Civil War was an A+ film. Conjuring 2 was solid and better than the original. Ghostbusters, X-Men, Dory and The Shallows were pretty good too.

Last summer had 9 movies I gave a B+ or higher to. Counting Civil War as 2, we have 7 this year with Sausage Party (and Neighbors/Nice Guys on blu ray) still to come. So it's lagging, but not abnormally bad or anything.

Remember the summer of 2006? There were, like, 2 good movies that entire summer. OK, maybe 3 (The Devil Wears Prada, Little Miss Sunshine, Talladega Nights).

Really, the last truly great summer was 2009. Star Trek, Up, The Hangover, Inglorious Basterds, 500 Days of Summer, District 9, and Drag Me to Hell were all quality wide-releases. No other summer since then has come close IMO.

The best is probably Finding Dory or Captain America, neither of which seems destined to be a classic. Hopefully Fall will be better.

10 Cloverfield Lane was a better blockbuster than anything released so far this summer by a longshot.

Hmm, cost $15m and made $72m. 10 Cloverfield Lane is not at all a blockbuster.

So it's lagging, but not abnormally bad or anything. Last year had both Inside Out and Mad Max though, both of which seem destined to become classics. As you said this year the best wide release is CA:CW. Which did not have as strong of a reception as Winter Soldier, and already seems like audiences were only momentarily satisfied with it, given its truly atrocious multiplier.

I haven't even been to the movies once this summer. Nothing has piqued my interest enough to warrant it.

2016 B+ or higher Films: The Nice Guys, CA, Central Intelligence, Star Trek, Finding Dory, The Shallows, Bad Moms 2016 Decent films: Money Monster, Apocalypse, Conjuring 2, Ghostbusters, JB, Purge, BFG, SLOP Total 15 2015 B+ Or Higher: AOU, Mad Max, Spy, Inside Out, Ant Man, Trainwreck, MI5, The Gift 2015 Decent Films: San Andreas, Jurassic World, TG, Southpaw, Vacation, Compton, UNCLE, Walk in the Woods Total 16 Pretty much a wash for me, and there are a few films left I think I have potential like SS, Sausage Party, Don't Breathe, War Dogs and Pete's Dragon 2014 was the real stinker. I don't think I liked more than 10 films that year.

GOF is the only Potter film i went to see in a theater and of the 4 ive seen the best one IMO. This summer have only seen three films Civil War, Dory and TMNT2. The latter two for my kids. I thought Dory was good and Civil War was great. Hoping to still catch Trek, Bourne and SS.
