This year is really a great year for movies. I will probably be going to the movie theaters more this year than I ever have before. There are many different genres of movies coming out. These are my top 5 movies I am most excited to come out this year.
Creed III (March)
I have been watching the Creed franchise since the first one. This is an amazing franchise. The other two movies have so much emotion, hard work, passion, and overall uplifting. Creed is about the son of Apollo Creed taking a career in boxing and being trained by nemesis-turned-friend Rocky. Michael B. Jordan executes this role fantastically. If you have not seen the other two, watch those before seeing this one.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie (April)
I am shockingly very excited for this movie. I know I have played Super Mario Bros and all the other Nintendo games surrounding them. This is like my childhood in a movie just like most of us. I don’t know how this movie is going to go or the plot but there are some really good actors being the voices. This movie will have Chris Pratt, Jack Black, Anya Taylor-Joy, Seth Rogen, and more. This movie could be a hit or miss.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (May)
The Guardians of the Galaxy movies have always been one of my favorite series. There is never a time I don’t watch this series and am hysterically laughing the whole time. Even though I’m pretty sure it’s not supposed to be a comedy, it does make me laugh. There are also amazing actors playing in this movie too. They are Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Bradley Cooper, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Pom Klmentieff, and more.
Fast X (May)
Where to even begin with this franchise. This has been one of the longest running franchises I have ever watched. It has so much passion, anger, family, and of course fast. These movies just hit in such a different way then most. Once you start watching them you can’t stop and you begin to feel like you are a part of their family. This has such an amazing group of actors like Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang, Ludacris, and Nathalie Emmanuel. There are also other actors like Dwayne Johnson and John Cena that have shown up in the series. Most of them have been together since the beginning of this franchise and they want to end it all together. Apparently this will be a two part finale. The plot for this has been very hush hush so it’s going to be a total surprise who this franchise will end.
The Little Mermaid (May)
Honestly I am probably most excited for this one. The Little Mermaid is one of my favorite movies and Ariel is one of my favorite princesses. I love all of the live action Disney movies. I think it brings such a different perspective to the original and it is really cool to see how they bring an animation to life. This has Ariel played by Halle Bailey, Melissa McCarthy as Ursula, Awkwafina as Scuttle, and Javier Bardem as King Triton.
These are just a few of many movies coming out in 2023. I can’t speak for everyone but I know that I will be going to the movies more often with all these great ones and more coming!
