Movies in May 2019

Hey everyone,

It's time for May's movie discussion but before we get started let me know which movies you watched back in April! We wen't over several up-coming films in last months thread but the big one for me was Avengers End game!

I thoroughly enjoyed the film! It had some great character moments, lots of action and nicely concluded the last 10 years of Marvel movies. I would 100% recommend.

Coming up in May the first movie on my watch list is John Wick Chapter 3 - Parabellum, which sees the out of retirement hitman on the run from his former colleagues and is a must watch for action fans!

Next up is some sci fi in the form of Life Like, the story of a life like robot which starts to surpass the restrictions of it's programing.

Brightburn is a twisted version of the Superman story but this time he's a psychopath rather then earths mightiest hero! Definitely one to check out if the recent flood of comic book films has grown stale.

Set in the same universe and the recent Godzilla and king Kong movies, Godzilla: King of the Monsters follows the heroic efforts of the cryptozoological agency Monarch as its members face off against a battery of god sized monsters

The final movie to keep an eye out for is Ma, a psychological horror-thriller where a lonely woman who befriends a group of teenagers is not what she seems.

A good mix of action, sci fi and horror cominig up in May! Which films are you most excited for next month? Let us know below!

For me it's definitely Life Like, Brightburn, Godzilla: King of the Monsters and Ma. I'm into horror/monster films, Sci-fi and psychological thrillers.

Not seen any of the John Wick films as I'm not a fan of Keanu Reeves, who I find a rather wooden actor. That said, I do love action movies, so may watch the first in the series to see if it's worth viewing the second and the latest. And I did enjoy Constantine, where Reeves was okay, so may enjoy him in his John Wick persona.

@TallTrees yes it's worth seeing what can go wrong with Robots before you invite them in!

I'm very excited for the latest John Wick instalment @MI5. Do you prefer the first or second film so far?

Plenty for the horror and sci fi fans this month @Glory1. I think you'd like John Wick if you enjoy a sold, well choreographed action movie.

Now I do like a solid, well choreographed action movie @Martin-O2 so fully intend to give John Wick a viewing. I can overlook Keanu Reeves' acting, or lack thereof, for a good action flick. I managed to enjoy Constantine even with him in the lead role, though him being cast as the lead did initially put me off.

The originals are always the best ones @Martin-O2

I enjoyed the John Wick films so I'm really looking forward to the third one in the series.

Would agree that Endgame was a great way to conclude the last 10 years @Martin-O2.
Not sure I will be back at the cinema for any of these, but on the watch list will be John Wick, Godzilla and Brightburn for sure.
Life Like will probably also be added at some point.
Surprised there is no mention for Detective Pikachu, Aladdin or Rocketman which (according to Wikipedia) are also out in May.

Let me know what you think once you've watched it @Glory1 ! I agree Keanu Reeves can be a bit wooden but I've always enjoyed his movies. Constantine was decent. Did you ever watch the TV adaptation?

I agree @MI5 Sequels can be great but rarely surpass the original.

Sinister is the best word for it @TallTrees ! I'm looking forward to seeing that one!

Same here @jonsie. I really like how they expanded the shadowy world of the hitmen.

@gmarkj I definitely need to watch Endgame a few more times but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

You're right I missed a few potential gems there! I'm mostly interested in Detective Pikachu out of the 3 you mentioned.
