2015 is just around the corner, and with a new year, comes a new line of movies! And since some of you have no idea what movies are coming out next year, I took the liberty of making a list that consist of which movies you should be looking forward to in the upcoming months. Your Welcome!
Number 10: Marvel's Ant Man
Release Date: July 17, 2015
This was a last minute decision. Based on the fact that production of this film has been problematic, with Edgar Wright quitting as director, and the abundance of actors who followed, I was surprised to find out that, just recently, they just finished filming. So although, I am not that excited about a superhero who has the power to shrink and control ants, I am impressed with Marvel's determination to get this film out to the public.
Number 9: The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2
Release Date: November 20, 2015
Considering how depressing Part 1 was, I'm hoping that Part 2 tops off the series with a happy ending. Especially, since I haven't read any of the books ( For me, it keeps the movies suspenseful). "The Hunger Games" saga has been exciting and entertaining since its inception in 2012, and here's hoping that the finale is a grand one.
Number 8: 007: Spectre
Release Date: November 6, 2015
Formally known as "Bond 24," this Bond film has been kept under wraps until recently last week, where it was revealed it would be titled "007: Spectre." The plot reads as followed, "A cryptic message from Bond’s past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organisation. While M battles political forces to keep the secret service alive, Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind SPECTRE." Sounds intriguing. Plus, Christoph Waltz, the great German Doctor from "Django Unchained," might have been casted as the villain of this film, so my hopes are high, plain and simple, because of his inclusion.
Number 7: Ted 2
Release Date: June 26, 2015
The first "Ted" was hilarious. I actually have it on DVD because it was that funny. Unfortunately, I cannot provide any backstory for this upcoming "Ted 2," because no one really knows what it's about yet. That's how secretive Seth MacFarlane has been about it. I just hope it's just as good as the first one, if not better.
Number 6: Tomorrowland
Release Date: May 22, 2015
Based on the popular attraction at Disney World, this movie stars the talented George Clooney and Hugh Laurie, and will be directed by Brad Bird, director of "The Incredibles" and "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol." This movie could go either way. It could be good, or bad, but I'm excited to find out which one it will be.
Number 5: Terminator: Genisys
Release Date: July 1, 2015
No, I did not spell "Genesis" wrong, that's just the way the studio decided to spell it. Anyhow, the Terminator franchise has had it's ups and downs. The most notable "down" being Terminator: Salvation. But I truly believe that this movie will put the franchise back on track, especially since it's focusing on a time traveling "Back to the Future Part Two-ish" story arc. Kyle Reese goes back in time to save John Connor's mom, Sarah Connor, from a Terminator sent to kill her. Difference is, when Kyle goes back in time, Sarah is an experienced killer, protected by a Terminator of her own, and now the timeline goes haywire because something obviously went wrong. Classic time-traveling scenario!
Number 4: Furious 7
Release Date: April 3, 2015
Number 3: Jurassic World
Release Date: June 12, 2015
"Jurassic Park" was a part of my childhood just as much as it was anybody else's. That's quite an accomplishment, especially since it came out in theaters 4 years before I was even born. That being said, I'm ecstatic that I finally get the chance to see a "Jurassic Park" movie in theaters along with hundreds of other people. The official synopsis points out that "Jurassic World" is the rebooted and successful version of John Hammond's "Jurassic Park." It is a safe and operational park that attracts over hundreds of thousands of visitors everyday. When visitation numbers begin to drop, the corporate owners of "Jurassic World" decide the best thing to do is CREATE A NEW DINOSAUR! It's a safe bet that this is the reason chaos ensues inside Jurassic World. The plot may sound all too familar to that of a B-rated creature feature on the SyFy Channel, but at least it's different and offers up a lot more creativity than what the previous sequels had to offer.
Number 2: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Release Date: December 18, 2015
Unthinkable! Unbelievable! What are they doing?! These were the words that popped into my head when I first heard that Disney was going to produce a new trilogy of films that would follow the original Star Wars trilogy. I was uneasy. But now that I have seen the first trailer to Episode 7 and learned that the original cast will have a presence in this film, I believe that "the force is strong with this one."
Number 1: Marvel's the Avengers: Age of Ultron
Release Date: May 1. 2015
Just downright awesome! The first Avengers film was a dream come true! I loved every minute of watching it. Now, when I learned about the sequel, I couldn't help but feel worried. I mean, "HOW CAN YOU TOP THE AVENGERS?!" My feelings towards this movie was full of uncertainty. That was until I laid my eyes upon the first trailer of "Age of Ultron," and MY GOD! IT WAS A MASTEPIECE! Expectations are high for this movie, but based on what I saw in the trailer, I have no doubt in my mind that those expectations will be met above and beyond! Avengers Assemble!
