Have you seen The Raid 2 -- Much more complex and convoluted than the original, which was one of the best action movies in recent years. Where the first dealt strictly with a raid on an apartment building over the course of a few hours and featured a mixture of machine guns and martial arts, the new movie is a sprawling story featuring prison gangs, warring mafia families, and takes place over several years. I still prefer the original but this one still kicks a lot of arse and is better than any action movie I've seen recently. It's far less gun play and more martial arts, but includes a car chase as well. Some crazy camera work makes it even better. There was one shot I was trying to figure out how they did until I found this:

As I am not a studio accountant, I don't much care about the box office. That said, I've felt this was a very strong crop of summer films. This is one of the first years in which people will still remember some of the films that came out this year a decade later. Most summer films are disposable trash, quickly forgotten. This year, there were some films we might actually look back fondly on.

This Summer has had some great tentpole movies, but the second tier films are severely lacking.
Big movies I would recommend:
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
X-Men: Days of Future Past
22 Jump Street
Edge of Tomorrow
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
How to Train Your Dragon 2
Second Tier I would recommend:
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Chef
Fading Gigolo
