2009 Movie Drought

There is a freaking movie drought this summer. Slowly but surely, movies have declined in quality, especially this year. Nobody seems to notice, but it happened. Summer 2009 has the least amount of blockbuster, quality, or even cult movies. There are always movies to look out for that are hyped in the summer. There is a lot of anticipation for these movies because the summer has always been reserved for the best movies. The best ones of the year are supposed to be here, but there haven’t been any real summer blockbusters or critically acclaimed movies. The only acceptation is the new Star Trek, which is the highest rated and highest grossing film of the year. The great movies of the summer were supposed to be Wolverine Origins, Star Trek, Terminator Salvation, G.I Joe, and Transformers 2 (and I’m not counting comedies or family movies because their are not worth the movie theatre experience). That’s the entire list of anticipated movies, sure to be seen, sure to be good. But by June all but Transformers & G.I. Joe has been released and most of these movies have been somewhat disappointments. There it is: one good movie out of the very few movies this summer. If these are the best there is to offer, it’s going to be a bad year.
