| Iron Man 3 sets the ball rolling for summer blockbuster movies Posted: 04 May 2013 11:54 PM PDT This year, there is an impressive list of big-budget films to attract audiences. HOLLYWOOD'S summer movie season has officially kicked off with the release of Iron Man 3, which is currently showing in cinemas nationwide. Like in recent years, there are plenty of sequels, superhero movies and adaptations to look out for, but this is not necessarily a bad thing (if Iron Man 3 is anything to go by). From the trailers, Star Trek Into Darkness looks promising, while Pixar, which has yet to do any wrong, has Monsters University to entertain us with. The Fast & Furious franchise continues life on the fast lane with movie No. 6 (May 23). At the same time, there are sequels that make us wonder why there's life after the first film – The Hangover III (May 30), Percy Jackson: Sea Of Monsters (Aug 18) and The Smurfs 2 (Aug 8). There are also first-time adaptations of comic books. R.I.P.D. (July 18), starring Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds, is about cops from the afterlife keeping Earth free from roaming dead folk; while director Guillermo Del Toro's Pacific Rim (July 11) is about a time when humankind faces an undefeatable enemy – gargantuan alien creatures. To fight back, the humans pilot huge robots. Idris Elba stars. Perhaps the most curious of adaptations is The Great Gatsby (May 16), directed by Baz Luhrmann and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire – the material and cast list are more suited for awards season. Something more "appropriate" for the summer is The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones (Aug 22), aimed at the young adult audience. This year also sees our favourite girls Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy teaming up in a cop/buddy film, The Heat (June 27). Other notable titles include Now You See Me (May 30), The Internship and After Earth (both on June 6), Turbo (July 18), Despicable Me 2 (July 3), The Conjuring (Aug 1), 300: Rise Of An Empire (Aug 8) and Kick-Ass 2 (Aug 8). |
