New to BIG screen 6/8/12

Some time this month was to be the original release for G.I. Joe Retaliation, but was moved to March 2013 so they could film extra scenes after poor test screenings, and include 3D elements, which in my opinion is a very bad thing. I've got nothing against 3D, but when it gets rushed into the process when it was never intended to begin with, negative things can happen. Wrath Of The Titans had 3D installed after filming due to Avatar's smashing success, and the reviews said you could tell. The 3D didn't look right and was choppy, And I'm afraid the same could happen with good ol' Yo Joe.

I had seen Avengers in 3D, but I wasn't blown away by it, and even forgot it was until I reminded myself what these glasses on my face were for.

So I'm not a big fan of 3D, but not against either. I just know I won't pay extra. Now here is what IS coming out this week:

Prometheus 

 After last weeks craptastic releases, this one should be gangbusters!! 
(not sure if the following is a spoiler or not but here goes....) 
A prequel to Aliens, but not exactly. It gets hazy, Blade Runner hazy, and truthfully, I have avoided reading about it so I don't spoil anything for myself. As a HUGE Alien series fan (that includes Alien3, AvP, & AvP2), I am really looking forward to this!

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted

... 3, Really? Didn't know they made a 2nd! My wife & I saw the first in theaters years ago, and thought it was cute, and safe.. but my god, was it short. Or at least it felt short, let me go check.... yep! 86 minutes. That's too damned short for a full feature theatrical film, but the sequel is 89, and this one is 85!!! (get the Seinfeld reference?) Wow. That is WITH credits!! It's amazing that studios charge full price, and more for IMAX or 3D for anything under an hour & half. This must be a Dreamworks thing. Puss in Boots, Kung Fu Panda 2, Megamind, & How to Train Your Dragon all between 90-100 minutes. Pixar is guilty of this too at times but at least their movies don't feel short (I dare you to watch Toy Story 3, UP, or Wall-E and not tear up)

I'm holding out hope that one of the animals dies this time around. That Giraffe is long over due. Remember when they we're not afraid of killing a cartoon character in front of our eyes? From Bambi's mom, to Optimus Prime, to Mufasa we cried over the loss, and got on with our lives. I think it made us better people as a whole. Just don't kill those annoying penguins, their death would be empty and meaningless.

5 others in limited or just LA/NY release. So these are most likely, your only picks for a new flick. I say throw everything behind Prometheus, and see what happens!
