Hey Followers, The opening month of the summer movie season is in the books. It was an action packed month filled with thrills, shocks, and laughs. Let’s look back at the films experienced in the month of May.

Here Are Some Of Standout Films That Were Released This Month

 

 

The Amazing Spider Man 2

Sony Pictures got the Summer Movie Season ball rolling with The Amazing Spider-Man 2. The film displayed great action but somewhat spent a little too much time trying to be like Marvel Studios by building the Spider-Man universe at a risky pace. With a sequel in motion for 2016, lots of changes await for the franchise as it preps to build it’s universe and truly allow the franchise to live up to it’s name.

 

Godzilla

                On May 16^th, the king of the monsters made a triumphant return to cinemas in the Garth Edwards retelling of Godzilla. The film displayed tremendous visual fiber as well as delivering amazing monster action. The actors all pulled their share of the weight as they performed to the best of their abilities. However, the film’s big star was what the fans REALLY wanted to see and he came up big after a 16 year absence. Sequel talks have already begun as Godzilla stands tall and is ready to take the 21^st Century by storm.

 

 

 

 

 

X-Men Days of Future Past

                Establishing itself as the true standout in the movies that came out in May, X-Men Days of Future Past was a true marvel that delivered an all-star cast and an emotionally powerful story. Bringing together the X-Men from the past and present was truly an amazing sight and it was handled with great care. Now, the X-Men franchise has in a way been given new life for the next generation to enjoy. The first step to that new life begins in May of 2016 with the release of the upcoming sequel, X-Men: Apocalypse.
