Hello!!
So, the summer movie season is over once again and before we dive into the Oscar season, let’s remember the great, the good and the bad. I will give you my list of summer movies, ranked best to worst and link the majority of them to their actual reviews. I have only missed 6 or 7 reviews, which is applaudable. By the way, the films will be broken into categories: blockbusters, comedies, dramas and animated films. Let’s go!
Disclaimer: Please, don’t get angry with my choices. This list is based mostly on my own opinion, although I am influenced by the critics and box office numbers as well because I, as an amateur reviewer, want to be able to look at films from different angles and want to know how to support my opinion with facts.
Let’s start with the biggest category, which also has the clearest winner!
BLOCKBUSTERS:
- Mad Max Fury Road
- Mission Impossible Rogue Nation
- Avengers Age of Ultron
- Ant-Man
- Jurassic World
- Fast&Furious 7 (technically, not a summer movie, but I’m including it)
- The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
- San Andreas
- Terminator Genisys
- Hitman Agent 47
- Tomorrowland
- Fantastic Four
COMEDIES:
- Pitch Perfect 2
- Ted 2
- Magic Mike XXL
- The DUFF
- She’s Funny That Way
- Pixels
- Spy
- Trainwreck
- Hot Pursuit
DRAMAS:
- Paper Towns
- Southpaw
- Far from the Madding Crowd
- Testament of Youth
- Irrational Man
- We Are Your Friends
- Age of Adaline
- The Longest Ride
ANIMATED FILMS:
- Inside Out
- Moomins of the Riviera
- Minions
So, as you can tell I didn’t review 4 comedies, 2 dramas, and 1 blockbuster (Moomins review coming in the next few weeks). Comedy is my least favorite genre, so it doesn’t surprise me that I didn’t want to review comedic movies. Sadly, all the last 3 spaces on the comedy list are female-driven films and I would love to support female movies, but I won’t lie and say that I liked them, when I actually didn’t.
Share your lists down below and tell me what was your favorite film of the summer! I’m going to watch Mad Max tomorrow one more time so that I could close the summer with the best film of it.
Bye!
I’ve only seen two of the movies on your list (I don’t really like to go to the movies, so seeing two of them is pretty good for me!). The movies I saw were Avengers and Inside Out, I enjoyed them both.
