Such reception was not so for the highly anticipated comic-book adaptation that is Suicide Squad. Directed by Andrew Stanton and Angus MacLane and starring seasoned entertainers like Ellen DeGeneres ( The Ellen Show ) and Ty Burrell ( Modern Family ), the movie grossed $915.7 million and gained fairly favorable reviews from critics. The thirteen-year waiting and development period seems to have paid off: Finding Dory garnered a 94% critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes as well as a 77% on Metacritic.

The much-anticipated sequel to 2003’s Finding Nemo was released on June seventeenth of this year at the start of the season. From animated animal movies to action-packed sequels to superhero movies, the movies of summer 2016 certainly covered the bases in standard summer fare, providing a lighter lead-up to the more anticipated films of the fall and winter. In typical fashion, the major movie studios rolled out their projected mass-appeal movies for a summer lineup that included Finding Dory, Suicide Squad, The Secret Life of Pets, The BFG, Tarzan, and Ghostbusters.
