    Don't Look Up
    If McKay crafted the most enjoyable parts of his satire with a scalpel, somebody should’ve handed him a machete to chop the script down some. The film clocks in at nearly two hours and 10 minutes, and we grow exhausted by it as the surprises stop and the ending becomes inevitable.

    What Men Want
    Instead of smarts, we get farts. The movie is packed with gross body and sex humor, reductive characters (the gay assistant, the boss who should be fired) and delusions of insight. And Henson’s likable performance is so overblown, it could be sponsored by Red Bull.

    The Gray Man
    You simply cannot believe you’re staring at megastars — so sapped of individuality and charisma they are. My barista could have been cast as the lead of this action-thriller, and the film would be absolutely no different.

    Bohemian Rhapsody
    "Rhapsody” has a shallow script, oversize performances and looks like it was shot in a sauna.

    Bullet Train
    Bullet Train is a fun flick, to be sure, reminiscent of director Guy Ritchie’s better crime comedies such as “The Gentlemen” with Hugh Grant. But, as the title suggests, it’s louder and faster. And, a warning to the squeamish, there’s a swimming pool’s worth of blood.

    Amsterdam
    Amsterdam has every advantage imaginable. Doesn’t matter. It’s the worst movie of the year so far, and I will bow down to whatever comes along and tops it.

    Downhill
    On the whole, the pairing of these two comedy titans is forgettable and slow as an ice age. To put it in skiing parlance: Downhill is pizza-ing when it needs to french-fry.

    Little
    I only wish the Little laughs were bigger.

    Spirit Untamed
    I’d rather put Baby Shark on repeat all day than spend another 90 minutes with this adult horse.

    Spenser Confidential
    Here’s some perfectly mindless couch viewing.

    How to Make a Killing
    Updates are fine for some stories. Not this one, though. Moving the action to a contemporary urban setting is akin to fitting a fairy with cement boots.

    Venom: Let There Be Carnage
    Watching it, unless you’re already a demented diehard fan, is utter agony.

    Greenland 2: Migration
    The inferior second part, short but not nearly short enough, proves just how ill-prepared its creators were for the original’s success.

    Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1
    It’s hard to believe Costner left “Yellowstone” to make such an embarrassing, poorly told mess.

    Escape Room: Tournament of Champions
    The best thing about the Escape Room film series is that it gives audience members clear directions in the title about what they should immediately do: Escape. Room. Get out of that theater and go see Black Widow instead. Run for your lives — and sanity!

    Golda
    Directed by Guy Nattiv, the sluggish film caves to the worst tendencies of forgettable biopics. Mirren is ensconced in prosthetics and a gray wig in hopes that a lookalike transformation can distract from bad writing and a total lack of insight.

    The Predator
    Racially offensive quips, flagrant sexism and Tourette syndrome gags all contribute to this witless, scare-free junk.

    The Protégé
    The Protégé should’ve been a home run for director Martin Campbell, who did brilliantly with Casino Royale, Daniel Craig’s first James Bond film. He brought seriousness to the old franchise without sacrificing its charm or decadence. Instead, we get old clichés.

    Six Minutes to Midnight
    Director Andy Goddard’s film is far too aware of its subject’s peculiarity, and every frame knows full well that something is a bit off.

    TRON: Ares
    Forty-three years later, “Tron: Ares” is groundbreaking for being the first “Tron” film with a discernible plot.

    The Greatest Showman
    The preachy “Showman” argues that Barnum should be celebrated for bringing “freaks” like the bearded lady and others out of the shadows and into his shows, but those characters are sketchily drawn.
