One of the worst "Blockbuster Summer Movie" Years of all time?

What a terrible summer for movies. I miss the days where every single Friday a new huge movie was released. Now, the movies this summer have been absolutely garbage.
Let's see the big blockbuster movie coming out this friday
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
The Hundred-Foot Journey
Into the Storm
Step Up All In
What If

Captain America
Edge of Tomorrow
Guardians of the Galaxy
Say no.
Edge of Tomorrow

You sure you want to make such a blanket statement?

It's pretty evident when the highest grossing film domestically as of August has made only $260MM.

I didn't think it was that bad.
Captain America, Days of Future Past, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Edge of Tomorrow were all pretty good I thought.

Nothing has really appealed to me yet this summer

I think it was a lot better than last summer.

It's a shame Edge of Tomorrow did so poorly domestically, as that was one of the most inventive and well-made action films of the past decade. It's killing overseas, so it is still profitable, but a movie that good should have been a no doubt about it hit. That way, Hollywood would make more good, original movies.
I haven't seen Snowpiercer, but I've heard similar things about it as well.

Guardians of the Galaxy
Captain America
Edge of Tomorrow
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Days of Future Past
22 Jump Street
How to Train Your Dragon 2
Hercules
Lucy
Were all apparently pretty good.
Now that you've made me think about it - it's actually been one of the better summers CONSISTENTLY showing decent movies throughout in a while.

A good argument can be made

Looking back on 2010 - Scott Pilgrim has aged the best and was probably the best all around film.

It was what a year or two ago when it was GREATEST SUMMER FOR MOVIES DVER

Looking at those two lists, I think 2014 might be the better one. I wouldn't really count Winter's Bone as a "summer blockbuster" either. If we're claiming that for 2010, then 2014 gets to claim Boyhood... but I think we're then talking about something different than blockbusters.
2013, by contrast, made more money but that list of film is ugly. I like Iron Man 3, but it's the weakest of the trilogy. Monsters U is a competent sequel, but its not great. Despicable Me 2 is the only movie in the top 10 I'd recommend without reservation.
