At the beginning of the Summer, it looked like this year's line up for movies would be the best of all time! We had Civil War, Apocalypse, a potentially great video game movie (Warcraft), fan service from TMNT, another Pixar movie, another Star Trek, another Bourne, SUICIDE SQUAD, and DC animation finally hitting the big screen. 

Unfortunately 2016 churned out arguably the most disappointing summer movie season ever. The only other summer that competes would be 2009 (X-men: Origins, Terminator Salvation, Transformers Revenge of the Fallen, Angels and Demons, G.I. Joe). Several films under performed, including Alice Through the Looking Glass, Warcraft, Turtles and Indepdence Day: Resurgence. 2016 also will be known as the year DC miss-fired. Although BVS Ultimate Cut was a thorughly enjoyable movie, the theatrical release, along with Suicide Squad and Batman: Killing Joke all stumbled and failed to live up to the potential of their source material. So without further ado, here is the full 2016 Summer movie season recap: 



What was the best movie of the summer for you?

I'm not a huge Comic Book Geek, but the super hero movie genre has always excited me, and always will. I do not enjoy when people argue over CBMs like they're a religion, but i guess thats how most movie geeks are.

oh and if i had to really pic a side,
i mean really really really had to, then
DC, baby :)

but i really don't care about which is best. they both make me happy
