So, as you might have noticed, this is a bit of an opposite of my top things, but what I’m looking forward to and what I hope will be awesome. So, I’m just going to limit myself to five (or so), and to be fair, I’m probably going to see 2-3 in theaters, but what are some 2020 movies that I really want to see.

Black Widow – It’s a Marvel movie, I want to see it. Now, I feel like Black Widow is probably coming out too late and the first trailer looked cool but didn’t tell me any story. But it’s the first movie in Phase 4, and I’m itching for more Marvel. I was wondering after Endgame if I wanted a ton more Marvel movies (the answer was always yes) but now with the time between Black Widow and Spider-Man: Far From Home, I’m so ready.

Eternals – What, the other Marvel movie made my list, who would have thought. I’m looking forward to Eternals even more than I am Black Widow and I have even less of an idea of what sort of story they are going to tell. The cast looks cool and the Neil Gaiman trade that I’ve read was really interesting. I’m wondering if this is going to set-up something more cosmic or earth focused, and will we get a trilogy of Eternals movies? There’s so little that I know, but I know I’m really excited for this movie.

Sonic The Hedgehog – I don’t know why, but I really am interested in this movie. Some of it was because the first trailer the Sonic looked like a trainwreck with teeth, and the new Sonic looks fun. I think this is going to be a dumb silly movie, and knowing that, I think it’s one that I might enjoy. Now, I won’t go see this in theaters, I just don’t have time, but when it comes out, I’m renting it. Jim Carrey looks over the top, and in a movie about a Sonic Hedgehog, that’s perfect. There’s something just really interesting about this movie for me.

Artemis Fowl – This movie was pushed back, it’s a bad sign. But the first book, which I read for the first time this year, was a lot of fun. I like the evil genius kid character. I like the magical world that is set-up as well. It’s not too serious, but it does a good job of also not dumbing down the plot so that it’s just a dumb kids book. With the movie, I don’t have a ton of faith that they won’t have dumbed it down, but if they keep it simply to what’s done in the book, it could be a really cool movie. Maybe if it gets glowing reviews I’d go see it in the theaters, but probably one that I’ll watch when I can rent it.

Bill & Ted Face The Music – Keanu Reeves.

Okay, I’ll give more of a reason than that, I guess. But really it’s because of him and his resurgence in the movie world. I think that the rest of the stories in the Bill & Ted world have been a lot of fun, and this looks like a silly dumb movie, like the originals, and I’m all for that. I’m hoping that they don’t change up the formula that has worked well for them, and beyond that, don’t know or care to know much more about the film. I’ll just enjoy in the fun that it has.

Godzilla vs Kong – Now, this one might have been pushed back into 2021, but the list I’m looking at still has it in 2020. But Godzilla fighting King Kong, may the best monster win, and I’m assuming they are going to team up to take down some other monster. I haven’t seen Godzilla: King of the Monsters yet, but that’s high on my list of movies to watch, and I don’t care if it’s great, and same with this movie, I don’t care if it’s great, I just want to see it. Give me monsters fighting, and I’ll be happy enough.

Dune – I feel like this is either going to be good or a train wreck, I don’t know with the story that happens in the book if it’s going to be possible to make an amazing movie from it. But I’m so curious about it. This is a movie that I might make it to the theaters to see, just because, even with my projector set-up at home, Dune feels like a big enough story that I might want to hear it with the best sound possible.

So, what films are you looking forward to. I skipped over James Bond, just am not as interested in that, and Wonder Woman 1984 is definitely interesting and I love Max Lord as a character, but DC has to prove they can turn out several good movies, and with Birds of Prey looking bad, I doubt I’ll care that much about Wonder Woman 1984.
