SUMMER MOVIE PREVIEW: MAY
It's that
time of year again, the time when I get all excited about the future of
film. Unfortunately I'm usually disappointed by the end of the summer. But
this year looks different! Starting May 3rd movies will really start to kick
into high gear. These are the movie's I'm most looking forward to this in May,
(in order of date, not anticipation):
May 3rd: Iron Man 3
I can't
express how happy I am that Shane Black took over as director for Jon Faveau.
Favear did a great job with Iron Man, but his genius ran out for the second one
and relied completely on Downey Jr. for its quality. Iron Man 3 looks like it's
taking the darker more intense side of the comic book movies, much like The
Dark Knight did. I have set the bar high and it looks like it could stand up to
the challenge.
May 10th: The Great Gatsby
Could
this be DiCaprio's first Oscar? It sure looks like he will be in the hunt this
year. I'm predicting that Gatsby will be nominated for at least 10 Oscars this
coming year, potentially 12. When I first watched the trailer I wasn't impressed at
all. In fact I didn't even want to watch the movie. After watching the latest
trailer in the iMax I'm so excited for it now! The Academy better not snub
DiCaprio again!
May 17th: Star Trek Into Darkness
O MY
GOODNESS!!!! This one has been at the top of my May list ever since The Hobbit
showed me the 9 minute prologue. J.J. Abrams has taken Trek and made it cool
again. No longer does Star Wars dominate the battle of space endeavors, (funny
how he's directing both of them now). Into Darkness looks like the first one
on Steroids! The 3D looks great, the story looks very compelling, and...
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH!!!!!!!!!!! You can't go wrong with the most popular actor
alive! Cumberbatch is a perfect villain and will steal this movie
away from Chris Pine. And I'm okay with that.
May 24th: Fast & Furious 6
Okay,
Fast 6 will be a great movie. It won't win any Oscars but it's going to be a
great time. This is what summer movie's are all about, a ton of action and fast
cars. I really enjoyed Fast 5 and I think Fast 6 will stay with the trend and
keep me entertained. You can't go wrong with The Rock and Vin Diesel.
May 31st: Now You See Me
Prestige
2? Or will this movie play out like Oceans 11? I'm hoping it's the latter. The
Prestige is my al-time favorite magician movie and I don't think Now You
See Me can live up to that standard. However, I do think that it can be a great
film if it tries to be more like Oceans 11. From the trailers I'm very
confident that the movie won't disappoint, but you never know any more. Every
director tries to be like Christopher Nolan and they all fail, so I'm just
hoping that Now You See Me doesn't try the same trick and that they make a
great film that is nothing like we've ever seen before. Jesse Eisenberg, Morgan
Freeman, Mark Ruffalo, Michael Caine, Isla Fisher, and Woody Harrelson...
Yeah, I'm excited! The only issue is the director, he hasn't proven himself yet
and this could be his big break!
Thanks
for reading. What movies are you most looking forward to in May, and what do
you think of my picks?
Thanks, Caleb Henry (TheCrackedNation)
