Most Anticipated Films of 2012-Part 1

I was talking to Mathis earlier today about movies and we were talking about how excited we are for next year's movies to come out. So, I decided to blog about some of my most anticipated films of 2012.

The Dark Knight Rises

Forget about saving the best for last, I am really excited for Christopher Nolan's conclusion to his epic trilogy. The poster recently released implies that Batman may not have a happy ending. I am aware in the comic books that Bane, the villain who will be in TDKR, breaks Batman's back at some point. I honestly can't wait to see Bane's origin story and how Batman deals with his new foe. The real question is, can Nolan top The Dark Knight?

The Avengers

Ever since I saw the ending credits scene from Iron Man regarding the "avengers initiative" I have been really excited about this movie!  Captain America, Thor, Hulk, and Iron Man....need I say more? Joss Whedon's film is going to easily be the most ambitious superhero film ever to be released. Never before have we seen so many great comic book characters in a single film! Although it is a superhero film that will have some cheese factor, there are some great actors working together in this movie. I just hope Whedon can tell us a great story while balancing out the screen time of all these awesome characters!

The Vow

Just because action films are my favorite genre doesn't mean I can't enjoy a good chick-flick every once and awhile! This film stars Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams as a married couple in love until a car accident forces McAdam's character into a coma and awakes as she forgets who her husband is. I watched the trailer for this and I honestly think this looks like a really sweet movie. It looks like a film about second chances and the thrill and happiness of falling in love. I don't usually get excited about these kinds of movies but this looks like a great date movie and I am a sucker for movies about falling in love.

Prometheus

What is this about??? All Ridley Scott has said about this film is that it takes place in the same universe as the Alien films as a team of explorers try to discover the origins of Earth. This film is very secretive as of right now and I am REALLY curious as to how it ties in with the Alien films. I love science fiction films so I am really excited about this and I am also a fan of Michael Fassbender, who stars in the film. I guess I will have to wait and see who the antagonist will be until the movie comes out. Ridley Scott is a very talented director and I eagerly anticipate this science fiction mystery.
