    13 Films To Get Excited For In 2013

    2012 was an exciting year for movies and it looks like 2013 is shaping up to be even better. Here are 13 of the biggest films set to hit theaters in 2013.

    1. A Good Day to Die Hard

    Starring: Bruce Willis

    Release Date: February 14

    It's been nearly six years since we've gotten a new film from Bruce Willis as Detective John McLane, but 2013 will remedy that situation with A Good Day to Die Hard. The fifth installment in the Die Hard series, the film will focus on the arrest of McLane's son and a mysterious terrorist plot. Sounds like a badass way to spend Valentine's Day.

    2. Oz the Great and Powerful

    Starring: James Franco, Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams, Rachel Weisz

    Release Date: March 8

    After a slew of fairly bland "adult" oriented fantasy films that began with Alice in Wonderland, Oz the Great and Powerful looks like it may turn that ship around. Director Sam Raimi has already wowed audiences with his extremely well-received Spider-Man trilogy, while James Franco and the crew of witches have proven to be fairly large box office draws. Also, you gotta love the black & white references to the original 1939 classic.

    3. Iron Man 3

    Starring: Robert Downey, Jr., Ben Kingsley, Don Cheadle, Gwyneth Paltrow

    Release Date: May 3

    The first Marvel Cinematic Universe film since the record-breaking Avengers, Iron Man 3 looks to be taking a redemptive, Christopher Nolan Batman-type approach with a significantly darker tone. The special effects look bigger and badder than ever and I'm excited about the vulnerable places Downey, Jr. will be taking the usually suave character. Chills guys, chills.

    4. Star Trek Into Darkness

    Starring: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Benedict Cumberbatch

    Release Date: May 17

    I have always been a very unabashed, unashamed Star Wars fan that would vocally tear down Star Trek whenever I got the chance. But that all changed in 2009 when J.J. Abrams gave us the pure, epic spectacle that is Star Trek. This new sequel will plunge viewers into even darker, more intense territory. And I'll probably wet my pants.

    5. Man of Steel

    Starring: Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Kevin Costner, Russell Crowe

    Release Date: June 14

    It has been so, so long since a good Superman film has been produced. The Man of Steel used to be the world's most badass and beloved superhero in existence until big-budget versions of Batman, Spider-Man, Iron Man, etc. came about. Superman was pushed to the back burner, and when he finally got another movie, the results were lame (Superman Returns [2006]). However, 2013 will be the year of Superman's (actual) return. Led by Christopher Nolan (The Batman Trilogy) and Zack Snyder (300), Man of Steel is shaping up to be one of the year's biggest and boldest blockbusters.

    6. Monsters University

    Starring: John Goodman, Billy Crystal

    Release Date: June 21

    Pixar never lets me down (unless we're talking about Cars... but that's a dark exception) and Monsters University appears to be another funny, witty, and colorful entry in the studio's wonderful canon. It surprises me that it's taken so long to get a second Monsters, Inc. installment, but I will embrace the film with open arms and I can't wait to see what college life is like for Mike and Sulley.

    7. Despicable Me 2

    Starring: Steve Carell, Russell Brand, Miranda Cosgrove, Al Pacino

    After the unprecedented success of Despicable Me, it was inevitable that Universal would release a sequel. Not much is known about the plot as of yet, but if it's anything like the first film, you can bet it will be a funny and engaging hit.

    8. The Wolverine

    9. 300: Rise of an Empire

    10. Ender's Game

    11. Thor: The Dark World

    12. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

    13. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
