Most Anticipated Films of 2012-Part 2

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 Hobbit

It's about time! I have been eagerly awaiting this movie being made as I grew up watching The Lord of the Rings trilogy. It is hard to believe that The Fellowship of the Ring came out nearly a decade ago and we are finally returning to Middle Earth. With today's modern technology, and the fact that the film is being mad in 3D, I can't wait to see the improvement in visuals. I just hope I find myself accepting all of the new characters as I have grown attached to all of the characters from the original trilogy. But with Peter Jackson's repeatedly wonderful filmmaking, I'm not too worried.

Skyfall

"The name's Bond, James Bond." Man I can't wait to hear that line again! Daniel Craig will be back as Bond next winter and I really can't wait! It is going to be a great change of pace as this film will not follow the Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace storyline. Also, Sam Mendes is taking the director's chair which is very comforting considering he has made films such as American Beauty and Road to Perdition. Along with the gritty Daniel Craig, we will see Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes playing the villains. I can't wait to see Bond's classiness and hopefully we will see some cool gadgets.

Premium Rush

This film looks like a pure adrenaline rush. Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars as a bike messenger in New York City who must deliver an important message as a corrupt cop tries to chase him down and steal the letter. Levitt is becoming a great actor and I think it is really great to see him in movies as the starring role. Some of the camera angles look really awesome and unique. This just looks like a great cat and mouse movie and I just really like Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Definitely check out eh trailer if you haven't yet!

This Means War

This movie is the classic story of how to friends fall for the same girl...except with a twist! Tom Hardy and Chris Pine play as CIA agents who fight each other over the same girl, Reese Witherspoon, who is dating both of them. I thought how it was really clever and funny to take a classic plot formula and give it a twist by having the two guys be expert killers. This gives a great excuse to have great action sequences along with some funny humor as two boys fight for the girl of their dreams. Not to mention, the 3 leads are all fantastic actors which will make the experience even more fun!
