2011 Summer Movie Preview - May
With May right around the corner the explosion of summer movies comes with it. Last year we had many great movies hit the screen as well as some... well let’s just say duds. Movies like Inception, Iron Man 2 and Toy Story 3 didn't disappoint while Jonah Hex, The Last Airbender and Shrek fell flat. This year we have a lot of hopeful movies coming out and hopefully not too many stinkers.
To kick things off Marvel brings us its first movie out of the two they are releasing this summer with Thor. Every fanboy is excited for this film but will it have the same spirit as Iron Man or will it fall short? The casting looks pretty good but I'm more interested in the story line and how it will tie into The Avengers film coming out next year. At the end of May we have a slew of sequels coming out to end out the month. Disney is set to release Capt. Jack Sparrow's new adventure Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides on the 20th while The Hangover 2 and Kung Fu Panda 2 come out later in the month. Each of these films look promising but will they be able to hold up to their previous films?
My dark horse movie for this month is the Grindhouse-esque movie Hobo With A Shotgun. Nothing beats Rutger Hauer with a shotgun as a vigilante and a whole book full of one-liners.
Stay tuned for part 2
