I'm not super pumped about the summer movies coming out this year, but a few have caught my eye. I've basicly worked out a top four must ee this season have been Troy(Which I've already seen), The Chronicles of Riddick, King Arthur and Spiderman 2. Troy I thought was an above average movie and it was very entertaining from an action standpoint, but it wasn't as good as it could or should have been. With a story like The Illiad, they could have made an absolutely amazing movie, and Troy was not that.
I was a HUGE fan of Pitch Black, so I've been anticipating The Chronicles of Riddick ever since I first heard about it over a year ago. Pitch Black is one of my favorite action movies ever. I loved both of the principal characters, they were both very deep and interesting (for an action movie, at least), and I loved their interactions with each other.
Not to mention seeing Vin Diesel tear into a nocturnal alien with a futuristic version of a bowie knife is pretty fucking cool.
King Arthur I've been in love with ever since I first saw the trailer for it when I saw The Punisher(Which was directed rather poorly in my opinion, but I'll save that rant for later). I'm just praying that King Arthur is a legitimate movie that really tells the story of King Arthur, rather than some stupid battle-scene-galore flick(On that note,Jerry Bruckheimer's name scares me when it's in connection with this movie). King Arthur has the potential to be a truely great movie, I really hope the director was able to make it one.
Oh, and I want to see Spiderman 2 because it's Spiderman 2. Obviously.
