    Be Cool
    A poorly written, directed and acted imitation of the first. Not funny, not clever and, crucially, not cool.

    The Nut Job
    Endless wordplay and dumb slapstick do not a rewarding animation make. Pun-ishing.

    You Got Served
    If you pay out money to see this, you got fleeced.

    I Am Number Four
    If you can make it through the bland schmaltz of the first half you'll be rewarded with a spectacular blast of sustained action and the promise of even better to come. This could be the start of something great.

    Jumper
    It’s Liman’s least charismatic action movie and the least developed, but it still packs some cracking action into its brief running time and lays foundations on which a great franchise could be built.

    Rumor Has It...
    Inspired by The Graduate it may be, but despite Aniston’s charm, this confused comedy will not be seducing anybody.

    Annie
    A mushy mix of sentiment and some off-key singing lets the air out of this beloved musical's limo tires.

    The 5th Wave
    Everything that comes after the confident, dangerous first half-hour just makes you pine for what could have been as this devolves into ten-a-penny teen-lit sludge.

    Warcraft
    The ambition is laudible, but it's to little end. At once empty and impenetrable, this brings to mind a mix of John Carter and Dungeons And Dragons, regrettably in both themes and level of enjoyment.

    Show Dogs
    If you came for cute canines you’ll get them, but you’d get more entertainment from an hour of dog videos on YouTube.

    A Fantastic Fear of Everything
    It's always trying to do something unusual. It has a great lead in Pegg. What it doesn't have is an ending or a clear reason what it wants to be.

    The Crow
    A turkey in crow’s clothing.

    Hector and the Search for Happiness
    Despite the gusto its star brings to the role, it's hard to ride shotgun on Hector's voyage of discovery.

    Did You Hear About the Morgans?
    Neither good nor bad. Scales dizzying new heights of okay. Aims for mediocrity... and nails it.

    R.I.P.D.
    Confusing and uninspired rather than completely inept, it’s still likely to be swiftly struck from the résumés of all involved.

    Dirty Grandpa
    Even if the film takes a moment to sheepishly acknowledge its more offensive gags, it’s still asking for laughs from them.

    Goal II: Living the Dream
    Filmically it's more of a pleasantly diverting kick about in the park than a 90th minute back-of-the-net at the world cup final.
