    The Death of Robin Hood
    A brutal and bloody (for a while, anyway) showcase for Hugh Jackman hidden beneath a shaggy beard, with not much more to recommend it.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 90 Brian Lowry
    Toy Story 5
    Feels profound while still delivering the requisite laughs and fun.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Brian Lowry
    Disclosure Day
    This middling movie, intriguing but oddly incomplete, plays at best like Spielberg Lite.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 70 Brian Lowry
    Office Romance
    This Netflix movie actually rises above most of the herd, thanks largely to co-writer and co-star Brett Goldstein.

    Scary Movie
    The joke-a-minute formula is very hit-miss.
    • 52 Metascore

    Masters of the Universe
    Masters of the Universe demonstrates how a few missteps can transform an aspiring blockbuster with appealing elements into a streaming-bound 98-pound weakling.

    Miss You, Love You
    It has the feel of a filmed play—transparently intended to land Allison Janney a 16th Emmy nomination and potentially an eighth win.

    The Breadwinner
    A movie that would have at best qualified as about the 17th-best new comedy of 1995.

    Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Ghost War
    Despite an abundance of action, “Jack Ryan: Ghost War” never comes to life.
    • 53 Metascore

    Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu
    There’s a Saturday-matinee-type unpretentiousness about the film that doesn’t really aspire to much more than letting the audience have a good time.

    Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D)
    Given the frequent weeping captured from her die-hard, singing-along fans, 4DX would really be the killer app, approximating the spray of their abundant tears of joy.

    Mortal Kombat II
    Loyalists should be there for the premiere, but after that, one suspects it’s game over.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 80 Brian Lowry
    Remarkably Bright Creatures
    A near-irresistible and highly emotional adaptation of Shelby Van Pelt’s bestselling novel.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 72 Brian Lowry
    The Devil Wears Prada 2
    Those involved are smart enough to recognize what people really want is the warm tidings of a stylish reunion, and in terms of navigating that narrow runway, the movie mostly delivers.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Brian Lowry
    Apex
    A 90-some-odd-minute adrenaline rush that gets stretched out a bit beyond its weight even with its modest running time.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Brian Lowry
    I Swear
    A coming-of-age tale that, without breaking new ground, ranks high among recent entries in its well-worn genre.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 50 Brian Lowry
    Michael
    "Michael" conveys the feeling of a slickly produced licensed product.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 40 Brian Lowry
    Lee Cronin's The Mummy
    The basic premise could have been called “Lee Cronin’s The Exorcist,” although that probably wouldn’t have cleared legal.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 60 Brian Lowry
    You, Me & Tuscany
    Unlike its protagonist, there’s a refreshing lack of guile or pretense here about what this modest but breezy movie is and wants to be.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 40 Brian Lowry
    Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice
    Frankly, I’d begin with having future me warn the present-day version to skip this.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 30 Brian Lowry
    They Will Kill You
    An absurdly stylized action-horror-comedy mashup that somehow makes a satanic cult, wanton violence, and buckets of blood boring.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Brian Lowry
    Project Hail Mary
    Ryan Gosling and a faceless rock creature forge an unlikely bromance in an adaptation of Andy Weir’s novel that manages to be alternately touching, stirring and silly.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 50 Brian Lowry
    Reminders of Him
    The movie rises and falls on Monroe and Withers’ workmanlike performances, leaving it to the heart-tugging subject matter, mostly, to carry it across the finish line.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 40 Brian Lowry
    The Bride!
    The stitched-together concept proves too bizarre and disjointed to catch lightning in a bottle.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Brian Lowry
    Hoppers
    Hoppers certainly has the vibrant feel of a plush-toy merchandising bonanza waiting to happen.
    • 35 Metascore
    • 50 Brian Lowry
    Scream 7
    Deftly serves old wine in an equally old bottle.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Brian Lowry
    Crime 101
    An extremely down-to-earth, character-driven heist movie that in the best ways resembles similar fare from the 1990s.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 40 Brian Lowry
    Wuthering Heights
    Fennell ratchets up the volume to 11, with more emphasis on smoldering and sexuality than literature, at the risk of bastardizing Bronte’s tale beyond recognition.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Brian Lowry
    Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die
    At times the film feels like “Black Mirror” on peyote.
    • 5 Metascore
    • 10 Brian Lowry
    Melania
    Melania fails to yield almost any unguarded moments, so intently focusing on its subject as she walks through venues in high heels as to approximate the feeling of a 104-minute perfume commercial.
