June 2011: Top 5 Anticipated Releases

May was a great month for entertainment, so we enter June with high expectations and thankfully the line-up looks set to meet them. Why? For starters, this is the month where we get the huge announcements that make video gaming history at E3, the month where Kung Fu Panda and Smallville return to the big and small screens respectively, and most of all this is the month where the Summer of Film kicks into gear...
5. GREEN LANTERN- A lesser known superhero film, DC's latest foray into comic adaptation sees Ryan Renyolds play an unlikely saviour chosen to defend a mighty race of aliens and his own planet from a rising darkness- a sleeper hit?
4. CHILD OF EDEN- Undoubtedly one of the most anticipated Kinect-compatible releases of 2011, Child of Eden is a visual spectacle, a motion controlled shooter that harkens back to the arcade days of Rez and quite possibly could get a place on Game of the Year lists.
3. TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON- This is it- the final entry in Michael Bay's epic trilogy. After the rubbish Revenge of the Fallen, no one knows quite what to expect here, but that might work in the director's favour if the finale offers some genuine surprises!
2. DOCTOR WHO- The battle for top spot this month was a hard one, and I can give no logical reason for this missing out on 1st place. What I can say is that A Good Man Goes To War should be a truly momentous episode with the reveals of why Amy's child is important, what happens to the Doctor if you set him up for war and make him angry, and most importantly the secret of River Song...
1. X-MEN: FIRST CLASS- I'll be seeing and exclusively reviewing this tomorrow, and have very high hopes that Matthew Vaughn's much hyped reboot of the dying X-Men franchise does the job right and resurrects a series of such vast potential. And do you know what? I genuinely think it will, and that's a hugely exciting prospect!
