New trailers just dropped for movies being released next year. Later I’ll post a full list of my most hotly anticipated movies and series for next year.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts
I found myself really excited by this video. I checked out of the Transformers franchise after the first two films because they just became increasingly awful to watch. Michael Bay was definitely getting on my nerves, but the franchise regained my attention with Bumblebee, consequently, that’s now my favorite character.
Admittedly, I was not there for the Beast Wars saga, so I don’t know much about it, because I was elsewhere doing other things. I heard about it, though. I know only a handful of characters in this movie (Mirage and Optimus Primal) but not who else. Still, the nostalgia factor is pretty big with this one and it was really nice to see so many grown-ass men being childishly excited about this movie on YouTube! The trailer looks really good. Hopefully, the creators can keep the momentum they began with Bumblebee. Will I go see it in the theater? Idk. It depends on what else is being released that month because June is a lot!
Yeah, Optimus Primal is being voiced by none other than Ron Perlman.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
This movie’s nostalgia factor hit me pretty hard. I probably will not go see this movie, not because I don’t love Indy but because there are three other movies coming out in June I want to see, and this one falls low on that list. I do not have limitless movie theater money, so Indie, I’m afraid, is going to lose. Sorry Indy, I will wait for it to reach streaming services.
This looks really exciting though and if you guys go see it, write something down, tell us all about it.
Guardians of the Galaxy 3
I’m really looking forward to this movie. I enjoyed the last move and the holiday special a lot, and I like spending time with this group of goofballs. There’s not really a nostalgia factor here but it will be interesting to get rocket’s backstory, and it’s nice to see Gamora (or at least an alternate-universe version of her) again. I’m still not a fan of Chris Pratt (he is after all the least likable Chris) but his acting isn’t bad, and he’s not so awful I cannot tolerate him in a film with a bunch of other great and funny characters.
Elemental
I really, really, liked this trailer which is a great introduction to this world and its rules. I’m not really into the forbidden romance angle of the story, but I do like the easy Jazz music of the teaser. Everyone who saw this trailer was quick to point out how she is the only Elemental on the train who is made of fire and noting the different interactions between the Elementals. So the creators have already set up how these characters interact, have both negative and positive effects on each other’s existences, and why the fire elementals might not be included. I’m probably not going to the theater to see this one though because…Summer.
Cocaine Bear
This is one of those ridiculous comedies that get released every few years. This one is about a bear that gets high on a stash of cocaine that some criminals lose in the woods, and I’m not going to see this but Hey, if this is your bag, go for it!
Remember the Beast Wars Cartoon, computer generated shows were all the rage at the time, man those were the days! Super surprised they are taking the franchise in the more obscure beast wars direction but imma be there for it. Huge Indy fan as well, catch the Thanksgiving marathon on cable every year (last month included)! MCU is a huge deal for me, comics were always what I was reading, & the cartoons were what I was always watching growing up. If it’s Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Superheroes, Horror, Fantasy, or SciFi it’s an ENORMOUS part of my life. Those & Music, I was actually a Jazz Studies Major @MSU so I dig ur comment bout the Jazz in the Elementals trl!
Happy Belated Thanksgiving & Happy Holidays ya’ll! ✊🏽✌🏽
