Summer is the known season for all things movies. You get the giant blockbusters, the romances, the flashy superhero movies, and the over the top comedies. Yet summer seems to be starting a bit early in the movie-world, and it's starting off in an absolutely packed month, May! I was looking over the summer release schedules and I guarantee you'll find something you will want to see in this lineup.
May 2nd: The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Starting off May comes the sequel to the reboot of the Spider-Man saga. The first film was pretty much just a flashier retelling of Spidey's origin story, but this sequel promises to be insane, with 3 villains already confirmed to make an appearance in this movie. The trailers have shown some epic throwdowns in New York, and the effects just keep getting better and better. Expect some great things with this sequel, I have a feeling it'll be loads better than the first one.
May 9th: Neighbors
Zac Efron and Seth Rogen face off in a comedy about a dad and a fraternity guy sneakily pulling huge pranks on each other's lives. It promises a lot of laughs and some hilarious over-the-top scenes that'll be a perfect first comedy for summer. The first time I saw this trailer, I couldn't stop laughing. There's a particular scene where the frat boys steal an airbag and put in underneath Rogen's character's office chair. Needless to say, you can expect a lot of zany fun.
May 16th: Godzilla
Million Dollar Arm
We have been waiting for a decent Godzilla movie for basically ever, and with these trailers, it actually looks like they did it 100% right. It's too soon to be sure, but the cinematic style creates for a defined dark tone that definitely shows they paid attention to quality and detail this time around. And Million Dollar Arm is your drama/biography about a man who recruits Cricket players to try out for the MLB. It's one of those "inspiring underdog" stories, so if you're interested in that, it also looks like it'll be a worthwhile pick.
May 23rd: X-Men: Days of Future Past
I got goosebumps while watching the trailer for this movie. Though the movie is about time travel and looks like it'll have a lot of potentially confusing material, I believe director Bryan Singer will bring back what everyone loved about the first few X-Men movies. He really understands the universe and I know he'll do this sequel a lot of good. X-Men has always been one of my favorite superhero sagas, and I cannot wait for it to return to the big screen.
May 30th: Maleficent
A Million Ways to Die in the West
Ever wanted a dark retelling of Sleeping Beauty? Well Maleficent is here, and Angelina Jolie looks like she took that role and went all out. Expect some insanely good acting and some insanely good storytelling. And Family Guy creator Seth Macfarlane brings us the outrageous looking comedy A Million Ways to Die in the West. Does it look a bit silly and over the top? Yes. Is it still probably going to be hilarious? Absolutely.
And there you have it. At least 7 movies you should check out this May. The summer movie season has crammed a lot of the best in first, so don't miss your opportunities to check out these sure-to-be hits on the big screen.
