    Borat Subsequent Moviefilm
    A stupid film made by very smart people, Subsequent Moviefilm has a noble intent at odds with the loathsome figures that populate it. It’s never quite as gut-bustingly funny as the 2006 original, but you get the sense that wasn’t what Cohen was going for. By simply holding a mirror up to the rampant hypocrisy, division and hatred across America and giving bigots the rope to hang themselves, Borat feels more relevant and necessary than ever.

    Superman
    It may not be a perfect movie, but in a word, it’s pretty super.

    Crimes of the Future
    Sex, violence and surgery: the king of body horror is back, but the script could do with a scalpel.

    Creed II
    Blow for blow Creed 2 is a closer match for its heavyweight predecessors than anyone dared hope. Transparently formulaic at times – but boy will it get your blood pumping.

    The Kid Who Would Be King
    It may not dazzle as much as Attack the Block, but Cornish’s second feature is a fun family adventure.

    The Boy and the Beast
    The burgeoning bond between man and monster hits soaring emotional heights, even if the new world feels a little under-developed.

    Alien: Covenant
    Sharper, meaner, and meatier than Prometheus, Covenant's weak narrative drive stalls its brutal good intentions.

    Elvis
    The toe-tapping beats of this full-throated biopic will be familiar in more ways than one but Baz Luhrmann, like Elvis, knows how to put on a great show. Butler’s Best Actor chatter starts here.

    Borg vs. McEnroe
    A superior sports biopic with a never-better LaBeouf? You cannot be serious! But it only fully gets to grips with the ice-cool Swede.

    In the Earth
    Ben Wheatley goes back to basics for a pandemic chiller where Covid is the last thing to be afraid of.

    Beau Is Afraid
    Like many an auteur filmmaker’s passion project, it’s a huge swing that doesn’t always fully connect, and one that undoubtedly peaks too soon. But at a time when safe-bet sequels, franchise extensions and movies built on brand recognition are more prevalent than ever, the fact that something so singular exists and succeeds on its own terms is something to be celebrated.

    Kong: Skull Island
    Derivative and a little dumb but consistently fun: there’s personality and panache to spare in this monster blockbuster.

    Una
    Incendiary storytelling with nuanced performances, but the transition from stage to screen lacks focus.
    • 61 Metascore

    Avatar: Fire and Ash
    The most action-packed Avatar yet still has the capacity to dazzle, with Oona Chaplin's Varang turning up the heat. Even if a frustrating lack of resolution and some repetitive storytelling choices make this feel more like The Way of Water part 2.

    Three Thousand Years of Longing
    George Miller combines myth, magic, and romance to mixed effect in a visually dazzling adult fairytale starring a committed Swinton and Elba.

    Little Monsters
    Proving there’s life in the zom-com yet, Forsythe’s down under rib-tickler might just be 2019’s funniest film.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 100 Jordan Farley
    Joker
    More character study than comic book movie, and anchored by an Oscar-worthy Joaquin Phoenix, Joker is a bravura blockbuster that proves you don’t need superpowered scraps to dazzle.

    F9: The Fast Saga
    Justin Lin gets the series back on track with Fast and Furious 9 by delving into the past while racing into the future. See it on the biggest, loudest screen possible.

    Thor: Love and Thunder
    Unashamedly absurd, wildly entertaining and face-achingly funny, Love And Thunder makes Ragnarok look like Bresson. Another classic Thor adventure.

    Zack Snyder's Justice League
    Though suffering from its own shortcomings, Zack Snyder’s gargantuan Justice League is a commendable improvement on the widely derided original. Stock up on snacks.

    Terminator: Dark Fate
    Dark Fate gets more right than it gets wrong (just about, anyway), and there’s an undeniable thrill in seeing Hamilton and Schwarzenegger reunited onscreen for the first time in almost three decades. But this fourth attempt at crafting a worthy sequel to James Cameron’s peerless sci-fi double bill only just gets passing marks.

    Prisoners of the Ghostland
    Prisoners of the Ghostland exists entirely outside the norms and conventions of moviemaking. Really there’s only one word to describe it: nuts.
    • 50 Metascore

    The Hunt
    A late fight scene is staged with verve, and Gilpin is good value in an underwritten role. But given the politically fractious times we live in, this inane satire is a colossal missed opportunity.

    Goon: Last of the Enforcers
    Earnest intentions may be behind this bawdy yet heartfelt sport-quel, but it’s a largely unnecessary rematch.

    Sonic the Hedgehog
    A relic of the ’90s in more ways than one, Sonic offers frenetic fun for younger viewers, and in Jim Carrey’s preposterous Robotnik an enjoyable shot of nostalgia for adults.

    Mortal Kombat II
    A bloody fun second round, Mortal Kombat 2 creatively resets the series for the better. Karl Urban adds irreverent energy as a post-Deadpool Johnny Cage, while the all-important fights mostly deliver the goods. A step up from 2021’s bizarrely tournament-less Mortal Kombat that lands some killer blows, but it’s far from a flawless victory.

    The Meg
    Living up to its billing as the most ridiculous film of the summer, The Meg is one to laugh at rather than with. Instantly forgettable, but undeniably fun.
    • 46 Metascore

    Joker: Folie à Deux
    Part courtroom movie, part behind-bars romance, Folie à Deux is an unconventional musical sequel that fails to hit the high notes.
    • 45 Metascore

    Justice League
    Justice League’s most significant shortcoming is how forgettable it all is. There’s barely a moment that sticks, not a single sequence to rival the standout superhero set-pieces of recent years.
