This summer is set to be a cracker – as long as each major release actually delivers. Some are predicting it will be the biggest summer of all time, and that may very well come to fruition. There will cold hard cash coming out of Hollywood’s ears! Here is my prediction of what movies will be the biggest of them all.
Your move, Mr Nolan
Four years, five movies and now the big one is finally here, and it’s literally the big one. Superhero movies with multiple heroes and villains can easily become over-plotted, convoluted messes or they can have a massive scope at the expense of story. If this movie has turned out as amazing as it has, then that makes me incredibly excited for The Dark Knight Rises later this year.
In wait of seeing The Avengers, I’ve gone over every Marvel film made by Marvel Studios because not so secretly, they are intertwined. We’ve been waiting and biting our nails with each movie that’s come, and in some of them, we’ve found the Avengers nods too much. This is my list, written in the order of least favorite, to favorite.
The senses = hit
When word first got out that a board game where two opponents tell each other coordinates was being made as a movie, we scratched our heads. When Rihanna was cast, we continued to scratch our heads. What would come next, a film adaptation of Hungry Hungry Hippos? Well, the head scratching can cease.
From District 12 these songs are indeed
Let’s face it, most soundtracks are just assortments of pop songs written to cash in on a major film release – and few soundtrack songs really shine because of this. The Hunger Games soundtrack is a refreshing exception, which feels like a unified set of songs as an album should, despite that over 15 artists have contributed to this soundtrack.
After having seen The Hunger Games twice, there are some things I would like to see improved for the sequel, even though I thought the book wasn’t as good as the original. Here are my six points of call to improve on Games for the sequel.
