With summer just around the corner, trailers for the forthcoming Summer Blockbusters are coming in thick and fast (thank you SuperBowl). Ok, so this year is no 2012 - with films like Dark Knight Rises, The Amazing Spiderman, Star Trek 2, The Wolverine all set for summer releases. But lets not waste a year of our lives swooning after films that will inevitably let us down, and look at the brightside of this year's crop.I've highlighted 3 films that might actually be half decent.
1. X-Men: First Class
Release: June 2011
Decent because: James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender look on top form for playing the young Xavier and Magneto.
Worrying because: January Jones recently admitted the film was way behind schedule. Lets hope it's not of Apocolypse Now proportions.
Best trailer moment:
Trailer score: 8/10
Inevitable score: 6/10 - A rushed shooting schedule and multiple writers = not good.
2. Captain America: The First Avenger
Release: July 2011
Decent because: I secretly love Chris Evans. His good:bad film ratio is appalling, yet he still makes a film 1.7x more watchable.
Worrying because: The barrage of American patriotism that is bound to shoved down our throats. Like Spiderman 3.
Best trailer moment: Flamethrowersss. Awesommmme.
Trailer score: 7/10
Inevitable score: 7/10 - a strong premise and cast will make this a solid blockbuster.
3. Super 8
Release: June 2011
Decent because: As much as I don't want to admit it, J.J. Abrams does spin a good yarn (although I still protest Lost is the worst thing to happen to TV since Big Brother)
Worrying because: The trailers so far haven't exactly enticed me. Do we really need another War of the Worlds?
Best trailer moment: No Aliens in sight. Lets hope they're more convincing than Indy 4.
Trailer score: 6/10
Inevitable score: 8/10 - Abrams has undoubtedly got some interesting tricks up his sleeve.
