Five films that are Jay’s hits for the summer
Wonder Woman
Starring Gal Gadot and Chris Pine
This is everything any top-notch film should have, an outstanding script, great character development, and a cohesive story. It has a nice amount of action and A perfect template for any super hero movie.
Dunkirk
Starring Tom Hardy and Mark Rylance
This film reflects the personal experiences of the men at Dunkerk, not necessarily the battle itself. It has an all-star cast and a suspenseful soundtrack by Hans Zimmer.
Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 2
Starring Bradley Cooper, Chris Pratt, and Kurt Russell
This has more of the same that made the first film a hit, plenty of action, funny one-liners and the perfect classic soundtrack.
Spider-man Homecoming
Starring Tom Holland and Michael Keaton
This film has a lot of action and funny-liners but it’s secondary to the fantastic story. It’s fresh and unique and maybe the best Spider-man.
Baby Driver
Starring Ansel Elgort and Kevin Spacey
This is a unique heist movie that is not only fast paced but it has funny-liners and a classic sound track that covers many years.
Five films that are Jay’s misses for the summer
Rough Night
Starring Scarlet Johansson, Jillian Bell, and Kate McKinnon
This film has some funny lines but it quickly runs out of steam and becomes sappy and sentimental
King Arthur, Legend of the Sword
Starring Charlie Hunnam
This film is very confusing, it has flat and boring character’s, choppy editing and just a lousy script.
Baywatch
Starring Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron
This may be the worst film of the summer; the story is unimaginative with raunchy Jokes about body parts every few minutes. It’s so sophomoric it’s worse than the television show of the same name.
Snatched
Starring Goldie Hawn and Amy Schumer
The chemistry between the two leading actresses is good but there are two many serious unfunny parts in this movie. The script is lousy and there is nothing but sex jokes for humor
Transformers, The Last Knight
Starring Mark Wahlberg and Anthony Hopkins
This film is overblown and over stuffed with action and even though This is shorter than the last Transformers movie it’s still too long. The characters are just to thinly written with no cohesive story.
