Since I did a list of most anticipated TV shows, I thought I would also list and ask your guys’ top 5 most anticipated movies for this year, 2016, with an explanation as to why.

 

 I will start by giving an honourable mention to my buddy’s movie coming out in a week (in North America anyways):

 

Deadpool

Release dates: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1431045/releaseinfo?ref_=tt_ov_inf

Probably the craziest movie I will ever see, and as such it has no specific place on my list. I am a fan of the character, the metahumor, and the series, but I am not a fan of the swearing, and most especially not the sexual content. And I am 23 years old. I am still looking forward to the movie for its unique style and the things that I liked mentioned above.

   

1) Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 

Release dates: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3183660/releaseinfo?ref_=tt_ov_inf

Harry Potter spin off that expands more on the wizarding world! For the first time, we Harry Potter fans do not really have to compare it to a book, and can just enjoy it as a general movie! It is also from the director of one of the best Harry Potter movies, Deathly Hallows Part 1! Although I have been mixed towards his other 3 Harry Potter movies, his overall style has proven that he will do more good than bad with it. Just as long as he gives us lots of magical creatures and gives the best execution that there can be with it, then the movie should be “fantastic” :) 

 

2)Finding Dory

Release dates: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2277860/releaseinfo?ref_=tt_ov_inf

 Next to Toy Story 4, it is probably my most anticipated Pixar sequel. Very excited to see what happens next in their world! As long as Pixar does not take things too far, and remembers the essence of who they are and what makes their movies great, then the movie should be fine!

 

 3) The Divergent Series: Allegiant 

 Release dates: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3410834/releaseinfo?ref_=tt_ov_inf

This 3rd Divergent movie looks like it could potentially be the best in the series yet! The movie will fundamentally expand on concepts of topian futures adding on some interesting science fiction elements not previously explored in the genre. It will also continue to dive into the depth of poignant character development that the series is so adept with. Plus, leading actress Shailene Woodely has never looked more beautiful! 

 

4) Captain America: Civil War 

 Release dates: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3498820/releaseinfo?ref_=tt_ov_inf

AKA The Avengers: Civil War as all but two of the Avengers (Thor and Hulk) will be in the movie, plus Black Panther, Ant-Man, and Spider-Man, the latter two being my two favorite superheroes! On that note, this movie would have been ranked higher on my list had Andrew Garfield remained as Spider-Man. Most people should realize that had he stayed on they would have been able to follow the comic book storyline of Civil War more closely, as it would have tied in greatly with the Amazing Spider-Man series to have him reveal his identity after all the trauma with Gwen, Harry, his parents and the new drama within Civil War itself. While I can understand why they had to reboot Spidey AGAIN, it still feels like a greatly missed opportunity. Still, its from the directors of one of Marvel’s best movies ever, Winter Solider, and as noted, continues however slightly off of their another of their best movies ever, Ant-Man. 

 

5) X-Men Apocalypse

Release dates: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3385516/releaseinfo?ref_=tt_ov_inf

Should be very interesting to see where they go with this film, with the inclusion of younger versions of the X-Men characters that we know and love from the previous movies (including the much awaited return of Nightcrawler!). The addition of new characters and promised “disaster movie”-like action not seen in the previous movies should also be neat to see.

No Batman v Superman or Suicide Squad? Or are you a true Marvel fan? xD

No not really a DC fan (though I do love The Dark Knight and did watch a bit of Flash), Marvel is just more of my style. And with Civil War, I do not really need to see Dawn of Justice because they are essentially the same movie.

Fair enough. But I don't think you should skip Dawn of Justice anyways.

I don't think anyone should skip The Divergent Series Allegiant either. The Divergent Series Insurgent was compellingly poignant and inspirational for me, helping me out of some serious issues in my life from the way that they handled the thematic material in the movie. Allegiant is promised to go even deeper with that kind of thematic material, giving a lot of thought to the kinds of things that make us up and how what we do truly defines us and defines others. "What makes us different ties us together"
