The world’s biggest fan geek expo took over San Diego, California this weekend. As has become the custom, countless pop culture devotees descended on SoCal, many dressed up like their favorite superhero or sci-fi hottie. But beyond the enthusiasts, the 43rd Annual Comic-Con was also flooded with the requisite number of Hollywood heavyweights.

comic con convention superhero

Comic-Con has expanded over the years from a fringe comic book convention to the place to be for studios who want to preview their upcoming blockbusters and the fans who love them. In addition to TV panels that featured everything from “Glee to “True Blood,” the big buzz was about the slew of high profile filmmakers who were sharing their projects to the masses.

As was expected, fans lined up overnight to get into “Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2.” Zack Snyder showed footage from his darker-than-usual take on Superman called “Man of Steel.” Guillermo Del Toro gave a peak at his highly anticipated science fiction flick “Pacific Rim,” which pits monsters against robots. And Peter Jackson revealed what might be considered the Holy Grail of the whole event: a preview of “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.”

But perhaps most surprising of all was the excitement over Quentin Tarantino’s latest offering “Django Unchained.” The director has long been a darling of Comic-Con, but spaghetti westerns about slaves don't show up all that often in the illustrious showroom. Even for those who didn’t make the convention, word is spreading like wildfire about all these films. So we have to ask: Which upcoming blockbuster are you most excited about?

    I was torn between Superman and The Hobbit, but Peter Jackson will probably make major an illogical deviations from The Hobbit story line--like he did in The Lord of the Rings with having Sam abandon Frodo or having Aragorn turn aside from his destiny--that will anger me, so I went with Superman. It's hard though to do justice to Superman too--no pun intended.

    Where's the option for the 2014 Godzilla they showed footage of? Or the Hellboy 3 Guillermo said he was working on?

    Hobbit should be rather epic. The rest all seem a little lame. Superman is rarely good, twilight is dirdge, Pacific i've not heard of, and Django is hard to be excited for really.

    Though I have to agree with others here that Comic Con is definitely getting watered down to being just another convention for movie and TV studios to cash in on. I liked it better when it was more of a "Nerd" Convention than a commercial one. Like all good things though, nothing lasts forever.

    This is the biggest roll of the dice. This could go so very wrong or very right. TWILIGHT will just suck. HOBBIT, DJANGO and PACIFIC RIM will all ne pretty awesome.

    based on the political drooling come out of the mouths of most in Hollyweird, I'd recommend staying at home and watching re-runs of Green Acres.

    I was torn between this and the Hobbit, but I picked this one. The last Superman movie was such an embarrassment that I am hoping this will save the franchise.

    I wonder if it will be as good as Lord of the Rings.
