OUR TAKE : There so many crowing thing come from this dealership - an epicAmazing Spider - Man 3showdown , VenomandSinister Sixmovies - that it puts monolithic amounts of pressure on this second cinema to be both an improvement on the first , and a wide bound board for this expanding enfranchisement universe . CanASM2deliver on both fronts ? Well , early reviewsprovide coalesce answers to that question …

Walk of Shame

James Marsden ( ex - Men ) , Gillian Jacobs ( Community ) and Sarah Wright ( 21 & Over ) Colorado - star .
OUR TAKE : Elizabeth Banks is one of the funnier comediennes headlining movies these days - and we love those " long oddessy to a single destination " comedy flicks in the vein ofQuick Change . But even with a raunchy red-faced - band trailer this film looks more forgettable than memorable - and it could easily get tangled inSpider - Man ’s box office web .
Chef

Robert Downey Jr. Dustin Hoffman , John Leguizamo , Amy Sedaris , Oliver Platt , Bobby Cannavale , Sofia Vergara and Scarlett Johansson all co - star .
OUR TAKE : It looks like Jon Favreau is back to writing and directing his own indie - fashion films ( in the vein ofSwingers ) - and we are not at all sore about it . A nice lineup of friends / collaborator / carbon monoxide - star adds more bonus to check out this smaller summer oblation .
Fed Up
Upending the conventional wiseness of why we gain weight and how to lose it , Fed Upunearths a dirty secret of the American nutrient diligence : far more of us get wan from what we eat than anyone has previously realize . Filmmaker Stephanie Soechtig and television diarist Katie Couric lead us through this potent exposé that uncovers why - despite mass medium attention , the public ’s enchantment with appearance , and government insurance to combat puerility fleshiness - generation of American children will now exist shorter life story than their parents did .

Wiser the bird of night , Marshal Mallow , China Princess and Tugg the towboat join Dorothy on her late magical journeying through the colorful landscape of Oz to restore order and felicity to Emerald City .
OUR TAKE : With films likeTangledandFrozenredefining Graeco-Roman " damsel in distress " tales for a mod feminist era , we ’re just hopingLegends of Ozcan keep footprint with the exchange times , and still deliver an animated movie experience on equality with Disney / Pixar / Dreamworks .
Mom’s Night Out

OUR TAKE : A family - favorable comedy about how hard momma lick , and how pappa take upkeep of the tiddler is a disaster in the fashioning ? If this was the mid-1980s , this moving picture would be completely rad ; in a 2014 world , it just look two - dimensional and dated . And sorry , having names like Sarah Drew ( Grey ’s Anatomy ) and Sean Astin ( Lord of the Rings ) as your headliners is n’t exactly drawing us in …

The fictional character from the original X - Men film trilogy join force play with their younger selves from XTC - Men : First Class in an larger-than-life battle that must interchange the past tense - to keep open our time to come .
OUR TAKE : This is the biggest gamble that the 10 - Men motion-picture show enfranchisement has ever taken , with an inflated budget and a cast jam - packed with two serial publication ' worth of X - Men fictitious character and actors . massive things are expect from this quasi - rebooting , universe - expanding installment ; whether it will deliver all that it needs to , remains to be seen .

OUR TAKE : The deservingness ofFamily Guycreator Seth MacFarlane ’s drollery have been to a great extent fence in the last few yr , but there ’s no denying that his first feature film - film effort , Ted , was a success ( half a billion worldwide on a $ 50 million budget ) . Westerns are n’t what they used to be , but MacFarlane ’s brand name is strong right now - as is his cast , which also includes the the likes of of Neil Patrick Harris , Amanda Seyfried , Sarah Silverman and others .
Maleficent
A vindictive nance ( Angelina Jolie ) is motor to anathemise an babe princess ( Elle Fanning ) only to realize the tike may be the only one who can mend repose .
OUR TAKE : Fairytale re - imaginings likeAlice In Wonderland , Snow White and the HuntsmanandJack the Giant Killerhaven’t exactly been new classics - but a few of them ( i.e. , the one under the Disney streamer ) have made money . With one of the biggest star in the existence headlining , a Disney merchandising push and small competition in the literary genre , we expectMaleficentto do very well for herself . Will it be a good picket ? late history says that the animatedSleeping Beautywon’t be upstaged by this new reading .

Though he becomes better skilled along the way , he must ally with a war hero ( Emily Blunt ) to finally stock out a plan to save the world shape encroachment .
OUR TAKE : After being impressed with his last string of films ( Mission : unacceptable 4,Jack Reacher , Oblivion ) we ’re well past the personal disputation and have love for a dependable Tom Cruise movie - specially in the sci - fi music genre . The premise of this film ( Oblivion : Groundhog Day ) is interesting , and the visuals byBourne Identitydirector Doug Liman are reasonably impressive as well . Not to refer : we like these exoskeleton suits much better than that material fromElysium . depend us in for this one .
The Fault in Our Stars
Hazel ( Shailene Woodley ) and Gus ( Ansel Elgort ) are two teenagers who partake an vitriolic wag , a condescension for the formal , and a love that sweeps them on a journey . Their kinship is all the more miraculous given that Hazel ’s other constant companion is an atomic number 8 tank , Gus jokes about his prosthetic branch , and they meet and fall in love at a Crab backing group . Based on the John Green novel .
OUR TAKE : Divergentwasn’t all that great , but Woodley ’s indie drama films ( The descendant , Spectacular Now ) have been good showcases of her talent . This looks like more of that - plus some more sophisticated summer counter - computer programing for theNew York Timescrowd .
22 Jump Street
June 13th
Officers Schmidt ( Jonah Hill ) and Jenko ( Channing Tatum ) go deeply secret at a local college to crack a offence gang within a frat . But when Jenko meets a kindred spirit on the football squad and Schmidt penetrate the bohemian artistic creation major scene , they start to question their partnership .
OUR TAKE : On newspaper , this seems like the exact same celluloid as the first installment , just relocated to college . However , before we go making too manyHangover 2comparisons , permit ’s expect back and remember that directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller resurrected this franchise against all betting odds , and also made 2014 ’s biggest hit out of nothing but LEGOs . It would not be smart to bet against them now . Same goes for Tatum and Hill .

Jersey Boys
June 20th
The story of four unseasoned mankind from the wrong side of the data track in New Jersey who came together to form the iconic 1960s rock and roll group The Four Seasons .
OUR TAKE : Are you aJersey Boysfan ? Then this movie - direct by Clint Eastwood no less - should be everything you love about the Broadway show . Those hoping to possibly break something inJersey Boysby way of this film ? Well , the same trick did n’t work forRock of Ages , but this IS Clint Eastwood and a solid cast we ’re talking about . Could be a smasher .
Think Like A Man Too
All the brace are back for a wedding in Las Vegas , but plans for a quixotic weekend go awry when their various misadventures get them into some compromising situations that threaten to derail the big event .
OUR TAKE : The first film whelm serious odds to turn a Steve Harvey ego - help script into a fresh romantic comedy with a talented up - and - add up cast . With some of the faces now more familiar ( Kevin Hart ) and a premiss that seemingly leaves the source of Harvey ’s Holy Writ in the rear - survey , we ’re hop that this does n’t ferment out to be theOcean ’s 12of fixed storage - com sequels .
Snowpiercer
June 27th
In the future , a failed global - warm experimentation kills off all living on the planet except for a lucky few that board the Snowpiercer , a train that travels around the globe , where a class system promptly evolves , and tensions amongst the survivor step by step wax .
OUR TAKE : Korean film maker Joon - ho Bong made a name for himself with religious cult - classic likeThe HostandMother . His American introduction sounds like an interesting societal allegory thriller , with a cast that include Chris Evans ( Captain America 2 ) , Jamie Bell ( Fantastic Four ) , Alison Pill ( TheNewsroom ) , Tilda Swinton , Jon Hurt , Octavia Spencer and Ed Harris . That ’s enough to make US check out it out - especially if it serve well as a more intellectual alternative to our next ingress …

A machinist ( Mark Wahlberg ) and his daughter ( Nicola Peltz ) make a uncovering that brings down Autobots and Decepticons – and a paranoid government functionary ( Kelsey Grammer ) – on them . A semi - reboot of the series featuring a fresh human cast and both raw and returning Transformers type . Peter Cullen will once gain phonation Optimus Prime .
OUR TAKE : Michael Bay has foretell that this first chapter in a new trilogy will be dark , more adult and more activity - pack - with newer , cool transformer quality , to charge . Well , we will by all odds be getting new type on both the automaton and human side , but as far as the new tone and approach to the material ? Well , Bay call the same thing aboutTransformers 2 & 3,and we have yet to really see that hope fulfilled . Do you consider it this time ?

OUR TAKE : Melissa McCarthy is a comedy " it - girl " right now , and even when the overall moving picture is n’t that great , she ’s pretty unspoiled . With this film , McCarthy and her actor married man Ben Falcone ( the Air Marshal fromBridesmaids ) are taking the composition / directing reign to create their own comedic vehicle ; ergo , the closing result is all on them . We ’re rooting for them , how about you ?
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

Who will go forth as the dominant species ? Andy Serkis yield as the anthropoid Caesar , joined by Gary Oldman , Jason Clarke , Judy Greer , Keri Russell and Kirk Acevedo . Cloverfielddirector Matt Reeves take over the helm .
OUR TAKE : lift of the Planet of the Apesdid the impossible and rebooted the franchise with an interesting and touching sci - fi story . This subsequence looks like more of a dark , pensiveness and atmospheric sci - fi parable - but dissimilar does n’t necessarily mean bad . Certainly not with the cast and director involved .
Jupiter Ascending
July 18th
Jupiter Jones ( Mila Kunis ) was born under a night sky , with signs predicting that she was destined for great things . Now grown , Jupiter dream of the stars but wake up to the cold reality of a problem cleaning lav and an sempiternal rivulet of bad break .

OUR TAKE : This latest film from the Wachowskis ( The Matrix , Cloud Atlas ) expect like it is taking many eclectic genre image and throwing them all at the rampart . Here ’s go for that some of them lodge well enough to make a cohesive and immersive tale - but we ’re not confident yet .
The Purge: Anarchy
A new yoke act upon to survive on the street after their railway car break down right as the one-year purge commences ; meanwhile , a heavily - armed man plans to habituate the purge Nox to get retaliation . Frank Grillo , Zach Gilford , Kiele Sanchez , Zoë Soul and Michael K. Williams mavin .
OUR TAKE : The first film was barely passable ( if even ) . uncalled-for to say , we have little confidence that " taking it to the street " is going to leave in a better sequel .
Planes: Fire & Rescue

Dusty joins force with veteran soldier flak and rescue helicopter Blade Ranger and his squad , a bunch of all - terrain vehicle known as The Smokejumpers . Together , the dauntless squad battles a massive wildfire , and Dusty learns what it takes to become a true hero .
OUR TAKE : Hey , it ’s for the Kid and they ’ll make love it , but compare to some of the " for all ages " quicken feature article we get these daytime … this does n’t quite measure up . We ’re saving our money forHTTYD2 .
Hercules
July 25th
Having endured his legendary twelve labors , Hercules ( Dwayne Johnson ) , the Greek Ubermensch , has his life as a sword - for - hire test when the King of Thrace and his daughter seek his aid in defeating a oppressive warlord .
OUR TAKE : Hercules has already struck out at the box office once this year ( see : Legend of Hercules- or rather , never see it ) . This version has an appropriate leading human race in Johnson , but the trailer looked just as lackluster as its copy - Arabian tea predecessor . mouth the name " Brett Ratner " and watch the fanboy rancor start to simmer . That does not predict well for our hoagie .
Sex Tape
When Jay ( Jason Segel ) and Annie ( Cameron Diaz ) first got together , their romantic connection was intense - but ten years and two nestling afterwards , the fire of their sexual love needs a twinkle . To recoil things up a snick , they determine - why not ? - to make a television of themselves trying out every position in The Joy of Sex in one marathon three - time of day session . It seems like a dandy idea - until they get word that their most private video is no longer individual . With their reputation on the crinkle , they fuck they ’re just one click away from being laid bare to the world … but as their airstream to regenerate their TV leads to a dark they ’ll never bury , they ’ll find that their video recording will expose even more than they bargained for .
OUR TAKE : Diaz and Segel were a fun ( if not queer ) pairing inBad instructor , and that chemistry looks intact for this otherwise bland - looking clowning .
Step Up: All In
All - star from the former Step Up installing come together in glittering Las Vegas , battle for a triumph that could delimit their ambition and their careers .
OUR TAKE : So this is likeTheAvengersofStepUpmovies ? Well if you are one of the multitude that follow this franchise past the first installment ( if that long ) , we ’re sure you ’re emotional … right ?

Get On Up
A chronicle of James Brown ’s ascension from utmost poverty to become one of the most influential player in history .
OUR TAKE : Chadwick Boseman ( 42 ) already impress by play an African - American icon ( Jackie Robinson ) , so this latest biopic could be another smart role for him to showcase his talent ( take note Marvel , if you ’re still looking for someone to playBlack Panther ! ) . The other talent involved - Craig Robinson , Lennie James , Jill Scott , Octavia Spencer , Viola Davis , unfeigned Blood ’s Nelsan Ellis , Dan Aykroyd - speaks to the quality of the moving-picture show , and film director Tate Taylor ( The Help ) also has our confidence .
Into the Storm
August 8th
A group of high shoal students document the events and aftermath of a annihilating tornado .
OUR TAKE : Actors like Richard Armitage ( The Hobbit ) and Sarah Wayne Callies ( Walking Dead ) are n’t exactly box office bait ; however , the nostalgia and goodwill towards a moving-picture show likeTwistercould provide motivator for masses to check out this disaster film .
Lucy
A woman ( Scarlett Johansson ) , unintentionally caught in a colored bargain , turns the table on her capturer and transforms into a merciless warrior evolved beyond human system of logic .
OUR TAKE : We do n’t think you ask the Marvel streamer on a flick to get people to devote to see Scarlett Johansson kick butt like a superhero . The names " Luc Besson " and " Scarlett Johansson " are enough of a sell on their own - and thankfully so . Because on paper , this sounds likeLimitlessmeetsHanna .
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
wickedness has settled over New York City as Shredder and his malevolent Foot Clan have an iron clutch on everything from the police force to the politicians . The future is grim until four unbelievable friendless pal climb from the sewer and discover their luck asTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles .
OUR TAKE : hear Michael Bay ’s name attached to another one of our beloved childhood cartoon / plaything makes us spooky . Then again , the look of the film and character has not been the complete disaster we believe it could be ( at least not in our opinion ) . MaybeTMNTwill be a pleasant dark sawhorse surprise in this crowded summer ? Here ’s hoping …

But when these new - minted " submarine sandwich " get tangled in a real life-time entanglement of mobsters and contaminating detective , they must put their fake badges on the line .
OUR TAKE : Even if you do n’t likeNew Girl , Johnson and Wayans Jr. have show solid charisma and comedic ( sometimes dramatic ) chop in films likeSafety Not Guaranteedor shows likeHappy end . free-base on that , we ’re willing to give this moving-picture show fromGirl Next Doordirector Luke Greenfield a injection . modest comedies can still go a long manner .
As Above, So Below

When a squad of Internet Explorer ventures into the uncharted labyrinth of bones , they unveil the dark secret that lies within this city of the dead .

Stonebanks , who sidestep death once before , now is making it his missionary station to end The Expendables – but Barney has other plans . Barney decides that he has to fight old roue with raw rake , and bring in a new earned run average of Expendables squad members , recruiting individual who are vernal , degenerate and more technical school - savvy . The latest commission becomes a clash of classical old - school style versus high - tech expertness in the Expendables ' most personal battle yet .
OUR TAKE : Lengthy synopsis , but it basically breaks down like this : On the one hand , it ’s anotherExpendablesmovie ( passport ) ; on the other hand , the card of action mechanism maven - Stallone , Statham , Schwarzenegger , Li , Antonio Banderas , Wesley Snipes , Harrison Ford , to name a few - almost demands that any ego - respecting military action fan show up and get slice of this event . This instalment will be directed by relative newcomer Patrick Hughes , who will then channelise the American remaking ofThe Raid : salvation . That ’s a LOT to prove in a short meter . Good luck .
The Giver

When Jonas ( Brenton Thwaites ) is 12 years sure-enough , he ’s chosen to be the community ’s Receiver of Memories . He enter into education with an old mankind called The Giver ( Jeff Bridges ) . From the Giver , Jonas learns about nuisance , sadness , war , and all the unhappy truths of the " veridical " cosmos . He quickly realize that his residential district is bastard . Confronted with this realness , Jonas faces difficult option about his own life and his future tense .
OUR TAKE : It ’s a weird cast - Bridges , Meryl Streep , Alexander Skarsgård , Katie Holmes , Taylor Swift - based on a bestselling sci - fi social allegory novel . In the wake ofDivergent , we ’re not sure they we ( or other people ) are quick for another one of these so before long .
Sin City: A Dame to Kill For
August 22nd
fan will once again delve into creator Frank Miller ’s ‘ Sin City ’ creation for tales of love , betrayal and murder that fall out before and during ( and perhaps even after ) the case of the first film . Returning characters admit Dwight ( Josh Brolin supercede Clive Owen ) , Gail ( Rosario Dawson ) , Miho ( Jamie Chung ) , Nancy ( Jessica Alba ) , John Hartigan ( Bruce Willis ) , Marv ( Mickey Rourke ) and Manute ( Dennis Haysbert , supplant the late Michael Clarke Duncan ) - along with new addition like Eva Green and Joseph Gordon - Levitt .
OUR TAKE : It ’s more of what we got with the cult - hit first installment - but alas , the times ( and the comic book movie genre ) have changed . We ’re a bit worried thatSin Cityis no longer a place worth visiting .
When the Game Stands Tall
Inspired by a true history , When the Game Stands Talltells the remarkable journey of legendary football coach Bob Ladouceur ( Jim Caviezel ) , who took the De La Salle High School Spartans from obscurity to a 151 - game winning bar that shattered all phonograph record for any American sportswoman .
