Summer Movie Season 2016 (Month 2 Recap)
Happy Hump Day Followers!!!! Hope you are all enjoying the Summer season so far. We are now in the final days of June and it has been a whirlwind that has come and gone quickly. Before we prepare to enter the third quarter of 2016, let's go over the big films that were released this month.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of The Shadows
The Turtles returned to the silver screen following a good but not great reintroduction and delivered one of the most entertaining and fun movies of the summer so far. Great action, humor, and heart culminated into an authentic TMNT cinematic spectacle. COWABUNGA!!!!
Warcraft
The on screen adaptation of one of the biggest gaming franchises ever was met with polarizing reception. Though some praised its action, visuals, and world building, other criticized it's plot and lack of character development. A modest but less than satisfying film to say the least.
Now You See Me 2
The sequel to the magic heist caper delivered the same on your toes narrative and eye popping magician flair that made the first movie such a hit. Great performances from newcomers and old vets, spectacular visual effects, along with great magical sequences allowed the second film to be just as memorable as the first.
Finding Dory
Thirteen years is a long time to wait for a sequel to a movie that is beloved by all. But if the results are like what is seen in Finding Dory, than the wait is more than worth it. A stellar performance from Ellen DeGeneres, amazing visuals, and an emotionally powerful story. Pixar has delivered a praise worthy sequel and another studio masterpiece.
Central Intelligence
The action buddy comedy featuring two of the biggest stars in Hollywood ended up surprising a lot of people. Behind great action, fun performances from Johnson and Hart, and a solid story, Central Intelligence is a modest and funny summer comedy.
Independence Day Resurgence
In an age where dark, sinister, and serious summer action movies are all the rage, the sequel to the 1996 sci-fi classic chooses to go against the flow and deliver a stupid, dumb popcorn action flick that is entertaining throughout. though some will be turned off by it, the film never tries to be something it isn't and succeeds in showing what the summer movie is all about: fun, unserious, and an all around good time.
