"Fast Five" gave the summer movie season an early start with a record box office opening last weekend. Don't burn yourself out on bulging muscles just yet. There's plenty more mindless entertainment in the coming weeks.

Look for more superheroes, sequels and 3D explosions than anybody could possibly want. Here's a rundown of the season's biggest movies, all scored on the totally arbitrary Must See Scale (MSS). A 10 means you should already have a ticket. A 1 means "The Smurfs."

Marvel Comics opens a busy summer with the titular God of Thunder (Chris Hemsworth) banished to Earth to defend against otherworldly ghouls. Natalie Portman co-stars in the well-reviewed adventure. MSS: 8

Something Borrowed

Ginnifer Goodwin and Kate Hudson counter-program with a generic romantic comedy. MSS: 3

May 13

Priest

Graphic novel adaptation about a priest (Paul Bettany) who hunts down vampires not named Edward or Jacob. MSS: 4

Bridesmaids

A Judd Apatow produced comedy that, for once, focuses on the ladies, including Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph and Rose Byrne. MSS: 6

May 20

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Johnny Depp returns for a fourth outing as Captain Jack Sparrow in a storyline that Disney promises is way, way way less convoluted than the last two sequels. MSS: 8

May 27

The Hangover Part II

June 3

X-Men: First Class

The 1960s set prequel focuses on the relationship between a young Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Magneto (Michael Fassbender). Look, it MUST be better than "X-Men Origins: Wolverine." MSS: 6

June 10

Super 8

J.J. Abrams ("Star Trek") directs this science-fiction homage to Steven Spielberg. The 1970s set adventure follows a group of young kids who witness an extraordinary train accident. MSS: 10

Sure-to-be-adorable kid fodder based on the Judy Moody book series. MSS: 3

June 17

Green Lantern

Ryan Reynolds is the DC Comics hero in a film that looks to be more otherworldly than the standard superhero fare. That CGI costume, however, looks terrible. MSS: 6

Mr. Popper's Penguins

Jim Carrey inherits six penguins and starts his own pet detective agency. I mean, probably. MSS: 5

June 24

Cars 2

Pixar's least beloved film gets a sequel, with Lightning McQueen and Mater mistakenly engaged in espionage around the world. Looks fun enough, but some are predicting it could be Pixar's first real disappointment. MSS: 8

Bad Teacher

Cameron Diaz is a foul-mouthed educator in a comedy that is the last thing the teacher's union wants you to see right now. MSS: 6

Expanding in June

A dark comedy that follows three guys who conspire to kill their awful employers. The solid cast includes Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman and "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" MVP Charlie Day. MSS: 8

Zookeeper

Kevin James and talking animals, or "Paul Blart 2: Even Worse Than Ever Thought Possible." MSS: 1

July 15

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

It all (finally) ends here, and it looks incredible. MSS: 10

Winnie the Pooh

Disney returns to the Hundred Acre Wood for this big screen adventure, thankfully created using traditional animation methods. Go Team Eeyore! MSS: 6

July 22

Captain America: The First Avenger

Chris Evans plays the final essential component of Marvel's "Avengers" team. Despite the overall superhero fatigue, this one actually looks pretty fun. MSS: 9

Basically an R-rated "Freaky Friday" with Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds. MSS: 3

August 12

30 Minutes or Less

A comedy about hapless criminals who force a pizza delivery driver to rob a bank in 30 minutes or less. Jesse Eisenberg, Danny McBride and Aziz Ansari lead the cast. MSS: 6

Really? MSS: 1

August 19

Conan the Barbarian

Remake without Arnold Schwarzenegger - nobody cares. MSS: 2

Fright Night

Horror remake that's hopefully elevated by Colin Farrell co-starring as a vampire. MSS: 4

Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World

Nothing to report here. MSS: 1
