Movies Coming Soon: Summer 2015 edition – Part 2

Having posted my "must-see" movies of this summer a few weeks ago, here's the long-delayed Part 2 where I list down the movies I'm less enthusiastic about. I started this post in April, so a few of these movies are already in cinemas, or have finished their run. But I feel the same about them as I did before, so I've let them remain.

Instant reaction post: “Game of Thrones” S5, Ep8 ‘Hardhome’

And thankfully they didn't dwell on the terrible things that happen in Sansa and Ramsay's bedroom, which made it way easier to stomach.

Going into this episode, I had an inkling of what was going to happen, just from scrolling down my newsfeed and seeing the headlines of news articles, and the pictures they chose to use. It spoilt the surprise a little. Oh well. :( It was horrible. Maybe it's better to be forewarned.

‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ review: Love it, though darker and less exuberant than the first

Half the world -- excluding North America and a few other unlucky foreign markets who only get it after May 1 -- went to watch Avengers: Age of Ultron over the past weekend. If you are the unicorn who intends to but hasn't yet: GO WATCH IT NOW. Because here there be (minor) spoilers, unless you don't mind reading them.
