My speculations on movies coming out this year.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
Pros: A Jack-only adventure is sure to be fantastic.
Cons: Penelope Cruz/Might be inappropriate.
Kung Fu Panda 2
Pros: The first movie was great!
Cons: This isn't the first movie. (There's also a rumor floating around that the villain is a...peacock?)
Cars 2
Pros: It's Pixar/A pretty good plot.
Cons: None, except that I didn't really like the first one.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2
Pros: It's Harry Potter.
Cons: I really disliked part 1.
Winnie the Pooh
Pros: Who doesn't love our "silly old bear"?
Cons: It seems like Disney's grasping for straws at this point.
Captain America
Pros: A patriotic superhero is just what we need.
Cons: The chance of inappropriate content/What if they portray political ideas?
Journey 2: The Mysterious Island
Pros: I loved the first movie
Cons: The cast/The possibility it won't be that great.
The Three Musketeers
Pros: I love Alexandre Dumas's classic.
Cons: Again, the possibility of inappropriate material/What if they don't get it right?
Arthur Christmas
Pros: We need a new Christmas movie, and animated films tend to be good.
Cons: A not-so-big-production-company made it/Am I the only one who thinks this looks like Prep & Landing?
The Invention of Hugo Cabret
Pros: The book was fantastic/The casting seems pretty good so far.
Cons: They might not get the book right.
National Treasure 3
Pros: The first movies were brilliant.
Cons: What if it's not brilliant?
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
Pros: A Jack-only adventure is sure to be fantastic.
Cons: Penelope Cruz/Might be inappropriate.

Have you ever heard a movie coming out named "The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn"? It's supposedly coming out this year.
ReplyDeleteIt's adapted from some comic book like style series. I really enjoyed them.
Though I loved Journey 3D, I must say I'm not looking forward to Journey 2. A Journey movie without Brendan Fraser or Anita Briem just couldn't be the same.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know they were making a movie of The Invention of Hugo Cabret. I hope they get it right, because it is a great book.
ReplyDeleteAh, I've heard of The Adventures of Tintin. It just never really registered into my brain.I'll have to look into that.
ReplyDelete1) Pirates of the Carribean BETTER be good.
ReplyDelete2) I expect the same with Kung Fu Panda 2. And since when did peacocks become evil?
3)I'm hoping that Cars 2 is better than the first one. Much, much better.
4)Winnie the Pooh? Oh joy.
5)The Three Musketeers? AGAIN?!?!?!
6)I never knew that National Treasure was having a third movie. They better get it right.
Sorry for my lack of a proper introduction. I found this blog, and I think it's really great :)
