Summer Movie Season 2017 (Month 1 Recap)
Hello Followers. The first month of the summer movie season has come to a close and it's amazing how fast it went by. As the June movies prepare to take center stage, let's breakdown the May films based on critical and financial impact.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2
The anticipated sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy was met with great acclaim and mild criticism. While still a funny, thrilling, and emotionally strong sequel, it's impact wasn't felt as strongly as the first film. Despite that, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 is still a terrific installment in the MCU and a strong way to kick off the summer season.
King Arthur Legend of the Sword
Guy Ritchie's rendition of King Arthur was ambitious but criticality flawed. A choppy and unevenly paced conundrum of flash with little substance, King Arthur Legend of the Sword is in a word unworthy of the summer blockbuster mantle.
Alien Covenant
A more focused and action oriented than its predecessor Prometheus, Alien Covenant delivered in bloody action and tension filled suspense. While it was an improvement over the last film, it still didn't have the formula to stand out amongst the other films in the franchise. A good but less than perfect step forward for the sci fi horror series.
Everything Everything
Behind two very solid leads, Everything Everything brought a sweet and engaging love story that wasn't without it teen romance drama clichés but still gave a satisfying and stable summer romance.
Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales
The latest Pirates of the Caribbean film was a refreshing and much needed change in heading for a franchise sinking into obscurity. A larger scope and big scale action helped make this latest swashbuckling adventure the most entertaining and satisfying entry yet.
