It's been an interesting year so far in that the two biggest films of the year (AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON and FURIOUS 7) are typical summer blockbuster-style films, but they were released earlier in the year. The same goes for MAD MAX: FURY ROAD and PITCH PERFECT 2. That said, there is still a lot to look forward to this summer.
Here is a look at many of the films that may or may not be worth your time and money.
