Evan Griffin’s Top 5 Most Anticipated Movies
These films are so FREAKIN’ massive in scope and size and have the reputation of franchises dependent on them, that people are even afraid of The Avengers toppling over itself. These are the movies that have the chance of crushing under their own weight, but I have hope that they breath something new and awesome into their respective franchises.
5. Terminator Genisys: The first two Terminator films, and the Sarah Connor Chronicles, are a couple of my favorite Sci-Fi creations ever made. That makes Terminator 3 and Salvation so, incredibly, disappointing. The promotions for this have been awful, from bad photoshops and an old, scrunchy Arnold inches from shouting “Get THROUGH the Choppah!”
But with cast members like Emilia Clarke and Jason Clarke, and throwbacks to the quality of T2 in the most recent trailer… I’m slowly rolling into a hope that this could be really really awesome. I hope Arnold proves me wrong on this one.
4. Jurassic World: I’ve loved Jurassic Park my whole life, but let’s face it – there’s only one good Jurassic Park movie. Between the writers of the new Planet of the Apes films, and indie director Collin Trevorrow, and new mega-star Chris Pratt with his velociraptor Entourage, it very well could make dinosaurs the coolest shit ever one more time.
3. Ant-Man: I love Edgar Wright too, he would have made the least Marvel-y Marvel movie to date. However, I’m still intrigued by Ant-Man in it’s scale being so considerably different, literally, compared to Age of Ultron or the upcoming Civil War. I can’t wait to see Paul Rudd portray a complex anti-hero like Scott Lang, I’m a fan of Corey Stoll as a performer, and I’m very interested to see what kind of writing Adam McKay and Rudd turned out in their month of reworking a script for this. People are ready to deem this as Marvel’s first misstep, and I think it would be the coolest thing if they proved everyone wrong once again, just like last summer.
2. Mad Max: Fury Road: I’m sorry, but HAVE YOU SEEN THE ROAD WARRIOR? Go watch it right now, you should be ashamed of yourself if you haven’t.
You back, yet? Ok good. Now picture George Miller doing exactly that kind of film with the possibilities available to him in 2015 and a strong cast in Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron and Nicholas Hoult. Thunderdome be damned. This could be the best movie of the year.
1. Avengers: Age of Ultron

You know why this is here. You must by hiding under a rock if you don’t know about this movie, and there’s no reason you should be afraid of it. I literally cannot contain the amount of excitement that is building within me to see Joss Whedon’s last dance with the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Be prepared for James Spader to produce dark twisted insanity as Ultron 5, The Living Automaton. And if you don’t know or care who Vision is, you certainly will when the film is over. CHOO CHOO GUYS! HERE COMES THE HYPE TRAIN!
