As we move towards movie season 2013, I thought it might be fun to list my top 10 movies that I want to see this year. Here they are in descending order.
10: World War Z
A movie about a war with Zombies? Count me in, though it has fallen down my list due to a number of script rewrites and people saying that they completely changed the story from the book, but it is still a movie about a war with the undead so it sneaks in at number 10.
9: Ender’s Game
Orson Scott Card’s book finally makes it to the big screen. If falls to number 9 since I think this is a hard book to convert to a movie with all the internal monolog of Ender, plus they need to find a ton of good child actors.
8: R.I.P.D.
This is a movie about the Rest In Peace Department, a group of dead cops that move people and monsters to the other side. I am hoping that Jeff Bridges can make Ryan Reynolds tolerable.
7: Thor: The Dark Worlds
A sequel to Thor with the Dark Elves? Yes Please, and Disney/Marvel hasn’t let us down so far.
6: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
I loved the books and was caught off guard when the first movie was as good as it was. I won’t be again, and I hope they keep the quality up.
5: Man of Steel
Zack Snyder (Watchmen and The 300) and Christopher Nolan (Latest Batman Trilogy) reboot Superman. Warner Bros has a lot ridding on this, and the buzz has been very good.
4: Iron Man 3
Marvel/Disney continues to make movies I want to watch, and adding Sir Ben Kingsley as The Mandarin sounds amazing.
3: The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
Here is hoping we get to see Smaug in this movie! The Hobbit Trilogy rolls on.
2: Star Trek Into Darkness
The first J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie was better then anyone expected, and now the hype is out of control for this second one. Please, Please be good, and oh yeah it has Benedict cumberbatch in it!
1: Pacific Rim
Guillermo Del Toro, Giant Monsters vs. Giant Robots, and Idris Elba! Plus they beat the crap out of San Francisco. I can’t wait, I really need to build that time machine. I ordered all the parts I just have put it together yet.
So that is my list tell me what you think or even add your own!
A good list, hadn’t heard of R.I.P.D. before though (-2 Geek Cred.)
Yeah, and it has Jeff Bridges, which is always awesome.
