***THIS IS MY TOP 10 LIST.
IT MAY NOT HAVE THE MOVIES YOU WANT IT TO HAVE. DON'T COMPLAIN.
INSTEAD LEAVE YOUR TOP 10 MOST ANTICIPATED MOVIES OF 2015 IN THE COMMENTS. ***
10. PIXELS
I hadn’t heard about this one until recently but am already anticipating the movie. The plot just sounds so damn cool.
9. MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 5
Mission Impossible has been a great spy series since the release of the first movie back in the 90s (minus the awful MI2) and remains one of my favourite action franchises as it almost always manages to bring something fresh and new to the genre. After the excellent Ghost Protocol, MI5 will be a must see for me in 2015.
8. POLTERGEIST
Easily one of my favourite horror films of all time, and one of the first I ever saw gets the part-sequel/part-reboot treatment and while many may be dreading the film (because people hate things, especially remakes/reboots before they are released) and more than excited. Plus Sam Rockwell is in it. I am cautious however as I was letdown (but still enjoyed) the Evil Dead sequel/remake.
7. PAN
I loved the Peter Pan story (and animated film) as a kid and now its getting the live-action big-screen treatment with a cast made up of some of my favourite current actors (Rooney Mara, Hugh Jackman, Garrett Hedlund etc...) and a great director. The 2003 version was okay, but I have much higher hopes for this.
6. FANTASTIC FOUR
I still don’t understand the hate this movie is already generating. Personally I’m confident in the talented director, writer, cast, and the potential for a new take on Marvel’s First Family. This film has my curiosity (we’ve heard so little about it) and has the chance to be a truly memorable and epic CBM.
5. BOND 24
Skyfall was my third favourite Bond film (behind Casino Royale and Goldeneye) so Im very much anticipating it’s follow-up.
4. MAD MAX: FURY ROAD
The Road Warrior is another one of my favourite films, so to see series creator George Miller back at the helm after all these years greatly boosts my confidence. Plus that trailer was [frick]ing awesome!
3. TERMINATOR: GENISYS
This one, like Fantastic Four, is more based on curiosity than anything else thanks to the rumored storyline. As someone who actually enjoys all the installments of the Terminator franchise (I’m in the minority) I’m very interested to see how this plays out.
2. JURASSIC WORLD
The original Jurassic Park is one of my top twenty films of all time and with a talented director, great cast, and fresh story for the sequel, my anticipation for the film is sky high.
1. STAR WARS EPISODE VII
My favourite franchise of all time returns to the big-screen for the first time since Revenge of the Sith (if you don’t include the Clone Wars film) and I couldn’t be more excited...and worried. Is this film necessary? No. Do I trust the studio? No. But nonetheless I can’t wait.
