Of all the months that make up this year’s blockbuster-filled summer movie season, May might be the most deserving of top billing. Not only does it kick off the popcorn season for film fans—who are likely to turn out in a big way in 2022 after two years of a pandemic-driven downturn at the cineplex—but May also happens to host some of this year’s most anticipated titles. That includes the latest Marvel offering (Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness), Tom Cruise’s long-awaited return to the skies with Top Gun: Maverick, and a pair of TV-to-film transfers in Downton Abbey: A New Era and The Bob’s Burgers Movie. Keep reading to get a closer look at these films as well as the rest of May’s most worthwhile titles.

Kelly Macdonald (Holmes & Watson)What the fuck did she ever do to you?
I think the writers here occasionally like to have a little fun to the credits.
Succession, Downton, and Mass listed for the other actors, and Kelly Macdonald gets Holmes and Watson. Not Gosford, or No Country, or Brave. Holmes and Watson. Pretty harsh.
Flawlessly campy? It was just a dull misfire.
Another Firestarter, eh? Since superhero movies are buzzy now, I wouldn’t be surprised if this horror remake tried to work that angle in.
*movie wastes no time equating her to a superhero*
Unlike that gripping Pet Sematary remake, right?How anyone could fuck up one of King’s scariest and most straightforward novels is beyond me.
Baby you can chive my car to the theaters.
That Rebel Wilson in high school movie had better explain how a 37 year-old is allowed to enroll in a high school or why a GED won’t work. Also, this fitter Rebel Wilson looks like a blonde Shawnee Smith and now I can’t unsee it.
It’s all part of Billy Madison Act of 1995.
this fitter Rebel Wilson looks like a blonde Shawnee Smith and now I can’t unsee it.Archer’s “Cocaine Pam” is the comparison I hear a lot.
They’ve released the opening credits!
I just can’t seem to suspend my disbelief that someone who went from age 17 to age 27 in the blink of an eye would react this way to losing 20 years of their life. That’s a horror movie, not a comedy.

Annihilation is in no way superior to Ex Machina.
