Forums - Movies & TV - Hollywood Should Be Ashamed Of Itself -- Worst Summer Movie Season EVAR.

 

Like seriously, this is it? 

This summer I watched Captain America 3, Tarzan, Batman Vs. Superman, Indepedence Day, X-Men Apocalypse, Suicide Squad, Jungle Book, Star Trek Beyond, Ghosbusters .... seriously Hollywood, this movie season *sucked*. This is probably the worst summer movie season I've experienced, and I've loved following summer movies since 1989. 

And it comes with movie ticket prices now becoming like $15-$18 a pop in many cities across North America. 

Get your shit together Hollywood. This is not a model that's going to work, if you're going to charge this kind of money for this quality of movie, this business model is in a lot of trouble. 

I'm sorry but as sad as it is to say, television now seems to have better writing. Game of Thrones was more epic and blew me away more than any summer movie this year. Stranger Things hooked me harder than all the movies this year combined. 

Also can someone make a successful movie WITHOUT freaking superheroes or CGI animals? Pretty please? 

There weren't even any really good comedies this summer.

You should be ashamed for managing to misspell the word 'ever'...

Simpsons reference young'un. 



What was wrong with The Jungle Book?

Also The Conjuring 2 was awesome and so was Civil War.

And to be honest I thought Apocalypse was really entertaining.



I've only watched Civil War and Jason Bourne so far. Checking out the new Star Trek tomorrow. Civil War was terrific but I was a bit disappointed in Jason Bourne. Hoping Star Trek is good but I'm not expecting too much.

It's on you. Civil War, Jungle Book and Star Trek Beyond were good.



Civil War, Jungle Book, and Star Trek Beyond were all fine, if not amazing. The number of flops and lack of diversity among big hits is disappointing, though.



Look at the top 10 for this year so far:

1. Captain America: Civil War (superhero movie)
2. Zootopia (CG animals)
3. Jungle Book (CG animals)
4. Batman V Superman (superhero movie)
5. Finding Dory (CG animals)
6. Deadpool (superhero movie)
7. X-Men Apocalypse (superhero movie)
8. Kung-Fu Panda 3 (CG animals)
9. The Secret Life of Pets (CG animals)
10. The Angry Birds Movie (CG animals)

Like what the fuck ... lol ... look at 1998

1. Saving Private Ryan (war drama)
2. Armageddon (spectacle drama)
3. There's Something About Mary (comedy)
4. A Bug's Life (CG animals)
5. The Waterboy (comedy)
6. Doctor Doolittle (family comedy)
7. Rush Hour (action comedy)
8. Deep Impact (spectacle drama)
9. Godzilla (monster movie)
10. Patch Adams (drama comedy)
11. Leathal Weapon 4 (action)
12. The Truman Show (drama)
13. Mulan (animated epic)

What the fuck happened to diversity?



I saw Star Trek yesterday and quite honestly it sucked. It was just like a 2 hour episode with a generic villain. And that Beastie Boys scene .... oh dear god.



Some were good, but most was bad. Step it up Hollywood.
