2016! The Year of Movies!

2015 was, without a sliver of doubt, A Huge year for Movies! We, the fans, got a lot of good movies to watch and the Moviemakers made bucket loads of money. How much money? Well, A LOT of Money. Think about it, For the first time in history, Five Movies grossed more than A Billion Dollars in a single year! The Last Movie of 2015 to cross the Billion-Dollar Mark, also was the one that earned the most.

Now as 2015 has gone and we have just entered 2016, it’s very likely that we have entered a year that could very well prove to be “THE BEST” year for the movies. Having said that, I must also state that When I say best year, I’m not saying in terms of the artistic achievement and breakthroughs. It’s purely based on the fact that this year will, for sure, be a year that will keep coming at us with One Blockbuster after Another. And fans of every single Genres can be assured that they will have something to enjoy.

If you look at the release calendar of the year and make a list of all the movies that are most awaited and are set to set the Box-Off you will see one common thing, We Know Them! Yes! One way or another we know their stories or their ideas. Think about it, We Know Man of Steel who will face our Dark Night. We know our Captain America. We even know Dory and how she forgets. And the ones that are new, we know either know the fictional world/universe they come from or what they are.

Take for example the fact that We don’t know how will Jared Leto’s Joker will be. But we know he is Joker after all, and that is sufficient in itself. You can say we don’t know Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, but we know Hogwarts and all their Houses will be there to help us. We don’t know who the hell Rouge one is but we know they will for sure be in a Galaxy Far Far Away.

For the sake of simplicity The Major movies of the year can be categorized in Three categories. Below are the Categories and My picks from each of them.

1 : Movies based on Comic Characters:

These are basically Marvel & DC Movies.  Coincidently or not, both of the studies will have their Superheroes fighting against each other in their Main Ventures. As we all know Batman will face off Superman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Captain America will be doing the same with Mr Stark in Captain America: Civil War.

While Marvel & DC are busy pitting their heroes against each other, 20th Century FOX has decided to pit their heroes against the First Mutant in X-Men: Apocalypse. Judging by the trailers this one as well as Deadpool seems to be Awesome. We’ll also meet Gambit, Suicide Squad and Doctor Strange.

On a little lighter side we’ll have The Adventures of Tintin: Prisoners of the Sun

My Pick :  Batman vSuperman: Dawn of Justice

2. Reboots, Sequels & Prequels :

Hollywood has never shied away from any opportunity to cash-in on a by making sequels/prequels and reboots. The only way this year is different is in the way that studios are more aggressive. This year we’ll have sequels, prequels and reboots everywhere. The first name that should be on this list is no doubts Ben-Hur, the Legendary classic. Aftre this list is very long. Ghostbusters, Jumanji, Independence Day: Resurgence, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Kung Fu Panda 3. The list goes on and one on and on.

My Pick : Ben-Hur

And the Last Category : Adaptation: 

After achieving success in their own forms, many characters and stories are set to hit silver screen.  Adapting Books and Games into movies is not new, but this year for the first time a Movie will hit the theaters based on a mobile game! Yes The Angry Birds will hit theater this year. Also we’ll see Professor Langdon solve his way out the Inferno.

Also jumping out of Gaming consoles would be Assassin's Creed and Warcraft

Not to miss girls will be going mad for Fifty Shades of Black

My Pick : Inferno

So, in a nutshell, This year is gonna be heavy on Our pockets J
