Movies to Watch Out For in 2011, listed from most anticipated to least. Each includes a trailer of the top three upcoming movies for 2011. The list of 2011 movies to watch out for includes plot synopsis.

1. Battle: Los Angeles: This movie which portrays LA during an invasion of alien forces, has crafted a stylish trailer, one which has already been displayed in millions of theaters. Crowd reaction has been phenomenal, indicating the movie will probably be a box office hit, arguably regardless of whether or not the critics love it or hate it. It comes out March 11th, 2011.

2. The Green Lantern: Ryan Reynolds plays the famous Green Lantern from DC comics. The actor seems highly interested in comic book roles as he also stars as Deadpool from Marvel comics who is also expected to possibly get a film of his own. Some critics who are claiming the role is “whitewashed” (replacing a minority with a white person for a Hollywood film which does happen often) forget that the Green Lantern was first “Hal Jordan” before the one of the Justice League cartoon series: John Stewart (not to be confused with the TV star).

3. Cowboys & Aliens: Cowboys. Aliens. Harrison Ford. Daniel Craig. Jon Favreau, who did the critically acclaimed Iron Man movies, directing. No more needs to be said.
