December 29, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): There were handful of Hollywood movies in 2010 that delivered as expected, but hopefully 2011 will be a better year for the Hollywood movie buffs. Here is a list of 5 most anticipated films of 2011 but none of these will fall into the category of films that will make you go cerebral, rather these are mega budget, jaw-dropping larger than life films.
1. Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn Steven Spielberg has been obsessed with this iconic journalist for quite a few years now. So the Oscar winning director has joined hands with Peter Jackson to bring Herges vision into the big screen with a new kind of motion-capture-animation.
2. The Hangover (Part II) The prequel had set the mood and the audience expects nothing less from this laughing riot. This time its getting bigger with cameos made by Bill Clinton, Mel Gibson and Zac Efron and since the first part has already reached the cult status the expectation from part II is sky high.
3. Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows (Part 2) The last installment of the Harry Potter series is one of the most anticipated films of 2011. It will bring an end to the journey of the wiz-kid and his friends and the last battle promises to be thrilling and fast-paced and will get bigger with the 3D.
4. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides Johnny Depp resumes the role of Captain Jack Sparrow in search of the Fountain of Youth. However, this time though Keira Knightly and Orlando Bloom wont be accompanying him in his adventure but Penelope Cruz will be joining Depp and the film already has garnered quite hype.
5. Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol (MI-4) Tom Cruise is back as Ethan Hunt and this time Jeremy Renner will be joining him. This fourth installment of the popular franchise is one of the most awaited sequels of 2011.
However, there are many more films that are highly anticipated for one, feel free to add to the list.
