If you go into a theatre nowadays you can no doubt find a Marvel movie playing. From its multiple franchises be it the Avengers, X-men or The Amazing Spiderman they can always be trusted to bring an entertaining and action-packed movie (I said recently; don't even mention Dare Devil or Ghost Rider). The next few movies in the Marvel franchises are as promising as ever.
The Amazing Spiderman 2 is presently in theatres and contrary to the Avengers where you get several heroes for the price of one, you get several villans. The classic Green Goblin, plus Electro and Rhino. I was originally opposed to the remaking of the Spiderman but the comedic performance of Andrew Garfeild and the more advanced special effects have changed my perspective (plus so far there hasn't been EMO Spiderman, see Spiderman 3 for reference). I Haven't been to see it quite yet but it seems promising.
Next to come to theatres will be X-men: Days of Future Past. I much look forward to seeing this next instalment tying together the original cast of mutants from X-men, X-2 and X-men: Last Stand with the new cast form the prequel X-men: First Class (a favorite of mine). I have long awaited the follow up to the original trilogie and would love some explanation to a few time parodoxs beetween the two series. Looks exciting and leaves the door open for sequels such as X-Men:Apocalypse.
Marvel is pushing the boundaries with Guardians of the Galaxy, and I couldn't be happier. There's nothing like seeing obscure heroes coming to the big screen and it's one big blow to DC comics knowing that Marvel got a superhero movie with a a talking tree and a raccoon made before it could pull together a Justice League. The team of alien fugitives protecting the galaxy from the Collecter(the guy in the after-credit screen from Thor: the Dark World) promises to be everything we've come to expect from Marvel movies and more. This summer is going to be action packed and just a little weird.
Further in the future we've got other movies to look forward to, Avengers: Age of Ultron come out a year from Tuesday, May 29 the sequel to the highest grossing movie ever made(single release). Shortly after we have Ant Man another somewhat obscure hero, I have very little information on the movie except for the fact that it comes out summer 2015 and it stars Paul Rudd. Even further in the future we have a Fantastic Four Reboot which I have absolutely no info on besides the primary cast.
What ever we movies Marvel brings to the big screen, I look forward to.With so many coming out at once it's hard to decide which to be excited about most. And DC is lucky if it gets two movies out in a year.
I am always extremely excited for all marvel movies and out of all the xmen movies, xmen first class was my favorite because it is the only one where it is actually the xmen and doesn't revolve around wolverine. (Although I do love Wolverine)
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy the Marvel movies, I must admit. They've got the formula down to a science. Just the right amount of action and comedy.
ReplyDeleteI worry about the talking raccoon though.
I have high hopes for the Batman Vs Superman and potential Justice league spinoff. I already hear various other DC heroes will be in the mix, including everyone's favourite: Aquaman!
DC does have less movies but the latest batch have been pretty high quality. Let's hope both franchises keep up the good work!
Your forgetting that you have to wait until 2016 for your Batman vs Superman whereas the latest one on my list comes out in the summer. By the time you get to your movies we will already have had avengers 2, ant man, captain America 3, doctor strange and who knows what else.
