Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is my dark horse this summer. I think Guardians of the Galaxy could be really cool, too, but I'm not convinced they're going to be able to convince people to actually go to the theater to see something that looks that crazy. It's pretty far outside the safe, cookie-cutter Hollywood blockbuster formula, at least in appearance. I hope it does well.
The biggest movie of the year will probably be the next Transformers sequel. 
Some big movies later in the year. Gone Girl will probably be huge. I would say Interstellar is the one I'm looking forward to the most, but it's not here until November 7th. |
Winter Soldier was slightly better than I expected, and I enjoyed it even though I've felt it's yet to hit it's stride with getting the character established. I'm not explaining it well, but I'm eager to see where they go with it in 3.
As for Spidey 2- I guess I'm in the minority that liked the 1st, and Toby just never jived with me as an actor for that role, and I completely prefer Garfield regardless of one liking the Raimi trilogy.
I'm crossing my fingers that Dawn of the PotA can match the 1st, but that's a heavy order. Even though Franco isn't back - except maybe in a small cameo that's been rumored, I like the cast they brought in for the 2nd part of the series.
I had zero opinion about GotG since I wasn't familiar with it prior to the movie going into production. From the clips, trailers, and bits and pieces trickling out, I'm actually eagerly awaiting to see this once it opens. Pratt and Del Toro look great so far in the limited stuff they've put out. I hope I'm not disappointed given my recent interest.
I'm sure Transformers will rake in it's tons of cash. I'm cool with bringing in the new cast. Wahlberg doesn't bother me like he does for some.
The plot line based on the trailers doesn't seem nearly as interesting as #3, but this is totally the type of movie meant to be seen on the bigscreen. I'm holding out hope that the rumors are true and they decided to cut the campy stuff and this one will be grittier / skewed more towards an adult audience?
