Before Ultron brings destruction to Earth, before the dinosaur park finally opens to the public, before we see how the emotions of a little girl interact, before Ethan Hunt goes on another impossible mission, before Reed Richards, Johnny & Sue Storm & Ben Grimm get a reboot, before Scott Lang gets shrunk down, before a teddy bear attempts to become a parent, before Vincent Chaster, Eric, Turtle, Johnny & Ari Gold get the big screen treatment, before Stuart, Bob and Kevin go it alone without the Despicable one, before Sarah Connor tries to stop Judgement Day.....again, before we witness what happened to Max before Thunderdome, before Magic Mike gives us more moves, before an orphan discovers his destiny in Neverland, before a teenage girl and a reclusive genius journey to Tomorrowland, before the Bellas reunite, and before Earth is invaded by 80's video game characters.....the Spring season of movies come to a close this year.

I'm impressed with what they've done with teh F&F franchise. They have turned it from a rather formulaic series about outlaw car racing to an interesting hybrid of Ocean's 11 and Mission Impossible.

I have to say, the commercials I have seen for Unfriended make it look like the dumbest movie of all time. It makes me wonder if Adam Sandler is secretly a member of the cast.
