A new year means new movies to look forward to. Of all the movies slated to come out this year, here is a list of the top five films that I'm looking forward to watching, ranging from 1 (a must watch in the theater) to 5 (meh, I'd skip it and wait for the DVD).

#1: The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Man oh man, I cannot wait for Spider-Man! I loved The Amazing Spider-Man; I can watch that film numerous times. Sure, they fucked up certain things in the first movie, such as Uncle Ben's catch phrase, but they got a lot of things right, like Emma Stone. I hope it's not going to bomb like Spider-Man 3 with the increase of the number of villains in this new sequel. The thing I am most looking forward to seeing is the new Spidey suit because, let's be honest, the previous The Amazing Spider-Man suit was kinda camp.


#2: RoboCop

When I first saw this trailer I was miffed, to say the least. I was on a week-long rant with one of my friends because we are huge—and I mean huge—RoboCop fans, but every time I watch this trailer, the more excited I am for this. Hopefully this movie will live up to the RoboCop I knew as a kid when I watched the movie with my dad back on VHS. They need to—no, must—keep the original RoboCop theme, unlike how Man of Steel did with the Superman theme.


#3: Godzilla

As a fan of the Godzilla movie back in 1998, this new trailer looks very interesting. The movie looks a lot darker than the 1998 counterpart, which is a good thing, because the only thing I didn't like about the 1998 version was the love interest aspect of the movie. I hope this film will have a lot more Godzilla and less romance.


#4: Captain America: The Winter Solider

The first Captain America movie was, in my humble opinion, shit (the only word I could think of to describe that awful movie), but this one actually looks pretty darn good. I really really hated the first Thor movie and loved the second one, so who knows? Maybe the same could happen for Captain America.


#5: X-Men: Days of Future Past

Where do I begin with this one? The only reason I wanna watch this movie is hope. Hope that they don't fuck it up, hope they will make up for mistakes with the X-Men trilogy, hope it's not all about Hugh-fucking-Jackman, and hope that it wont ruin X-Men: First Class, which in my opinion is the only X-Men movie worth watching.
