The title would be a bold statement, I'll admit, but believe me, next year's line-up of films is already shaping up to be one of the biggest and altogether grandest yet. The specific reason for this possible accolade can be summed up in one word: sequel. 2011 looks to be the year of the sequel (overtaking such clichéd titles as the year of the dog- oh wait, that may have another meaning), and below are just a few examples of why that can be nothing but a good thing...
CARS 2- Wait, stop laughing! Despite everything, the original Cars film by Disney Pixar was a strong contender for the best animation of 2006 with the introduction of Owen Wilson as Lightning McQueen and Larry 'The Cable Guy' as the hilarious Mater. Sure, it won't perhaps hit the same brilliant heights as Toy Story 3, but the talking cars' returns are nothing less than welcome.
THOR, CAPTAIN AMERICA: If these two unique super-hero flicks seem odd choices, they aren't- Thor and Captain America will continue the recent trend by Marvel Comics of introducing Avengers characters and forming a team for that comic adaptation in 2012. As the strands of this multi-franchise arc draw together, things can only get better!
DIARY OF A WIMPY KID 2- The original Diary Of A Wimpy Kid adaptation was a hit with the younger audience, and its sequel will release in March next year (the films are currently being shot back-to-back). Though this won't appeal to seasoned viewers, the first film showed a clear sign of a strong franchise to develop with potential.
HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS- PART TWO: We are about to get the first part in the finale to this epic series on November 19th, 2010 but everything will go crazy as the final ever Potter movie hits cinemas in July 2011! We've no idea where the book will be split and what cliff-hanger awaits us next month, but expect a masterpiece!
