Best five movies this year

The Adventures of TinTin: The Secret of the Unicorn (26th October 2011)

Everybody’s favourite Belgian reporter, cow-licked hair and all, is making his way to the big screen in The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn. Thankfully veering well clear of live action, this Steven Spielberg-directed film could very well be the animation of the year. Voices are provided by Jamie Bell, Daniel Craig, Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis. Phew. Not bad.


Thor (29th April 2011)

Definitely one of the most anticipated comic book films of 2011. Thor (with the titular hero being played by Star Trek’s Chris Hemworth) will follow the rise of the legendary warrior/demigod of Norse mythology. Sneakily referred to at the end of Iron Man 2, past the credits that is, Thor will form part of Joss Whedon‘s super-tastic-hero entourage of The Avengers for 2012 and promises to be one of the biggest releases yet. Oh and Natalie Portman is in it as well. As if a blond giant wielding a massive hammer to smash enemies wasn’t enough.



Cowboys & Aliens (12th August 2011)

Cowboys. Check. Aliens. Check. Epic looking bracelet that’s actually the BFG in disguise. Double check. There isn’t too much more that needs to be said about Cowboys & Aliens other than Bond front man Daniel Craig and Professor Jones/Harrison Ford are in it. This is yet another ‘comic books turned into movies’ film that will no doubt be jam-packed full of action and given the featured picture – an intriguing story to the origin of aliens in the wild west.


Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (18th May 2011)

Johnny Depp returns as the lovable scallywag Captain Jack Sparrow, this time in search of the fountain of youth rather than just rum in the latest film in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Although it seems likely that there will be an abundance of that too. Joining him this time are newcomers to the series: Ian Mcshane as Blackbear, and Penelope Cruz, as…well presumably as a substitute for Keira Knightley’s disappearance from the franchise. Thankfully she did take Orlando Bloom with her.


Captain America: The First Avenger (22nd July 2011)
 
Falling well short of subtlety, Captain America: The First Avenger, is nonetheless is probably the biggest comic book adaptation to look out for in 2011. Chris Evans takes up another superhero mantle, previously playing the Human Torch, as the lead and is joined by Hugo Weaving, Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel “I’m-always-yelling-in-movies” Jackson. While there are an abundance of comic book adaptations due in 2011, just have another look at this list, Captain America: The First Avenger seems to be trying to set itself apart as far as story and characters are concerned – and it’s the reason it actually looks pretty darn good. That and the fact that for the next two years Joss Whedon will have a definite influence in whatever has an Avenger’s tag.
