Month 3 Recap (July 2013)

Hello Followers, Well…This is It, The Final Month Recap of the Summer Movie Season. It’s been an awesome month and a memorable 3 months overall. Let’s take a look at how the films in July faired.

Here Are Some Of Standout Films That Were Released This Month

 

 

 

Pacific Rim

                Guillermo del Toro’s Monster/Robot epic was a monumental eye candy extravaganza that no question entertained audiences who were lucky enough to see it. However, as good as it was it tragically suffered a defeat in the US Box Office losing to the Adam Sandler comedy Grown Ups 2. The defeat at the box office sent a devastating chill over people who enjoyed the movie. Any hopes for a sequel were dashed in an instant. Luckily, a record breaking box office run overseas has resurrected talks of a sequel. This is great news knowing that possibly in a few years’ time, the Jaegers and Kaiju will make a welcome return to the big screen.  

 

 

 

Despicable Me 2

                Following the fun film from 2010, Despicable Me 2 was met with both praise and criticism. Being that the first film was so memorable, many fans expected the same from the next entry. Most fans said that they were very satisfied with what the film brought the second time around, others weren’t to pleased. Overall, the film had a record breaking July 4^th weekend box office performance and may very well be in contention for best animated film of the year.

 

 

 

 

The Wolverine

                Serving as the first of two X-Men films in back to back years, The Wolverine saw the return of Hugh Jackman as the title character. Being the last wolverine had a standalone movie resulted in a brutal panning from fans, The Wolverine served as a redemption movie as well as a new entry in the X-Men franchise. The film itself delivered a solid story, but slaked on action and overall impact. As a result the film just fizzed into a lead up into next year’s film. X-Men Days of Future’s Past due out Summer 2014. The film ultimately took the top spot at the box office and now fans eagerly await the all-star mutant fest that awaits them on Memorial Day next year.
