As the end of the summer season approaches, it is a convenient time to reflect on the films that critics have praised and criticized using Rotten Tomatoes scores.
The summer of 2023 saw the release of two highly anticipated and widely discussed films, both of which were met with critical acclaim. Barbie and Oppenheimer were praised by reviewers, earning positive reception from nearly all sources.
However, Barbenheimer stood out from the rest, as the follow-ups, prequels, remakes, and reboots of summer are often criticized and rarely considered for end-of-year rankings.
Critics’ thoughts on the film were reflected by the Tomatometer.
The Best and Worst Movies of Summer 2024
The critical consensus score on Rotten Tomatoes has been used to create a list of the top movies for summer 2024, arranged in descending order. The list is presented below.
Additionally, we have included a selection of this season’s horror films, many of which achieved impressive box office success (including Longlegs, which even surpassed Neon’s previous record). This begs the question: are horror movies now the reigning summer blockbusters?
- Inside Out 2 (91%)
- Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (90%)
- A Quiet Place: Day One (86%)
- Longlegs (86%)
- I Saw the TV Glow (84%)
- The Fall Guy (82%)
- Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (80%)
- Deadpool & Wolverine (78%)
- Twisters (75%)

- IF (49%)
- The Garfield Movie (36%)
- Harold and the Purple Crayon (26%)
- The Strangers: Chapter 1 (21%)

Despite facing competition from Deadpool & Wolverine’s box office success, Inside Out 2 has proven to be not only the top-rated film of the 2024 summer season, but also one of the most profitable movies in history, earning a whopping $1.46 billion.
Currently, this is the status of summer movies, and we will update with Alien Romulus reviews when they are released this week (August 16).
