Summer Movie Preview 2017

Hey everybody,

2017, so far, is of to a great start with big hits like Logan, Kong: Skull Island, Beauty and the Beast and The Fate of the Furious. The quality of the movies overal is pretty great and we haven't even entered Summer Movie Season yet. Expectations are running high for this summer season. Marvel is going to bring some firepower with not one but two new additions to the MCU, while DC is hoping for a comeback with the first female superhero movie. 

Just like last year I am here to give you a look at the summer movies that will be released between May and August that will hopefully blow us away. 

May

August 

• August 4: The Dark Tower The Gunslinger, Roland Deschain, roams an Old West-like landscape where "the world has moved on" in pursuit of the man in black. Also searching for the fabled Dark Tower, in the hopes that reaching it will preserve his dying world. 
• August 11: 
• August 18: The Hitman's Bodyguard The world's top bodyguard gets a new client, a hit man who must testify at the International Court of Justice. They must put their differences aside and work together to make it to the trial on time. 
• August 25: Tullip Fever An artist falls for a young married woman while he's commissioned to paint her portrait during the Tulip mania of 17th century Amsterdam.

I must say that the line up during August this year is pretty thin in comparison to other years. If I must say which movie I'm most looking forward to, I'm going to have to go with Spider-Man: Homecoming, but The Mummy en War for the Planet of the Apes are also high on my list. What movie are you most excited for? Let me know in a comment and let us all hope we have a wonderful summer!
