Top 10 summer movies 2013

Written by: KDA

Ah the summer. What a wonderful time of year. Beautiful weather, no school and happy times.
Best thing is, when summer arrives, blockbuster movies come along with it.
MARK MY WORDS, this summer is going to be HUGE for the movie industry. Here are my top 10, most highly anticipated movies of the summer.


10- Monsters University (June 21)

Its unclear exactly how long before Monsters Inc that Monsters University is set, but it'll see Mike and Sully meeting for the first time in college. Billy Crystal and John Goodman are reprising their voice roles, with Dan Scanlon directing. This film has 'massive hit' stamped all on it.

 9- Despicable Me 2 (July 9)

"Despicable Me" was an all around, great movie. This one looks amazing as well. Unsurprisingly, in the teaser trailer, the role of the minions is already being played up, and by choosing a big, bold summer spot, Universal might just have pole position here.

8- After Earth (June 7)

The movie is After Earth, a mix of science fiction and action, in a post-apocalyptic environment, which sees Smith appearing alongside his son, Jaden.  I suggest that After Earth may be a movie worth keeping your eye on. 

7- The Hangover-Part 3   (May 24)

This isn't a trailer of the movie, just an inside look. But who needs a trailer in order to know how good it's going to be. Anything associated with the "Hangover" is a sure-blockbuster hit. If this one goes over well, be prepared for a "Hangover Reunion" in the next 10 years or so. 

6- This is the End   (June 14)

This movie looks absolutely hysterical! The lineup of cast members in this sets the bar for the summer for comedy films. Alot of movies this summer are taking on the Apocalypse theme, but this one sure does take the cake for me. It’s about a pair of guys who fake the world ending, and amongst the names appearing are Danny McBride, Jonah Hill, James Franco and Rogen himself. Comedy Gold....

5- Star Trek 2: Into Darkness (N/A)

If your a die-hard fan of Star Trek, then this should be your #1 movie you must see this summer. JJ Abrams is back with another action-packed film. Plot details are thin on the ground, and the production is being kept as secret as possible thus far. Expect the movie to be a smash hit and a half, though.

4- Iron Man 3   (May 3)

Iron Man was incredible. Iron Man 2 was a step down from the original. I expect Iron Man 3 to knock the ball out of the park. As the first Marvel film post-The Avengers, it'll be interesting to see just where and how it picks things up... Expect big things from this movie.

3- Pacific Rim  (July 11)

Monsters fighting robots...what's not to love? There hasn't been a monster movie since Godzilla, and I am really looking forward to this one. It’s a big science fiction blockbuster. Everyone must see this.

2: Man of Steel  (June 14)

Superman is always a hit. It takes Superman back to his roots, with Henry Cavill donning the blue tights this time around. It’s already being set up as the film to beat in the summer of 2013. Fingers crossed that this Superman reboot works a bit better than the last…Superman Returns was nothing more then an OK movie. MAN OF STEEL.

1- World War Z   (June 20) 

This was a tough one... as Man of Steel could of easily took the #1 spot on this list. However, my guts told me I had to give World War Z the spot.It’s one of the most genre-specific blockbusters of the season, but the presence of Pitt should help put some bums on seats. It’s set in a post-apocalyptic, zombie-ridden time, and the film is already in post-production. It’s also planned to be the first of at least three movies, although Paramount will have to flex its muscles to sell this one. 

Brad Pitt + Zombies = Huge Success

Those were my top 10 movies for the summer. Feel free to comment below if you disagree.
