After the big dissapointment that THE GREEN HORNET was, this year cinema has a great deal of options which can take away the bitter taste that film left us.
RANGO (USA Release Date: March 18th). Starring: Johnny Depp, Alanna Ubach, Abigail Breslin, Isla Fisher and Alfred Molina. Dir.: Gore Verbinski. The Director and Actor duet from the saga of Pirates of the Caribbean get together in this strange and psicodelic CGI adventure. As I read, it is inspired in the journalist Hunter S. Thompson who Depp played in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. It doesn't catch my attention so much, but I consider it a good choice for this year.
SUCKER PUNCH (USA Release Date: March 25th). Starring: Emily Browning, Vanessa Hudgens and Abbie Cornish. Dir.: Zach Snyder. It would be Snyder first film that is based on an original material and not in the adaption of a comic or a remake. Judging it by its trailer, Snyder mantains his visual style which he used in 300 and Watchmen and the story seems to be interesting. I liked what Zach Snyder have done so far and this one I would see it for sure.
SCREAM 4 (USA Release Date: April 15th). Starring: Courteney Cox, Neve Campbell and David Arquette. Dir.: Wes Craven. The actors and director from the original trilogy are back to write a new chapter in the saga. Just for the lovers and followers of this saga. It's not priority number one and perhaps I would go and see it if I were really bored, or I better wait for its DVD release and some friend of mine would lend it to me.
FAST FIVE. (USA Release Date: April 29th). Starring: Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson and Paul Walker. Dir.: Justin Lin. As the previous installments, the actors of the previous ones get together and, as we can see, there would be cars, chases, explosions, beautiful girls and Río de Janeiro. Maybe I would see it, or maybe not.
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES. (USA Release Date: May 20th). Starring: Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz and Ian McShane. Dir.: Rob Marshall. With a change in the rudder, the saga of Captain Jack Sparrow changes some faces and certainly it would a box office success this year. After the dissapointed third part, there is few enthusiasm to see it although the trailer offers what made the first one a success. We'll wait and see.
THOR (USA Release Date: May 6th - Venezuela Release Date: April 28th - that waht is said on the official site). Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman and Anthony Hopkins. Dir.: Kenneth Branagh. ¿Is Kenneth Branagh directing an movie based on a comic book? is the big questions fans and followers of the Marvel famous character. The casting is well done, with Anthony Hopkins as Odin and the beautiful Natalie Portman as the hero's love interest. I trust Branagh, even though he's been out of the public eye for quite a while. I'm anxious to see it and I hope O won't be dissapointed.
KUNG FU PANDA 2 (USA Release Date: May 27th). Starring: Jean-Claude Van Damme, Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman and Jackie Chan. Dir.: Jennifer Yuh. Without any high expectations, it would be another funny animated film for a family outing, nothing else. An outing with the children.
X MEN: FIRST CLASS (USA Release Date: June 3th). Starring: James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender. Dir.: Matthew Vaughn. The reboot fever got to Marvel; following the example of the DC films, the multimedia company decided to go back with its mutant heores and it starts the story when Professor X and Magneto were friends. The director of Kick Ass is in charge which means a good omen and nice way to correct the mistake of the Wolverine movie (which would have a sequel pretty soon - I don't know why). Another sure visit to the movie theater.
GREEN LANTERN. (USA Release Date: June 17th). Starring: Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. Dir.: Martin Campbell. Martin Campbell is an efficient director who has taken to good port projects such as Zorro and the revitalizing of the James Bond saga. He knows how to handle action and humour and I trust that he makes it again this time. This is one of the films that has generated high expectations and, of course, I will be ready to see it on its release date.
CARS 2 (USA Release Date: June 24th). Starring: Owen Wilson and Larry the Cable Guy. Dir.: John Lasseter and Brad Lewis. The least admired Pixar film, but the most personal from John Lasseter surely has its sequel. This time it goes to the spies films parody area. With or without the kids, I would see it for sure and we'll see how the experiment goes.
TRANSFORMERS: THE DARK OF THE MOON. (USA Release Date: July 1st). Starring: Shia Lebouf, Rosie Huntington – Whiteley and Josh Duhamel. Dir.: Michael Bay. The form changing robots are back to do their stuff on the big screen. Beside the bad reviews, but the huge incomes, Michael is back again and shows us what it is meant to be the final chapter of the saga (although Hasbro said it would continue with the movies without Bay). We hope it would be better that second part, althoug I have no interest to see it, not even with the attraction the 3D gimmick could add (besides the additional cost it means)
HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 2. (USA Release Date: July 15th). Starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and Ralph Fiennes. Dir.: David Yates. The end of the adventures of the young wizard and his friends will arrive to the screen this summer and, of course, the attendance would be massive. The expectations are high, althougn the book fans are complaining more and more that the movies are far behind the literature source (as I only read the first book, I have no complains at all). The movie promises lots of action - more tthan the first part - and, possibly, records in the box office. A movie that have to be seen without any excuse.
