This topic isn't about what movies are coming up, nor is it about what movies you enjoyed the most. This topic is about movies which you were most excited to see - whether they lived up to your expectations or not.
Avengers Endgame
After the excellent Avengers Infinity War and the cliffhanger the filmmakers left us, I couldn't wait to see the sequel. It was well worth the wait and to this day it's a standard in the comic book movie genre.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Adventure (2012)
Just as Avengers Infinity War and Endgame set standards in the comic book genre, Lord of the Rings (2001-2003) set the standard for fantasy films. The third movie in that trilogy even won 12 Oscars - quite an achievement, one that only 2 other films (Ben Hur and Titanic) have rivaled. The Hobbit also is one of my favourite books, so when I heard they were making a live-action movie and it was being directed by Peter Jackson, I was pumped. Unfortunately the trilogy, while good, was not as good as I'd hoped.
The Incredibles
For an animated film, The Incredibles was, well, incredible. And we had to wait over a decade for the sequel. While I didn't enjoy Incredibles 2 as much as the original, I did enjoy it very much, and I look forward to a third installment and I hope it doesn't take another 14 years for it to come to fruition.
Back to the Future Parts 2 & 3
Back to the Future was an '80s sci-fi classic, one that everybody in my family enjoyed. I was very excited to see the sequel, and after the cliffhanger at the end of the second movie, I just had to see what happened to Doc and Marty.
Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace
I grew up with Star Wars: My dad took me to see the first movie when I was just 4 years old, and despite falling asleep in the theatre, I've watched that movie probably 30 times more since then. In addition to the movie trilogy, I played with the toys, I read the comic books, and listened to the records. I knew the movies so well I could probably quote almost every line of dialogue. Star Wars was legendary. Then... silence: there was no new Star Wars for over 15 years... Until, 1999, and it was announced there would be a new Star Wars movie. A prequel, set some 30 years before A New Hope. Well, I could not wait. I even took my dad to see it. It turned out to be not as good as the original trilogy, but I still enjoyed it and I still enjoy it to this day.
Star Wars Episode 7: The Force Awakens
If my anticipation for Episode 1 was 4/5, my anticipation for Episode 7 was 5/5, especially after I heard they were bringing back original characters- Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, R2D2, C3PO... I mean, c'mon! But... this was definitely the biggest disappointment in terms of expectations. Star Wars was never the same after that.
Ready Player One
Ready Player One is one of my favourite books of 2011, and I was super excited when I heard they were making a movie of it. The movie was okay, but it did not live up to the book.
