The last four films are dedicated to the real heavy-hitters. Pirates Of The Caribbean returns first for its fourth outing on May 18. It follows Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow as he searches for the fountain of youth with Penelope Cruz, Ian McShane will also be joining the crew and Geoffrey Rush will be returning.

A director change may not be the greatest turn of events, but for many, seeing Johnny Depp back in the role which catapulted him into the mega A-list will do the trick.

Next up is X-Men: First Class, a prequel to the original X-Men trilogy. Some brilliant casting choices and Jane Goldman and Matthew Vaughn re-teaming as writing and directing partners again, after the superb Kick Ass make this one of the most exciting prospects for the summer.

It follows the beginnings of Magneto and Professor X when they were simply Eric Lensherr and Charles Xavier, they were once good friends, and then they slowly became enemies. This will be released on June 2.

Arguably, the two biggest films follow. Firstly, there's Transformers: Dark Of The Moon. The first one was fun and action packed, then the second one was overly convoluted. The third film's trailer has just been released and it looks like they may be heading in the right direction with this.

Michael Bay has added John Malkovich, Patrick Dempsey and has replaced Megan Fox with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Bay has some critics to win over, but it looks like the end to his trilogy is set to go out on a high on June 29.

We had to save the best until last, so here we have, the final Harry Potter, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2. In November, Part 1 came out and provided the beginning of the story, mostly just a road movie as Harry, Ron and Hermione found Lord Voldemort's horcruxes.
However, the action didn't come thick and fast. It ended on a very tense and exciting cliffhanger though, and those who have seen it or know the book will know that the second half is going to be very action-packed and an all-out war of the wizards will happen.

Even those who don't see themselves as Harry Potter fans are going to enjoy the final outing of the boy wizard. Pencil it in, do not miss it, July 15 is when we'll see the last of the Potter.
