I thought now might be a good time to say my favorite 5 films of the year so far. When you're reading this, keep in mind that I've only seen about 15 2015 movies and there are plenty i haven't seen but want to. Let's start.
Honorable Mention: Spongebob: Sponge out of water
5. Kingsman: The Secret Service
I loved every kingsman trailer that came out. They looked so cool and had a great cast. I was disappointed to find out it was delayed to February and rated R. I thought a super fun spy film should be PG-13. I watched it in theaters regardless. It was a total blast, had some originality, and the characters were pretty good. It lost some of its quality on the rewatch, but remained a fun cool action movie. Kingsman deserves a watch and a place on this list.
4. Avengers: Age of Ultron
The only reason avengers age of Ultron made this list is because I haven't seen many 2015 movies yet. There's too many characters, the climax is disapointing, and villain is weak. But it came with awesome upsides too. The opening action sequence was awesome, setting the avengers on the screen again was nice, vision was awesome, the dinner party scene was full of your favorites and its one of the funniest marvel cinematic universe movies to date.
3. Ant-Man
The last movie I watched in theaters was Ant-Man. It was super fun, and Paul Rudd killed it. He did an incredible job of making Ant-Man cool. In fact, the rest of the characters were good and played well, especially Michael Douglas' Hank Pym and Michael Pena's Luis. The exception was Corey Stoll's weak villain Yellowjacket. (Not his fault though). The ant concept was cool, the falcon scene was an unexpected delight and Ant-Man is on the better half of the marvel cinematic films.
2. Jurassic World
I don't care what bad things critics or anyone has to say about Jurassic World. I disagree with most of them and I love it a lot more than the original. It brought the jurassic park franchise back on track, the kids weren't annoying at all, and Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard not only were pretty good together, but their characters are along the best of the series. It was funny, it was cool, and it was so much fun. The supporting cast was good too: Omar Sy, Vincent D'Onofrio, BD Wong and Irffan Khan. Sure, it had its fair share of flaws, but not huge ones and it was plenty awesome enough to ignore them.
1. Furious 7
Furious 7 perhaps has the best action sequences of any movie ever. The mountain chase scene was so thrilling and absolute fun. It was also lengthy so you could enjoy it for longer. The returning cast were at their very best and the new cast fit in greatly. Kurt Russell as Mr. Nobody was maybe the best of that. It sets up the Shaw brothers as future villains and i hope that happens. Not only is it by far the best of the series, but it's one of the greatest, if not the best, action movies of all time. The Paul Walker sendoff couldn't have been more beautiful - perfect and touching.
