#4 - Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens
There is nothing wrong with this lightsaber. |
The next entry to the Star Wars franchise arrives exactly one decade after Revenge of the Sith was released in June 2005. With a new batch of characters combined with a few members of the original cast from the 70s, The Force Awakens will set the story out on new path that has yet to be fully unveiled. Many fans may miss this future plot teases due to endless whining over the above lightsaber design, but hey, what can you do. The trailer looks as gripping and action packed as previous installments, and with J.J. Abrams directing after his masterful work on the Star Trek series, the project is in perfect hands and should be as brilliant as the sensible fans hope it will be.

#3 - Avengers: Age of Ultron
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is an absolute powerhouse of a franchise, and soon will surpass Harry Potter as the highest grossing one in the entire industry - though Potter managed to impressively achieve this goal with eight films, whereas Age of Ultron will be the eleventh addition to the series. The name sounded a bit iffy upon announcement, but when the first trailer was revealed - my opinion swifly changed. Disney incoporated a gleefully creepy and strangely fitting rendition of I've Got No Strings from 1940's Pinocchio, which Ultron references as he walks toward the camera with an absolutely terrifying leer from his robotic red eyes. It looks both epic and extremely dark, as shown by one simple shot of Captain America's invincible shield broken in half in a pile of rubble, and so I'm extremely excited for the direction it will take.

#1 - Spectre
The James Bond franchise entered a new level success when Skyfall grossed
$1.1 billion back in 2012-2013, and now the 24th entry to the longest
running film series in history is set to enter cinema screens this winter. Daniel Craig will reprise his role as Bond yet again, taking on a
sinister terrorist organization known as SPECTRE, though as of now we
know little else about the plot. Christoph Waltz will play the latest
villain, a generic but still ideal choice, and the remainder of Skyfall's superb cast will also return to star in Spectre.
Being a Bond film and a follow up to Skyfall is more than enough to get me overly hyped for this. Let's do it.
