The summer films this year have been interesting. There were a lot of ā€œlast filmsā€ in series that have turned out toā€¦ not quite be the last film. Also, there have been films that were surprisingly good, and other films that were unsurprisingly not good. Here are the Other Pressā€™s spoiler-free, one-sentence reviews of this yearā€™s summer films.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2

As great as the first film.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales

A great way to end the film series (please, let it be the end).

Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie

Itā€™s true to the original chapter books and shows that the arts are important.

Cars 3

A very feminist G-rated movie.

Despicable Me 3

It has a lot of 1980s jokes in it.

Spider-Man: Homecoming

The best Spider-Man film ever made.

War for the Planet of the Apes

Wished James Franco was back, but surprisingly good.

Dunkirk

The best war movie this year.

Transformers: The Last Knight

It has beautiful IMAX scenes, but do we really need another Transformers film?
