Which, if it sounds a lot like <em>Zootopia,<\/em> that&#8217;s the reaction I have every time I see the trailer, which is cute, but not enough to really motivate me.<\/li>\n<li><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0439572\/\"><strong>The Flash<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>&#8211; You might be confused if you thought this was a Batman movie at first. Or &#8230; multiple Batmans. Batmen. Or maybe Superman, er, Superwoman. Fighting Zod. Oh, yeah, the Flash is in there, too, and supposedly it&#8217;s his movie. Oh, and there&#8217;s a bunch of Flashpoint stuff in here, too, the series that really screwed up the DCU and the Flash, and which Warner Bros. hopes will unscrew-up the DCEU, or whatever they are calling their movies these days. Also, Flashpoint was done on the\u00a0<em>Flash<\/em> TV series, and a number of DC animated movies, and can we <em>please<\/em> move on from this storyline? Unlikely to go to this, even without considering the Ezra Miller drama.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt10545296\/?\"><em><strong>Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes<\/strong><\/em><\/a> &#8211; I&#8217;m not sure who thought the idea of a HG prequel was a good one, and whether they are any more clueless than whoever thought this was a title that would attract an audience. This is the movie I am least likely to see this year.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt5433140\/\"><em><strong>Fast X<\/strong><\/em><\/a> &#8211; If this were a series I watched, I would probably be highly interested in it. As it is not, I am not. At all.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt15239678\/\"><em><strong>Dune, Part 2<\/strong><\/em><\/a> &#8211; I have heard plenty of admiring things about the first one, except that it all seemed to be a setup for the second one. So maybe once the dust settles on the second one, I&#8217;ll do a <em>Dune<\/em>-a-thon weekend with the two new movies, the classic Lynch, and the Syfy mini-series. Or maybe not.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1462764\/\"><em><strong>Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny<\/strong><\/em><\/a> &#8211; I am seriously jonesing (ha!) to see this. Yes, I was burned by the\u00a0<em>The Kingdom of the Glass Skull<\/em> (which, to be fair, had a much better title than this one), but the Indy series is clearly in a &#8220;odd movies good, even movies bad&#8221; cycle, so we should be due for a final hit.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt10676048\/\"><em><strong>The Marvels<\/strong><\/em><\/a> &#8211; The most predictable trailer for the set (hello, MCU!), but, y&#8217;know, I am so there for this. I like the three title characters, I like the quantum entanglement that gives them an immediate problem to resolve, and I like that we don&#8217;t know much more than that right now. Plus I want this to succeed to spite the fanboiz who hate these three characters for a variety of disturbing reasons.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So &#8230; 2 out of 7.
