Here is a quick look at the films I plan to see in May:
Iron Man 3 (5/3/13)
The first one was great. The second one was ok. I think Ben Kingsley's Mandarin should help the third outing be almost as good as the first.
The Great Gatsby (5/10/13)
Confession: I have not read F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel on which this film is based. However, I do know that director Baz Luhrmann knows how to make beautiful, complex films, and Gatsby looks to excel in both categories. What's yet to be seen is whether the adaptation can make a profit on its estimated production budget of $127 million.
Star Trek Into Darkness (5/17/13)
JJ's long awaited sequel to 2009's Star Trek. On my birthday. Now if only we knew the true identity of Benedict's villain...
Epic (5/24/13)
An interesting premise where a young girl gets pulled into a fantastical miniature forest world (possibly her backyard?) in order to help the leafmen defeat the forces of evil. I'll take this over this day's other releases any day.
After Earth (5/31/13)
Unlike most people, I still have some faith in Shyamalan, even after critical duds Lady in the Water, The Happening, and The Last Airbender. Maybe I'm just blinded by the post-apocalyptic science fiction plot, but I'm definitely interested in seeing this one.
Now You See Me (5/31/13)
Not-Michael Cera, The Hulk, Tallahassee/Haymitch, the captain from Prometheus, The Voice of God, and Alfred Pennyworth star in a magic show/bank robbery heist thriller. Count me in.
I'm sure you can tell which of these I'm looking forward to the most, so which of May's releases are you most excited about?
