2013: Movies I can't wait to see!

Okay so I was asked what films I am most looking forward to seeing in 2013 (so far its been pretty pants) but here is my list so far...

1.) Iron Man 3 
Everyone's favourite Avenger returns and with Shane Black behind the story you know its going to be brilliant, plus there looks like an army of Iron Men in this one! Out May 3rd


 2.) Star Trek: Into the Darkness 
The first JJ Abrams Star Trek won me over (I have never enjoyed Star Trek before) and this has Benedict Cumberpatch as the villain! Out May 15th

  

3.) Monsters University 
Monsters Inc is one of my all time favourite Pixar so I can't wait for this long awaited prequel - should be really fun. Out June 21st

 

4.) World War Z 
Brad Pitt, end of the world, tons of zombies whats not to like! Out June 21st


5.) The Wolverine 
The first two X-Men films did Wolverine justice but The Last Stand and the Origins story were awful - this looks to get back to the gritty world of the originals. Set in Japan with ninja's and samurai it has a lot of potential. Out July 26th


6.) The Worlds End 
I love Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz and it has been 6 years since HF so I cannot wait for the final film in the "Cornetto Trilogy". Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Edgar Wright = hilariousness! Out August 23rd


7.) The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug 
Yes the Unexpected Journey was long winded and not as exciting as LOTR but I love the characters and being back in Middle Earth and I think parts 2 and 3 will improve on the first, but so long still to wait, urgh come on December! Out December 13th


Honourable  Mentions

1. Pain and Gain - Michael Bay returns with The Rock and Mark Wahlberg mixing it up in the 80's! Out April 26th
2. Despicable Me 2 - Funny and cute no doubt. Out July 3rd
3. Oldboy - Its got a lot to live up to but with Josh Brolin I'm on board. Out October 11th
4. Thor: The Dark World - My second favourite Avenger, hoping for more of the same. Out November 8th

Hopeful but Anxious (could be great could be pants!)

1. The Hangover Part III - 1st one was ace, 2nd one was urgh, third one....? Out May 24th
2. Pacific Rim - has potential and Idris Elba but could be Tranformers vs Godzilla. Out July 12th
3. Elysium - Matt Damon in Neill Blomkamp's 2nd film District 9 was good but weird. Out August 9th
4. Sin City: A Dame to Kill For - A return to the graphic novel world of Frank Miller. Out October 4th
5. Anchorman 2 - Please don't mess this up guys, the first is a classic! Out December 20th

What films are you looking forward to this year?
