10 Most Expected Films in 2012

I make no secret of it. One glimpse at my blog is enough to understand it. I am such a cinephile. I really love movies and I spend a lot of time watching them. My friends wonder when I have time for all these films. Well, answer is simple – when you love something, you can always find time for it.

But today we're not talking about my hobby. I've decided to share my knowledge and to introduce to you new films of 2012 worth watching. But before proceeding, I should warn you that the list of films is based on my tastes and my considerations what a good film is only. And it is worth mentioning that I prefer actions, comedies, fantastics and superhero films.

So, everybody warned, here is the list:

1. I already made a post about The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and if you have not yet seen it, that's your omission, 'coz the film is really great, the cast is great, David Fincher is great! It is on now, so hurry up!

2. The most anticipated movie of 2012, according to a US poll, the big screen adapation of Suzanne Collins' novel, one of the most favourite books of mine, The Hunger Games is to be released on March 22. I have seen all the trailers and I must say that's gonna be really fantastic! Can't wait to see what Hollywood director Gary Ross prepared for us. If you're willing to know more about The Hunger Games, welcome to my earlier post about the book.

3. The Avengers probably is the most expected film in 2012. Well, for me, of course. I love so much comics about superheroes, even more – films about them, even even more – films where they are assembled together to fight against the evil. Especilally when the evil is performed by my lovely Tom Hiddleston as Loki. Besides Loki you will find in this movie Iron man (Robert Downey Jr.), Capitain America (Chris Evans), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Hulk/Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), etc. Impresssive, isn't it? All these superheroes will form The Avengers team to help save the Earth from Loki and his various membered army. May 3 is already marked on my calendar with red colour!

4. I am so glad that nowadays Hollywood shoots a lot of films about people who made our history. That's such an opportunity to know more of their life, spending just 2 hours of your time! The Iron Lady is one of them. It offers a look at the life of Margaret Thatcher (played by Meryl Streep), the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, with a focus on the price she paid for power. Everybody says that Meryl Streep will get Oscar for this role. Worth looking what for, don't you think?

5. Skyfall is the 23rd film of James Bond series. Bond's loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost. After having watched all 22 films about Bond I can say for sure that Daniel Craig is my favourite. You may not agree with me, but that's just my opinion and I can't imagine a reason which would stop me from watching a new Bond film. Besides, the principal villain is performed by Javier Bardem. Unfortunately, Skyfall is out on  November 9. Patience, my dear, patience.

6. Jack the Giant Killeris a modern day fairy tale in which the long-standing peace between men and giants is threatened, as a young farmer Jack (Nicholas Hoult) gets his hands on the magic beans. Jack despite the admonition that the beans should never get wet mistakenly gets his beans wet and a beanstalk worth of fairytale size sprouts which lifts Jack’s home with the beautiful Princess Isabelle (Eleanor Tomlinson) along with it high above.The kingdom in which Jack lives in has been in surrounded by giants who are provoked by the giant beanstalk to start attacking Jack’s home town and Jack is pressed into a mission to rescue the princess and slay giants who come in the way. In addition to Nicholas Hoult and Eleanor Tomlinson Ewan Bremner, Ian McShane, Stanley Tucci, Ewan McGregor, Warwick Davis, Bill Nighy and Eddie Marsan are also in the cast and the film itself is out on June 15.

7. This Means War is about two top CIA operatives waging an epic battle against one another after they discover they are dating the same woman (Reese Witherspoon). Sexy Tom Hardy is fightng with sexy Chris Pine... yeah, I though that this could happen just in my dream. Can't wait till February 14 to see this with my own eyes!

8. The Amazing Spider-Man is not, as you may have thought, the sequel of film about superhero Spider-Man, but the renewal of the franchise, so you won't see Toby Maquire in it. Instead, the cast includes Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker and Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy. The film will portray Peter Parker as he is developing his super powers in high school. The Amazing Spider-Man is scheduled to be released in 3D on July 3. 

9. The Dark Knight Rises is another film about superhero, Batman, as always directed by Christopher Nolan. It stars Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, and Morgan Freeman. The film will take place eight years after the events of The Dark Knigh, the terrorist leader Bane arrives in Gotham City, pushing it and its police force to their limits, forcing its former hero Batman to resurface after taking the fall for Harvey Dent's crimes.The film will introduce the new characters of Selina Kyle and Bane — portrayed by Anne Hathaway and Tom Hardy respectively — two villains from the Batman mythology. It is to be released on July 26.

10. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is the first part of epic fantasy film directed by Peter Jackson. It is a film adaptation of the 1937 novel of the same name by J. R. R. Tolkien and a prequel to The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. The film will star Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins, a Hobbit, who journeys to the Lonely Mountain accompanied by a group of dwarves to reclaim a treasure taken from them by the dragon Smaug. Several actors from The Lord of the Rings will reprise their roles, including Ian McKellen, Hugo Weaving, Cate Blanchett, Christopher Lee, Elijah Wood and Orlando Bloom. As Tolkien works fan, I am longing to see it, unfortunately it will be out only on December 13.
