Here are the most anticipated movies of 2011 plus their release dates. You should watchout for these movies.
The Dark Knight Rises" (July 20th)
The giddy anticipation around this movie is hard to overstate. Fans ardently praised "The Dark Knight" for director Christopher Nolan's somber,
respectful take on the Caped Crusader and Heath Ledger's mesmerizing performance as the Joker; the movie is, in certain circles, considered the "Citizen Kane" of superhero movies. "The Dark Knight Rises" will be the final Batman movie for both Nolan and lead actor Christian Bale, so expect this one to be bigger, badder, and bleaker than the last. But will it have the same impact without Ledger's Joker?
The Amazing Spider-Man" (July 3rd)
As great as Sam Raimi's first two "Spider-Man" movies were, the third felt tired. Marc Webb, director of the emo indie hit "(500) Days of Summer," gives Spidey and the gang a much needed reboot, featuring Andrew Garfield as a skinnier, nervier Peter Parker.
The Hunger Games" (March 23rd)
With "Twilight" coming to an end and with "Harry Potter" wrapping up in '11, Hollywood is casting about for the next big franchise. There are high hopes that "The Hunger Games," based on the novel by Suzanne Collins, will be just that. Jennifer Lawrence stars as a 16-year-old living in a dystopic future who volunteers to participate in the most messed-up reality TV show around: teens battling to the death before live video cameras. Collins has two followup books, too, so if this flick's a hit, expect sequels.
"Snow White and the Huntsman" (June 1st)
Another sign that Hollywood is looking to cash in on the "Twilight"/ "Harry Potter" audience, there are not one but two movies based on Snow White coming out in 2012. "Snow White and the Huntsman," starring Kirsten Stewart, is more Joan d'Arc than Disney; she spends much of the movie in plate mail and, judging from the trailer, looks pretty handy with a sword. Charlize Theron also stars as the evil Queen.
"Django Unchained" (December 25th)
Quentin Tarantino killed Hitler along with much of the SS in his bizarro WWII thriller "Inglourious Basterds." For his next film, he's taking on an even touchier historical subject: slavery in the antebellum South. Dubbed "a Southern" by the director, the movie is a Spaghetti Western-style tale about an escaped slave and a German bounty hunter looking for vengeance against a Mississippi plantation-owner. The flick stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx, and Christoph Waltz. Watch for some serious pundit bloviating about the flick this time next year.
"Brave" (June 22nd)
Pixar's last movie, "Cars 2," left a lot of people underwhelmed. Thankfully, Pixar is leaving its mildly creepy world of talking cars behind in favor of the Highlands of Scotland. Merida (Kelly MacDonald), a fierce lass with a luxurious head of red hair, chafes against the obligations of being a princess when she makes an ill-fated wish. "Brave" is the first movie in Pixar's long oeuvre to have a girl as a protagonist. Between this movie, "The Hunger Games," and "Snow White," it looks like we'll be seeing a trend of female action heroes in 2012.
