2008 was a great year for movies and they managed to rake in millions for the box office considering the current economic situation. We had the likes of The Dark Knight and Cloverfield not to mention many more. But what does 2009 hold in store for us, in the form of big screen hits? Let us now take a look at some of the upcoming films.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

With the popularity of the previous movie there was bound to be a sequel. Well 2009 sees the return of Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox for another fully action packed movie. A few years on and the storyline and effects should be much more mind blowing.

Terminator Salvation

Last year we all knew him as Batman, but Christian Bale returns to our screens in 2009 for Terminator Salvation. We will watch as John Connor rallies against the robots in what is bound to be a box office hit.

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian

The first Night at the Museum film was a surprisingly good one that I did not expect to be as entertaining. Will the sequel match up to the first? Who knows, but we are bound to see more museum exhibits come to life and cause havoc.

Fast & Furious

The fourth in the series returns, but I am not too sure about this one as we see Paul Walker and Vin Diesel reunite. But why haven't they been together in the other ones? The franchise has been affected by bringing in new characters. Can these two actors revive the movie or will this be the finale? Let's wait and see.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

We can always expect a Harry Potter film to be a success, this is the sixth installment and see's Harry, Hermione, Ron and friends return to Hogwarts and face Lord Voldemort again.

Saw VI

Every year we can expect to see a Saw film released around Halloween time. But for Saw fans this may be the last installment as rumors are speculating that the film has run its course.

There are also many more films that we can expect such as X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Angels & Demons which see's the return of Tom Hanks, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Shutter Island and not to mention the new movies that come out every year which bring us an unexpected treat as they take the box office and critics by storm.
