Large scale films are pretty clearly divided into "Oscar bait" and action-adventure, meaning there's something for everyone. And so let's get started.
Water shape
Release date: December 8, 2017
Cast: Octavia Spencer, Michael Shannon, Richard Jenkins, Sally Hawkins, Doug Jones and Michael Stuhlbarg.
What you need to know: this atmospheric film is about a janitor who falls in love with a sea monster in a high-security government laboratory in the 60s. In other words, we are talking about interspecies relations ¯ _ (ツ) _ / ¯. Guillermo del Toro is never wrong"Shape of Water" looks great and weird at the same time.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Release date: December 15, 2017
Cast: Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Kelly Marie Tran, Laura Dern, Benicio del Toro, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Lupita Nyong'o, Domhnall Gleason, Anthony Daniels and Gwendolyn Christie.
What you need to know:"The Last Jedi" continue to tell the story of Rey - this is the last film in which Carrie Fisher starred before her death.
Iron Man 3
Although the hero of the film (Tony Stark) spends 2/3 of the film out of armor, Iron Man 3 still earned the love of the audience. The film has the perfect blend of action (mostly explosive), giggles (mostly in the form of banter), and plot (pretty self-explanatory).
Fast & Furious 8
The Fast and the Furious franchise is an action movie series centered on a team of talented criminals who engage in illegal street racing and later robbery. Although the line-up has changed over the years, the basic formula remains the same: an eccentric team of colorful characters with different talents, led by Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel).
Jurassic World 2
The film tells about the events that took place in the Jurassic World of 2015., which ended with the explosion of a dinocentric amusement park and the death of most powerful creatures.
But three years later, scientists discover that an active volcano on the island will kill the last of the dinosaurs, a fact that worries Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard), who has become a fierce advocate for the conservation of their various species.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Part 2
The Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II event can only be described as epic. All the while, the three central actors - Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint - have grown up with their hordes of hardcore fans, and the franchise's ending is one of the biggest films of the 2010s.
Avengers: Age of Ultron
The second Avengers movie was warmly received when it first came out, but then got an immediate response, with many fans of the superhero genre claiming that while it's undeniably an entertaining movie, it represents a sort of step back from the record-breaking first movie. , but this does not take away the scale of the work.
Avengers
The film definitely deserves its place in ranking of the largest films, because at the time of its release, no one could compete with the richness and scale of what is happening on the screen with the Avengers.
Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame
Avengers: Infinity War is an epic that was often dreamed of, but never fully understood how big and epic it could be until it came to transition from comics to the big screen.
ConcerningAvengers: Endgame, this question is not so much an expression of unbridled enthusiasm, but a practical task in assessing the destination to which Kevin Feige and company have directed both the plot and the audience for the previous 11 years and 21 films.
Avatar
Avatar is the highest-grossing film ever made: irony and insincerity have no place in its vast universe. Whether or not James Cameron intended to capture the world of Pandora and its futuristic denizens from virtually every fantasy ur-text ever devised, it hardly matters, because Avatar is modern myth-making at its very core.
Briefly speaking

What you need to know: all you really need to know is that in this movie, Zendaya plays a trapeze artist who falls in love with Zac Efron. Of course, there are other things too (it happens in a circus!), but that's the main reason we'll be watching.
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
Date of release: December 20, 2017.
Cast: Bobby Cannavale, Kevin Hart, Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Karen Gillan and Nick Jonas.
What you need to know: for reasons that will forever remain a mystery (J.K., the reason is money), Hollywood continues to remake your favorite childhood movies with mixed results. Choice of actors inJumanji" seems pretty solid, but can anyone do it better than Robin Williams? let's see…

What you need to know: uh, what you need to know is that Taraji P. Henson is headlining one of the most killer looking movies of 2018, and she's playing a hitman for an organized crime family. Like…. what more could you want?

Black Panther
