It91裸聊视频檚 going to rain genre movies in 2019. That91裸聊视频檚 bad for movie critics who only like talky dramas, but great for popcorn-loving plebes who apparently don91裸聊视频檛 know any better. There are too many to even list, so let91裸聊视频檚 just look at the top 20 comics, sci-fi, horror, and animation movies of 2019, in reverse order of my enthusiasm.
20) Terminator 6 (Nov. 1):
The last couple of 91裸聊视频淭erminator91裸聊视频� reboots were so awful they soured me on the franchise. But this unnamed movie will ignore every 91裸聊视频淭erminator91裸聊视频� property after 91裸聊视频淭erminator 2: Judgment Day,91裸聊视频� which is a huge, robotic step in the right direction. And with James Cameron returning as producer, and both Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger on board to pass the torch, I feel my enthusiasm awakening 91裸聊视频攁nd becoming self-aware.
19) 91裸聊视频淛oker91裸聊视频� (Oct. 4):
I91裸聊视频檓 really interested in seeing what bizarre actor Joaquin Phoenix can do with Batman91裸聊视频檚 bizarre arch-foe. The movie also stars Zazie Beetz (91裸聊视频淒eadpool 291裸聊视频�) and the legendary Robert DeNiro, which is very encouraging. The bad news is that much of The Joker91裸聊视频檚 appeal 91裸聊视频攁nd all of what makes him remotely plausible 91裸聊视频攊s that nobody is sure who or what he is. Giving him a specific, authoritative origin (which the comics have deliberately avoided) can only lessen his mystique. That seems like a dumb thing to do.
18) 91裸聊视频淢en In Black: International91裸聊视频� (June 14):
This concept has moved so far beyond its origins at tiny Aircel Comics in 1990 that it can safely be called its own animal. But Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones may have already said all that can be said with it. Still, with a cast that includes Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie) and Liam Neeson (Qui-Gon Jinn), it should be thoroughly watchable.
17) 91裸聊视频淭he Crow Reborn91裸聊视频� (Oct. 11):
Wow, there have been a lot of bad Crow movies. But there91裸聊视频檚 nothing like a good revenge fantasy, which is what The Crow has always been, dating back to its inception at Caliber Comics in 1989. It91裸聊视频檚 a can91裸聊视频檛-miss concept (unless they miss).
16) 91裸聊视频淚t: Chapter Two91裸聊视频� (Sept. 6):
There have been a lot of bad Stephen King adaptations, too. But the $700 million the first chapter raked in worldwide says 91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频� isn91裸聊视频檛 one of them. This movie adapts the second half of King91裸聊视频檚 novel, with the kids of the first part now all grown up. They91裸聊视频檙e played by the likes of Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy and Bill Hader, plus Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise, so there91裸聊视频檚 going to be a lot of star power up there on the screen.
15) 91裸聊视频淏rightburn91裸聊视频� (May 24):
The idea of evil Supermen, even evil Superboys, has been old hat in the comics for decades. Heck, even 91裸聊视频淪uperman II91裸聊视频� had a drunk, unshaven Superman in a dirty costume. But what about a bad Superbaby? That91裸聊视频檚 the premise of this movie, answering the question 91裸聊视频渨hat if that cute, super-powered tyke arriving in a rocket is a bad seed?91裸聊视频� It turns heroism into horror, a genre-bender that treads new ground.
14) 91裸聊视频淜ingsman 391裸聊视频� (Nov. 8):
There are all sorts of rumors swirling around what this movie is about. One possibility is that it91裸聊视频檚 a prequel, which would be terra incognita. Another is that it will constitute the third part a trilogy, bringing closure to the Eggsy-Harry Hart relationship (played by Taron Egerton and Colin Firth, respectively). Or it could be a musical. OK, probably not. The point is: We don91裸聊视频檛 know. But since I enjoyed the first two installments, I91裸聊视频檒l probably enjoy whatever this is. (Unless there are show tunes.)
13) 91裸聊视频淭he Kitchen91裸聊视频� (Sept. 20):
The original 8-issue miniseries of the same name, published in 2014 by Vertigo, DC Comics91裸聊视频� mature readers line, was a fascinating story about three mob wives who turn to crime to pay their incarcerated husbands91裸聊视频� debts 91裸聊视频攁nd how joining 91裸聊视频渢he life91裸聊视频� changes them. This movie stars Elisabeth Moss, Tiffany Haddish and Melissa McCarthy in the three principal roles, so it could even be better than the source material.
12) 91裸聊视频淭he Addams Family91裸聊视频� (October 11):
One reason my younger self loved 91裸聊视频淭he Addams Family91裸聊视频� TV show more than 91裸聊视频淭he Munsters91裸聊视频� was because the former, every once in a while, gave a hint of the vicious black humor of the original Charles Addams cartoons that appeared in 91裸聊视频淭he New Yorker.91裸聊视频� Since this animated movie is based directly on those cartoons, we91裸聊视频檙e getting Addams91裸聊视频� delightful venom straight from the source 91裸聊视频攁nd my inner 12 year old is thrilled.
11) 91裸聊视频淎lita: Battle Angel91裸聊视频� (Feb. 14):
Movies based on manga (Japanese comics) have an awful track record in the U.S., and there91裸聊视频檚 no reason to believe this one will buck the trend. But the original comics are awesome, the concept 91裸聊视频攁 post-apocalyptic cyborg warrior 91裸聊视频攊s cool, the special effects look amazing, plus Christoph Waltz and Jennifer Connelly are on hand. Here91裸聊视频檚 hoping.
10) 91裸聊视频淕lass91裸聊视频� (Jan. 18):
91裸聊视频淯nbreakable91裸聊视频� had comics fans feeling smug, because we knew the color code director M. Night Shyamalan was using to give us advance tips on the characters before the script did. (Hint: Superheroes generally wear primary colors, whereas villains favor purple, green and orange.) Shyamalan91裸聊视频檚 stock fell for a while, before being rescued by 91裸聊视频淪plit.91裸聊视频� Now comes 91裸聊视频淕lass,91裸聊视频� which is a sequel to both movies, heretofore unrelated. That91裸聊视频檚 some trick, M. Night.
9) 91裸聊视频淕odzilla: King of the Monsters91裸聊视频� (May 31):
I hear there are some people who don91裸聊视频檛 love Godzilla, and didn91裸聊视频檛 spend Saturday afternoons in their youth thrilling to the sight of men in rubber suits trampling tiny models of Tokyo. I don91裸聊视频檛 understand such people. That91裸聊视频檚 like hating pizza, or kittens, or sex. Well, it takes all kinds. And my kind of person will be front and center for this updated take on the Big G, Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah. Given today91裸聊视频檚 special effects, this sequel to 201491裸聊视频檚 91裸聊视频淕odzilla91裸聊视频� should be quite a show. (Although I confess some part of me will miss the rubber suits.)
8) 91裸聊视频淪hazam!91裸聊视频� (April 5):
It91裸聊视频檚 a joy to see the original Captain Marvel 91裸聊视频攜es, that was his name when he was introduced in 1940 91裸聊视频攇iven his due. Now maybe people will better understand those vague memories swirling around the collective unconscious about this guy, who sold as well as Superman in the 91裸聊视频�40s. Anyway, this is the story of a boy who is given a magic word from a dying wizard that turns him into an immature, but genial, super-powered adult. Now called Shazam, this light-hearted character is the perfect antidote to the grimdark grimness of movies like 91裸聊视频淏atman v Superman.91裸聊视频�
7) 91裸聊视频淭he New Mutants91裸聊视频� (Aug. 2):
This next generation group of X-Men, introduced at Marvel Comics in 1982, had some pretty strange, non-superhero-ish adventures. One was a straight-up horror show titled 91裸聊视频淭he Demon Bear91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频攁nd that91裸聊视频檚 what we91裸聊视频檙e getting in this hero/horror hybrid, which stars Anya Taylor-Joy (91裸聊视频淭he Witch91裸聊视频�), Maisie Williams (91裸聊视频淕ame of Thrones91裸聊视频�), Charlie Heaton (91裸聊视频淪tranger Things91裸聊视频�) and Rosario Dawson (the Marvel/Netflix shows).
6) 91裸聊视频淒ark Phoenix91裸聊视频� (June 7):
This movie promises a more faithful adaptation of the famed X-Men story 91裸聊视频淭he Dark Phoenix Saga91裸聊视频� than the mess we saw in 91裸聊视频淴-Men: The Last Stand.91裸聊视频� It91裸聊视频檚 also probably the last X-movie before Disney reboots the franchise, so this is probably the last X-dance for Sophie Turner as Jean Grey, James McAvoy as Charles Xavier, Michael Fassbender as Magneto and Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique.
5) 91裸聊视频淗ellboy91裸聊视频� (April 12):
The two movies directed by Guillermo del Toro, which starred Ron Perlman as the demonic hero, were perfectly enjoyable films. But they weren91裸聊视频檛 really Hellboy. This new version, starring David Harbour (91裸聊视频淪tranger Things91裸聊视频�) promises to be more faithful to the comics, so that movie viewers can see why comics fans have loved Hellboy for so many years.
4) 91裸聊视频淐aptain Marvel91裸聊视频� (March 8):
Yes, it91裸聊视频檚 Marvel91裸聊视频檚 first female-led superhero movie. Yes, it91裸聊视频檚 Marvel91裸聊视频檚 first period-piece superhero movie. But is it good? I91裸聊视频檓 hoping for 91裸聊视频淲onder Woman91裸聊视频� good, but I91裸聊视频檒l settle for 91裸聊视频淎nt-Man91裸聊视频� good.
3) 91裸聊视频淪pider-Man: Far From Home91裸聊视频� (July 5):
Tom Holland made us fall in love with Peter Parker all over again in 91裸聊视频淐ivil War91裸聊视频� and 91裸聊视频淗omecoming.91裸聊视频� Bring on Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) and the popcorn!
2) Star Wars Episode IX (Dec. 20):
The last Star Wars movie got a lot of hate, and I for one have no idea why. But maybe it shook the powers that be, because 91裸聊视频淪tar Wars91裸聊视频� mastermind J.J. Abrams himself returns to direct this (unnamed) installment, which should conclude the storyline starring Rey (Daisy Ridley), Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), Finn (John Boyega) and Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac).
1) 91裸聊视频淎vengers: Endgame91裸聊视频� (April 26):
There91裸聊视频檚 not a lot to say about this movie, because we know so little. But evidently we don91裸聊视频檛 need to know anything, because 91裸聊视频淓ndgame91裸聊视频� is already setting records for trailer views and advance ticket sales.
That91裸聊视频檚 my top 20. And for movie critics, I91裸聊视频檓 sure there will be a talky drama or two.
