With big names like Wolverine, Spider-Man and Iron Man at their disposal, they have dominated the last half-decade of setting the bar high for the beginning of the summer.

I know it’s unrealistic because it’s ultimately a kids movie but part of me wishes Toy Story 3 could have just ended in the dump.
