Summer 2024 is right around the corner. It is time for a sneak peek of the movies hitting theaters this summer break. It looks like it’s going to be a memorable one for the books!
Inside Out 2: Inside Out 2, the sequel to the comedy/fantasy film Inside Out, hits theaters on June 14, 2024.. Inside Out 2 returns to the mind of Riley while headquarters is undergoing some unexpected changes. New emotions begin to show up and the original cast of emotions doesn’t know how to feel about the whole thing. Issues arise when they have conflict on how to deal with issues in headquarters. The movie is projected to be 1 hour and 40 minutes. I’m personally very excited. The first movie connected to me a lot when I was younger and I’m happy they’re remaking the movie now that she is a teenager.
Pre-movie rating: 4/5
Deadpool and Wolverine: Deadpool is back at it again with its third movie coming out this summer, this time with wolverine. This action-comedy is coming out July 26th and is going to be a good one.
Wolverine is dealing with his injuries and crosses paths with Deadpool. They team up to defeat a common enemy. This will apparently change the history of MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). The movie is 2 hours and 7 minutes long, so expect to see a lot of action!
While I do not usually watch many action movies, I am interested in seeing this movie due to me watching the two previous Deadpools. I have never seen a Wolverine movie though so I do not know what to exactly expect for the duo. To me, anything with Ryan Reynolds in it is usually a great movie.

Despicable Me 4:Despicable Me 4 is a new upcoming Family/Comedy coming to theaters July 3rd. In this sequel to the other 3 Despicable me movies Gru introduces a new baby, Gru Jr. It seems the new baby almost has a mission to torment his father. While they finally seem like a happy and peaceful family, this quickly comes to an end when they get targeted by a criminal mastermind, Maxime Le Mal. The movie is 1 hour and 34 minutes long. I personally liked the first 3 so i’m excited to see what they are going to do with the 4th one. Sofia Vergara is also starring as a side villain, Valentina. She is very talented and I personally think she’s going to bring good energy to the movie.

Personally, this movie looks really interesting. I am a sucker for romance movies and I’ve been seeing previews left in right since the end of 2023. I also love Zendaya as an actor, so I am excited to see her take on this role. She is very talented in all genres.

The Garfield Movie: The Garfield Movie is a family/comedy that hit theaters on May 19th! In this movie you see Garfield reunite with his father, a street cat Vic. Although it was his first time meeting him, his dad was able to convince him to go on a high-stake heist with him. Together, Garfield, his dad, and Odie go on an adventure with a few new characters. The movie already has a rating of 93% so I can’t imagine it being that bad. I’ve never been a huge fan of Garfield, but this seems like a fun family cartoon!

The Strangers: Chapter 1: This horror/slasher movie is one of the few horror movies coming out this summer. After their car breaks down in a spooky small town, a young couple is then forced to spend the night in a nearby cabin. Panic ensues as they are terrorized by three masked strangers. This will definitely be a scary hour and 31 minutes to endure! The film was just released on May 17th.
Due to this only being chapter 1, chapter 2 will be later released in 2024 and possibly a chapter 3 being made as well.
I am really excited to see this movie. I have been trying to get into horror movies and this one has my attention. I will definitely be seeing this in theaters this summer.

I haven’t seen the other movies so i don’t have perfect judgment but it looks very interesting. I’m definitely going to be watching in theaters.
