide Shut - I'm a huge Kubrick fan and it was his last film and first for thirteen years. And Of course Phantom Menace. Since then I think it was only Casino Royale and My excited anticipated was thoroughly rewarded.

    Most recently I was REALLY pumped for Terminator: Genysis & SPECTRE. I loved both (but SPECTRE a whole lot more).

    It's one of my most watched films. I absolutely love it.

    I would have to say that Spectre ranks right up there with Empire Strikes Back and The Force Awakens.
