Rob’s 2019 Summer Blockbuster Must See List

I’m ashamed it’s taken me this long to not only post my movie list but to blog in general.

I hope you enjoy my 2019 list, presented without commentary.

Captain Marvel March 8
Us March 22
Pet Sematary April 5
Hellboy April 12
Avengers: Endgame April 26
Tolkein May 10
John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum May 16
Brightburn May 24
Ad Astra May 24
Godzilla: King of the Monsters May 31
Dark Phoenix June 7
The Dead Don’t Die June 14
Toy Story 4 June 21
Spider Man: Far from Home July 5
Stuber July 12
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood July 26
Artemis Fowl August 9
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark August 9
It: Chapter Two September 6

It seems that Blockbuster Season is sooner and sooner in the year, every year. This year we get a lot of great films that drop in March. I believe the true opening to the Blockbuster Season is May.

Of particular interest this year are Hellboy (which I have seen), Avengers: Endgame, John Wick, Stuber and It. I will definitely catch Captain Marvel if I can manage it before it leaves theaters, it may already be gone, and I’d love to see Us and Pet Sematary when they’re available to stream.

See you at the movies.
