During summer break, many movies that are expected to do well in the box office are to be released.

From "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," to "Night at the Museum 2," there is a wide variety of movies to see.

This summer, however, the three that look the most promising to me are "Wolverine," "Terminator," and "Transformers 2."

"Wolverine" seems to take on the mutant perspective from a different angle than the previous "X-Men" movies have.

The movie is set in a time before the mutants are in the academy, back to when Wolverine had not been experimented on.

The movie is set to be released May 1, but unfortunately, a rough version was released illegally online, much to everyone who had been involved in the movie's dismay.

The movie will feature different mutants than the first movies featured, such as Gambit, a mutant that has long been awaited for on-screen.

The trailer makes the movie seem so action packed, with intense mutant action and much screen time for Hugh Jackman, who plays Wolverine, the popular, rugged, "take-what-he-wants" protagonist, seems to kick much enemy butt the whole movie long.

This is definitely an upcoming must see movie. Let's just hope that the soon to be released "Wolverine" movie is as good as, if not better than, the previous "X-Men" movies.

Also, along with the "X-Men" movies, another "Origins" movie is to be released in 2010, this time focusing around Magneto, an antagonizing character in every movie.

"Transformers II: Revenge of the Fallen," is another movie that I cannot wait to be released.

This one does not come out until June 24, which leaves a big gap in between "Wolverine" and this movie.

Sure, there are other movies that can be seen in between these, but the "Transformers" sequel looks so amazing, at least from the trailer.

Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox are sure to put on great performances for this movie.

"Transformers" is supposed to focus on more Decepticon robots (the bad guys) coming to Earth under the rule of Starscream, since Megatron was put out of commission in the last movie.

He soon gets brought back to life, and more Decepticon reinforcements are on the way.

The Autobots have reinforcements of their own on the way, and are sure to put up a pretty good fight against the Decepticons.

The great graphics and effects that were seen in the last movie are going to be equal, if not better than, the effects seen in the first "Transformers." There is much to be expected from this sequel.

The last movie that I am particularly looking forward to is the new "Terminator: Salvation" movie.

Some may say that it has now been overdone, but there is a new twist on this one.

First of all, good old Arnold Schwarzenegger is not the main robot, although he is set to make some kind of appearance in this one as well.

Second of all, the events finally take place in the terrible god-forsaken future that was mentioned 100 times in every movie, but was never seen.

Christian Bale is the star in this May 21 release.

The release date falls nicely in between the other two release dates, so there is not much time between these big releases.

Set in the year of 2018, John Conor (Bale) is to lead mankind in a resistance against the robots.

Sure, these movies may be sequels (or in the case of Wolverine, a prequel), but that doesn't mean that they can't be good movies.
