14 Predictions For Next Summer's Biggest Movies

9. The Incredibles 2 Is The Summer's Best-Reviewed Movie

The Prediction: Pixar's long-awaited superhero sequel isn't just the best-reviewed comic book film of the summer, but the best-reviewed summer blockbuster, period. Hardly an out-there prediction, really, especially with writer-director Brad Bird returning and having an absolute goldmine of material to satirise with the superhero movie explosion of the last decade.

Why It Might Not Happen: It's important to remember that Pixar's famous winning streak ended quite a while ago, and the company's last true classic animation was 2015's Inside Out, while their three subsequent projects have ranged from solidly good (Finding Dory) to disappointing (The Good Dinosaur).

Plus, outside of the Toy Story series, Pixar hasn't delivered an unambiguously great sequel, so this would certainly be a major exception.
