The year 2019 was an amazing year for movies and big box office hits. We had Avengers: Endgame, the biggest box office hit ever. We also had Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, The Lion King, It: Chapter Two, Joker, and Aladdin. Coming soon, I'll post quick reviews of every 2019 release I saw, giving my thoughts on each of them. And now you can go to that by clicking here.
But what does 2020 hold in store for cinema? I'll rate each film on a score of 1-5, 5 being I will definitely see it, and 1 being I probably won't see it in theaters unless my friends really want to.
Dolitte: 2
As of me writing this, Dolittle is already out in theaters and I don't have plans to see it yet, so I might not. I might have to watch it after it's been released on DVD/digital.
Birds of Prey: 2
This is like a spin-off from Suicide Squad, I guess. I like Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, so I might see this. But I'm not dying to see it.
Sonic the Hedgehog: 1
I was never a huge fan of the Sonic games as a kid, although I did play them a little. This might be interesting, but something I can definitely wait to watch.
The Call of the Wild: 1
Not a movie I'm desperate to see, but Harrison Ford might have some meme-worthy quotes in this. Him as a grumpy old man is just pure entertainment to me.
Onward: 3
Tom Holland and Chris Pratt voice brothers who are trying to resurrect their dad, I think. Looks fun and heart-warming. It could go either way if I see this in theaters or not.
A Quiet Place Part II: 4
I really enjoyed the first one, and thought it set up very well for a sequel. Without John Krasinski, it won't be the same, but it'll still be with the same family. We'll probably see this.
Mulan: 3
Disney continues with its live-action remakes of their animated classics. This is one I would see, but I don't have to. I don't really like the idea of giving Disney money to urge them to make more live-action remakes, although I've done that plenty already.
No Time to Die: 4
I'm a fairly big James Bond fan, having seen all of the Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig "Bond" films (I still need to watch the older ones, especially the ones with Connery). If my friends don't want to see it, I might have to see it on my own, depending on the reviews it gets.
Black Widow: 5
I love the casting in this, from David Harbour to Rachel Weisz. This will probably be the last time we see ScarJo as Black Widow, and I'll be interested to see what connections this has to the other Marvel/Avengers films.
Fast & Furious 9: 5
I got into the Fast & the Furious series in the past couple years. I even saw "Hobbs & Shaw" last year. They return to the rest of the crew, and I'm excited to see it, even if I might have to see it on my own (again).
Wonder Woman 1984: 4
Gal Gadot kills it as Wonder Woman. From the trailer, it looks to be another well-made Wonder Woman movie. I will almost for sure see this, although I think I could wait until DVD/digital release if need be.
Top Gun: Maverick: 1
Fun fact: Top Gun (the original) is the only film I've seen in a different language. I saw it dubbed in German in my German class in high school. I don't know if I'll see this (probably not), but I'd have to watch the original in English first.
Free Guy: 5
This looks crazy, but in a good way. I hope this gets good reviews. I know of a few YouTubers who have small roles in this. I'll definitely see this, being a huge gamer myself.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife: 2
I have only seen Ghostbusters 1, the original. I didn't see any of its sequels/spin-offs. So it's a bit unlikely I'll see this, but you never know. Reviews might dictate if I see it or not.
Tenet: 4
Christopher Nolan is at it again, and how will he mess with our minds this time? I'm curious to find out. I definitely want to see it at some point, hopefully in theaters.
Bill & Ted Face the Music: 3
I really enjoyed the original Bill & Ted, so I might see this one. Hard to believe they are doing another after so many years.
The King's Man: 3
This film was originally supposed to come out in November 2019, then it was pushed to February 2020, and now it's September 2020. Those delays make me not really want to see it, despite being a fan of the first to "Kingsmen" films. There's no Colin Firth or Taron Egerton in this, so it'll be hard to relate.
BIOS: 2
It's directed by Miguel Sapochnik, who directed some of the best Game of Thrones episodes. It also stars one of my favorite actors, Tom Hanks. I might see it, might not. I'll have to see what the trailer looks like.
Halloween Kills: 3
I saw "Halloween" in 2018, so I'll probably see this at some point. Hard to believe Michael Myers keeps surviving.
Eternals: 3
It's a Marvel movie, so I will definitely see it sooner or later. There are no returning Marvel characters in this, so we'll see how it does at the box office. Also, people might have "Marvel fatigue" and not want to see a Marvel movie after Endgame. I guess this also applies to Black Widow.
Godzilla vs. Kong: 3
I've not been too impressed with the recent Godzilla movies, especially the most recent one, "King of the Monsters". But I am a big monster movie fan, so I will see this. I could pass on seeing it in theaters, though.
That's it... not that impressive of a list, to be honest. And there's not really a film I was as excited to see as Star Wars and Avengers: Endgame. But here's my top 5:
5. A Quiet Place Part II
4. No Time to Die
3. Fast & Furious 9
2. Black Widow
1. Free Guy
