    Transformers: Dark of the Moon
    An improvement on Transformers 2, but then what isn't? To paraphrase the Bard, it's a tale, full of sound and fury and extremely stupid dialogue and nonsensical plotting and preposterous stunts and robots punching each other's heads off, signifying nothing.

    Green Street Hooligans
    A surprisingly rose-tinted look at a subculture that really should have been stamped out some time ago.

    Child's Play
    Making a killer-doll movie out of decent component parts should have been child’s play, but this misses the mark.

    Now You See Me 2
    It’s an impressively starry cast, but sadly, this lacks the charm, wit and, yes, magic of the original. You’ll like it, not a lot.

    Big Game
    Destined to be a big drinking game — take a sip when Broadbent bites his sandwich — but little else, this feels like a major missed opportunity.

    Birth of the Dragon
    Almost certainly the second worst thing to happen to Bruce Lee, this toothless and tame movie doesn’t even come close to capturing the great man’s dangerous charisma.

    Geostorm
    Yes, Geostorm is bad, but it’s not a stinker for the ages.

    RoboCop
    There’s nothing wrong, of course, with sci-fi films asking Big Questions, but the delivery doesn’t have to be — should never be, in fact — this tedious.

    The Big White
    Utterly implausible and clunkily directed. Rent "Fargo" instead.

    The Legend of Tarzan
    Not so much a ripping yarn, more of a dripping yarn, Yates’ reinterpretation of the Lord Of The Jungle is a big disappointment.

    Resident Evil: Apocalypse
    The chief horror here is the cliffhanger promising a third instalment.

    The Meg
    Shark. Weak.

    Bullet to the Head
    Fun in parts, and Stallone's always watchable, but it's an '80s tribute movie that coasts along on rapidly diminishing goodwill. Beige Heat, if you will.

    Miss Congeniality 2: Armed & Fabulous
    There are films that demand sequels, and then there's Miss Congeniality.

    Keeping Up with the Joneses
    An unfortunate misfire that has the odd moment of charm and the odder chuckle, but otherwise isn’t worth keeping up with.

    Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga
    The votes are in, and it’s official: this largely unfunny paean to Eurovision is a waste of some serious talent. At least some of the songs are decent.

    Transporter 3
    Incoherent and inconsistent, this is a step back for Statham in his quest to become more than a cult figure.

    AVPR: Aliens vs Predator - Requiem
    An early but strong contender for worst movie of 2008.

    Eragon
    Technically competent, but essentially a fantasy movie that mistakes industrial light for magic. As dragon movies go, Dragonslayer, Reign Of Fire and even Dragonheart can rest easy.

    The Invention of Lying
    Proof that when you aim for the stars, sometimes you find a black hole. Hopefully just an anomaly for the usually wonderful Gervais.

    Project X
    Witless, charmless, teen twaddle. Let's take all prints off the film, and bury them. Don't bother marking the spot with an X.
