As we head into the second half of the year I thought this would be a good time to rate the 5 movies I’ve seen at the theater so far this year.
Starting off with number five:
5) Cinderella
Fresh while still paying respect to the original Disney animated version, this film was a lovely adaptation of the classic story. This was the first movie I saw this year, but there was still more awesome movie magic to come.
4) Inside Out
This movie has all the great things we’ve come to expect with a Pixar film: endearing characters, incredible animation and feelings in a quite literal way. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I felt like there was something missing and as a result I didn’t connect as much as I have with past Pixar movies.
3) Avengers: Age of Ultron
This darker, bleaker chapter of Avengers was a fantastic summer blockbuster! It gave us more of what we love – beloved superheroes, non-stop action, state-of-the-art effects and super cool artificial intelligence. Bring on Civil War!
2) Tomorrowland
I loved this movie so much. I knew very little about it before I went but that just added to the intrigue of it. The gorgeous, shiny graphics, fascinating plot and message of hope really made this movie stand out for me. Don’t listen to the critics, GO SEE THIS MOVIE!!
1) Jurassic World
And that brings us to my favorite movie I’ve seen so far this year – Jurassic World. DINOSAURS, am I right?? If you read my full review of this you know how much I love dinosaurs and how brilliant I thought this movie was!
So there you have it, the ranking of all the movies I’ve seen so far this year. It will be interesting to see what movies make the list for the second half of the year, some of the ones I’m looking forward to are Ant Man, Minions, Peanuts, Hunger Games 4, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation and The Good Dinosaur…but I have a feeling Star Wars: The Force Awakens will rise to the top.
