5 Movies To See In May

May is a very tough month for those without the disposable income or time to spend every single night at the cinema. Studios are cranking out their blockbusters, and it looks like there are some films that could shoot up the list of the most successful of the year, at least in terms of box office figures, similar to what we saw in May of 2012. There are a ton of great films coming our way over the next 31 days, and figuring out which ones are worth your money may seem like a daunting task.

The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby has been on a heck of a ride over the last year. The film was one of the most anticipated of 2012 purely because of the story and the cast attached, but when the first trailer released, the excitement of some hit a manic level. But then there were rumours of issues on set, director Baz Luhrmann wanted to do reshoots but Warner wasn’t paying, and the film was moved from its prime Oscar contender date to May, causing many to question whether this film would indeed be as good as originally hoped.

Then, in the midst of all the skepticism, Gatsby did something incredible. It took the promotion to another level, introducing an incredible second trailer, and a final trailer that was even better than the original 2012 one. The top-notch soundtrack has been rolled out too and the excitement is at its peak yet again.

Of course, there’s no promise that Gatsby is going to be great. We won’t know that for sure until the first screenings. But it’s going to be great. The story is incredible, the cast is phenomenal, and it’s got a director whose entire career seems to have been building toward this film. Not only is The Great Gatsby the must-see film of May, but it may be the must-see film of 2013.
