10. The Mummy
This is a series much beloved when it had the funny Brendon Fraser and the gorgeous Rachel Weisz. Now, it has the action hero, Tom Cruise and somebody else. I am surprised this movie made into the top 10 list. But, it was either this or some other franchises I had no interest in and King Arthur. Mummy won by a cent over King Arthur.
From the trailers, it is evident that this movie will feature some high-risk stunts from Tom Cruise. I am looking forward to that. I am also interested in finding out what Universal has planned for with the Monster Universe they have been building. I am worried for this movie because it is nothing like the previous 'Mummy' movies, and I am not sure what to expect from this one. I am hoping it would not be just another 'Mission Impossible' rip-off, which is why this is at the bottom of the list.
9. War for the Planet of Apes
This is the equivalent of the Nolan 'Batman' trilogy considering the past two sequels of the 'Planet of the Apes' series. It has some good writing and a decent emotional flow making it more real world than fantasy. The prequel did very well and brings in a lot of good will for this one. The only worry should be the heavily packed summer season, which might cause few of the audiences to prioritize their weekend.
Andy Serkis returns as the CGI Caeser to face off against Woody Harrelson.
8. Cars 3
The first 'Cars' movie was surprisingly one of the best animated movies I had watched. It was funny and emotional, and we loved the cars. The second one was a big let down, as it really had nothing to do with cars being cars. I hope the producers realized their mistakes and have returned to their roots. Cars 3 trailers have been quite promising towards that end, as we see lightning McQueen returning to his races and facing new rivals, instead of solving crimes.
7. Dark Tower
Dark Tower is written by Stephen King and has been long awaited by its fans to see this epic story into its visual reel version. Dark Tower features Edris Alba as the gunslinger and Mathew McCoughnegey as the Man in Black. The cast itself is a reason for the increased anticipation for this movie. The production went through troubled times postponing the release for over a year now.
The first trailer was released recently and it has garnered positive reactions. This is one movie to watch out for.
6. Dunkirk
I'm not a world war movies fan.(Surprisingly, there are 2 of them in this list and that too on this high.) But, when the director is someone like Christopher Nolan, you can just blindly go in to the theaters.
That is just what I am doing. The trailers have not shown too much and I'm looking forward to the kind of interactions the various characters in the movie will have with each other in this dire situation. It stars Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance and Cillian Murphy.
