    Griff the Invisible
    Struggles heroically, but unsuccessfully, to strike a balance between whimsy and pathos.

    7 Days in Entebbe
    Based on true events, 7 Days in Entebbe pulls off the difficult trick of making terrorism boring.

    Live by Night
    Still, it’s worth seeing for Affleck’s charismatic performance and for its vision of America as a land of greed, violence and political expediency that some moviegoers will find all too familiar.

    The Greatest Showman
    Highly enjoyable while you’re watching it, but it’s not particularly memorable.

    Tomb Raider
    Director Roar Uthaug (“The Wave”) delivers a state-of-the-art popcorn flick that’s at its best when the focus is on the spunky Lara rather than the special effects.

    One Day
    One Day fails to make us care about the young couple at its center.

    Admission
    Admission is one film you may not want to get into.

    I Feel Pretty
    I Feel Pretty takes a while to get going, but it eventually finds its groove and proves to be an amusing showcase for Schumer’s talents.

    The Mountain Between Us
    Winslet deftly balances spunkiness and vulnerability, and Elba (still fondly remembered as a surprisingly erudite criminal on HBO’s “The Wire”) exudes brooding masculinity.

    Dancing Across Borders
    Would have benefited from the kind of objectivity that Bass -- as Sar's well-heeled sponsor -- was hardly in a position to deliver.

    In the Heart of the Sea
    An oddly uninvolving adventure story.
    • 47 Metascore

    I Saw the Light
    If you’re interested in Williams and his music, this film is better than nothing — but not by much.
    • 46 Metascore

    Wonder Wheel
    Like the fairground ride for which it’s named, Wonder Wheel is entertaining but not enlightening.
    • 46 Metascore

    Now You See Me 2
    Working from a screenplay by Ed Solomon, director Jon M. Chu is more craftsman than poet, but the charismatic ensemble cast engages in the trickery with style.
    • 46 Metascore

    How Do You Know
    A bit slow to get started, and it's nowhere near as funny as "The Hangover." But it'll make you smile.

    Rebel in the Rye
    This is a movie that Holden would have skipped.
    • 46 Metascore

    Knight and Day
    An action comedy that works. But it’s also a surprisingly poignant romance. This is the summer flick you’ve been waiting for.
    • 46 Metascore

    Life of the Party
    Working from a screenplay that he co-wrote with McCarthy, director Ben Falcone (who happens to be her husband) keeps things moving but without much of a spark.
    • 45 Metascore

    Justice League
    This is a generic, uninspired and mind-bogglingly boring comic-book movie that’s out to steal your money and time.
    • 45 Metascore

    Rampage
    Clearly, this is a star vehicle — and the eminently likable Johnson is unquestionably a star. Through sheer force of personality, he elevates Rampage into something reasonably entertaining.
    • 44 Metascore

    The Miracle Season
    It’s downright depressing to see Oscar winners Hunt and Hurt struggling to make something meaningful out of their superficially written characters.

    Pacific Rim: Uprising
    Tickets to Pacific Rim Uprising should come with a package of aspirin.

    A Good Old Fashioned Orgy
    Sitting through A Good Old Fashioned Orgy is like being monopolized by the most irritating person at a really boring party.
    • 44 Metascore

    Faster
    Plays as if Tillman studied the works of director Michael Mann ("Heat"), but got a C on the final exam.

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
    As potential blockbusters go, Batman v Superman is neither as stupid nor as stupendous as it might have been.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 63 Calvin Wilson
    Dear John
    Fulfills its mission, which is to be a crowd-pleasing tearjerker.
    • 42 Metascore

    Office Christmas Party
    This party is a dud.
    • 42 Metascore

    Inferno
    Don’t get burned by Inferno.

    Daddy's Home
    If you’re looking for a film that’s just about guaranteed to make you feel good, you’d be well advised to drop by Daddy’s Home.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 75 Calvin Wilson
    Suburbicon
    Suburbicon is a flawed attempt at dark comedy, but it’s hardly the disaster that critical buzz would have you believe.
