300: Rise of an Empire
The first movie I want to see isn't until March, great.
Anyway, I can't believe this is seriously happening. There is no sequel to the fantastic comic books. The first one ended on a fair note with nearly all the characters dying. It was an exaggeration of history made for guys to love and their girlfriends to roll their eyes. Whether or not the sequel actually happened in history is going to be thrown out the window as well. Why is this movie existing and Why do I want to see it?
Xerxes/Sexrex
I love this asshole. His look, his performance, his motivation. It is so over-the-top that I love it.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Though I had mixed opinions about the original, the sequel looks like it has more potential just looking at the trailer. It doesn't look like a mopey-dopey comic book movie like the first one, it looks like fun! Just as it should be. The choice for casting the villains sure is a little off. Paul Giamatti as the Rhino? Jamie Foxx as Electro? I'm not seeing it. They are both really good actors but I'm not sure if they fit those roles. Guess we'll see.
Godzilla
Finally! A cool, modern, Godzilla film to redeem for the awful Matthew Broderick one!Obviously, the Japanese versions cannot be beat. It will still be interesting to see an American version that isn't cheesy with good effects and doesn't make the monster look like an iguana. Plus my favorite actor, Bryan Cranston is in it!
Maleficent
Why. WHY. My favorite Disney character is getting her own movie. I should be excited, but I'm really fearful. I really don't want this character's image to be ruined. I could care less about her back story or what happened to Aurora in all those years. I don't need to know! Sleeping Beauty was good as is and didn't leave me with those questions. If Disney wants to make the next big Alice in Wonderland then whatever. I'm not really appreciating their live action remakes/sequels/prequels of their animated features, but I am interested in how they turn out.
The Fault in Our Stars
I really liked the book. Some parts were pretentious and could have been better, but I liked how it was unlike most of the romantic stories out there. I really don't like romantic films as I think they are unlike any real-life relationships. Something about FIOS felt so real and unique that really touched me rather than having me roll my eyes. I hope the film keeps that and isn't cliched. I really don't want to see it if it is going to be cheesy, aimed at teenagers, and just a sad-sack of a movie. It is a very tragic romance, and I really don't want that to be ruined.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.
For what it was, the first one was pretty good (first as in the prequel, not the original series). I was really intrigued by what was happening and how it all played out. There were a lot of tacky moments, but towards the second half it got pretty serious. This sequel appears that it will go above in beyond in suspense and developing how it got to the rest of the series. I am very eager to learn more about what happened between our time and the original Planet of the Apes. Does this prequel series need to happen? No, but at least they are pretty interesting. The performances and special effects also tie everything together.
The Boxtrolls
Coraline was great. ParaNorman was great. I am really hoping Laika can hit another home run with this one. The teaser itself looks amazing. As usual, the stop motion looks very consistent and detailed. I am glad this company is continuing to use stop motion even if it is not attracting the biggest of audiences.
Well that's the list SO FAR of films I would like to see this year. Some are not completely set on their release date and others I really don't know what to expect, like Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain America:The Winter Soldier. I would love to know what movies you would like to see this year and why!
