It appears that we may be on the threshold of a fairly normalsummer movie season, perhaps even a good one, in terms of movie quality.

We have the obligatory blockbusters and action movies, but even some of those arrive with a decent pedigree (“Jurassic World Dominion,” “Thor: Love and Thunder”). We also have a new Jordan Peele thriller (“Nope”) and a new starring vehicle forBrad Pitt(“子弹头列车”)。最重要的是,我们有Baz Luhrmann的“猫王”几乎可以保证令人惊叹 - 尽管好令人惊讶还是令人惊讶的坏仍然有待确定。

Here’s a look at the biggest films coming to theaters this summer.

8 indie and international movies you won’t want to miss this summer

“侏罗纪世界统治”

Nothing seems more tired than the release of another “Jurassic Park” movie, at least until you’re sitting in the theater watching it. But this time, it seems that every star who has ever been in one of these movies is back — Jeff Goldblum, Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Bryce Dallas Howard, Chris Pratt — and that could be an indication that the script is decent.

在“侏罗纪世界:堕落王国”的事件之后,没有恐龙。他们在野外。他们是我们中间的。唯一剩下的问题是人类或恐龙是否会成为老板。

In theaters June 10.

'光年'

从预告片中,皮克斯(Pixar)和迪斯尼(Disney)试图扮演这个“玩具故事”角色,并将其附加到直接的科幻动作冒险中。在这里,我们通常与“玩具故事”系列相关联的凄美在这里显而易见 - 这似乎更像是一个动画的“银河护卫队”。

可能行不通,可能行不通。克里斯·埃文斯(Chris Evans)接管了嗡嗡声光年的声音,取代了蒂姆·艾伦(Tim Allen)。这部电影是一个启发皮克斯经典玩具的角色的起源故事。

“猫王”

Could be great, could be awful. One way or the other, it should be a fun movie. It features a director, Baz Luhrmann, who’s notorious for letting his exaggerated sense of style get in the way; Austin Butler as an Elvis who, when he gyrates, doesn’t look erotic but like he’s having a seizure; and Tom Hanks wearing a fat suit as Col. Tom Parker, which will take some getting used to. But it seems to cover the whole Elvis saga — from his humble beginnings to the Vegas years, when he’d go around in a white, sequined jumpsuit that made him look like a large chicken.

那是一个不可抗拒的故事,但是事实证明,我想看看。

6月24日在剧院上。

‘Minions: The Rise of Gru’

这部电影最初定于2020年上映,这使其成为最终发行的糟糕一年中的最后一部电影之一。这是一个起源故事,深入研究了受欢迎的搭档如何帮助年轻的Gru(来自“卑鄙的我”)成为游戏中的顶级反派。续集是“奴才”系列中的最新郊游,史蒂夫·卡雷尔(Steve Carell)返回Gru的声音。

Gru是作为电影主角的获得的品味,我实际上还没有获得过味道。但是该系列的粉丝会在这里找到一些可以享受的东西。最有可能的。从理论上讲,你知道。

In theaters July 1.

‘雷神:爱与雷声’

Thor has been a pretty reliable franchise for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the previous film, “Thor: Ragnarok” (2017) was one of the funniest and most enjoyable superhero movies to date. The return of “Ragnarok” director Taika Waititi bodes well for the latest installment, which involves a newly slimmed-down Thor (he was overweight in 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame”) trying to adjust to peacetime.

As always, the series’ best asset is Chris Hemsworth, whose nimble comic ability is even more impressive than his superhero appearance.

In theaters July 8.

‘Nope’

The latest from Jordan Peele appears to take place in a horse ranch, where supernatural forces are having a terrible effect on humans and animals. That’s about all we know, besides that it stars Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer, and that the trailer looks ominous and contains some disturbing sights, as well as a sprinkling of dark humor.

如果电影的音调与预告片相匹配,那么这应该是一部令人不安的电影,可以在大屏幕上看。

In theaters July 22.

'子弹头列车'

This looks to be an entertaining action comedy, starring Brad Pitt as a genial hit man who, on assignment, boards a bullet train in Japan, only to find that he is competing with four other assassins doing a similar job for other clients.

这部电影由大卫·莱奇(David Leitch)执导,他导演了两部成功的动作喜剧《死侍2》和《速度与激情礼物:霍布斯与肖》。顺便说一句,日本子弹列车看起来很棒 - 还有更多21日century than Amtrak.

In theaters Aug. 5.

‘Samaritan’

This is one of those movies that began filming before the pandemic, took a long break during quarantine, then restarted production. It has had a number of release dates over the course of two years, but now it’s finally coming out.

Based on a comic book series, “Samaritan” stars Sylvester Stallone as an aging superhero. That’s about all there is to know, but here’s a confusing bit of weirdness: Since February 2020, there has been a YouTube video, supposedly a trailer for “Samaritan,” that is actually a trailer for another Stallone film, “Backtrace” (2018). For the record, this is MGM’s first film set to open in movie theaters since the studio got bought out by Amazon.
