Most Anticipated Movies of 2015

I have to start off by saying that "Most Anticipated Movies" lists can often be useless endeavors. Most movies that are going to come out in 2015 haven't even finished being made yet. Some sound interesting, but will end up being terrible. Some sound terrible, but will end up being amazing.

But. So many of ya'll have asked me what the big movies are 2015 are going to be, I've gone ahead and put together a quick list of movies that should have a big draw.
