My Most Anticipated Movies of 2015

Well, the new year is upon us, so I came back to talk about the movies that are coming up.  At least that I know about at the moment.

Its the time of year for top ten lists and all that too, and I’ll get to mine soon enough as well.

Honourable Mention: Ant-Man

I’m not sure how I feel about this one. I am interested in seeing Marvel try to pull off another film around a lesser known Superhero and I think Paul Rudd is a great choice for lead. But Edgar Wright’s departure has me quite a bit less interested as I was really eager to see what he would do with it.

5. Mad Max: Fury Road

I like Mad max, but don’t love it.  I do love Road Warrior however. Thunderdome was stupid.  It will be interesting to see Max’s return and which of those three it is closer too.  It seems to be closer to Road Warrior, so that is exciting.  I also think Tom Hardy is a great choice as Max while the visual style looks familiar yet fresh.

4. Inside Out

inside-out

I’m always interested to see what Pixar is bringing to the table, and Inside Out is a neat premise.  I haven’t watched a lot of the promotional stuff to be honest, but I am hopeful this can be the next step on Pixar’s return to form.

3. Jurassic World

latest

Jurassic Park is one of my all-time favourite films, though the sequels don’t have any hold over me.  I honestly expect this to be more like then sequels, but I am still intrigued.  The idea that the park is actually open is awesome and when I saw that in the trailer I got really excited.  So who know?  Could be a disaster, but I’ll be there to find out.

2. Avengers: Age of Ultron

I have been bitten by the Marvel bug.  I like the boldness of their cinematic universe and how its all connected, and I’m excited for the next step with Avengers 2.  Ultron looks like a cool villain, and I’m sure I’ll geek out at all the rest thrown at us.

1. Star Wars: The Force Awakens

  1. That’s a neat list 😀

  2. I thought your top five list would be all filled with Taken 3. 😛 Love the list.

  3. Great picks, I’m excited to see all of these. I’m a little skeptical of Ant Man but who knows, it could turn out to be awesome right?

  4. Jurassic World and Inside Out are definitely on my list, oh and of course, SPECTRE 🙂

  5. All excellent choices. Can’t believe how good this year is gonna be for movies.
