  1. Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom
    Momoa’s raw on-screen energy remains infectious even in the driest scenes, and Wan does wring a real sense of human connection out of the scenes between Momoa and Wilson, whose tempestuous fraternal bond is the emotional core of the film.
  2. Trash Fire
    Neither Bates Jr.’s assured direction nor the strength of the performances can salvage the narrative, which feels overly convoluted and spackled far too much finery.
  3. Crown Heights
    As a Big Message movie about the racism inherent in the criminal justice system, Crown Heights succeeds admirably enough. As an effective drama, however, the film is frustrating in its unwillingness to engage with its characters beyond its broader strokes.
  4. Hardcore Henry
    The film starts to risk adrenaline fatigue after the first hour.
  5. Joker: Folie à Deux
    Phillips’s sequel proves to be a muddled love story that falls apart due to its inability to express anything thematically substantial or original.

    Men in Black: International
    Sure, it’s a thrilling ride, but it’s also as memorable as a 75-second roller coaster.
  7. Lady and the Tramp
    This version of Lady and the Tramp actually lacks the thematic complexity of its ’50s inspiration.
  8. Personal Shopper
    Personal Shopper might be a failed, if noble, attempt at transcending genre, but you’ll leave psyched to see what its star does next.
  9. Insidious: The Last Key
    Robitel and Whannel are still too bound to the franchise here to make something truly original, but The Last Key will make you grip your armrest, squint your eyes, and prepare for the worst. Sometimes, that’s enough.
  10. Aladdin
    Aladdin could wind up working well for young audiences yet again. For everyone else, however, it’s a bland copy of a lush original. It has the same themes and characters, but without the heart or nuance, despite being 38 minutes longer.
  11. Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping
    A lot of fandom went into this, but Popstar is relentless to the point where it eventually becomes plodding.
  12. Jason Bourne
    There’s just not a lot of weight to this sequel, at least not enough to dissuade anyone from seeing this as anything but a limpid cash grab.
  13. Patti Cake$
    Patti Cake$ is a rags-to-riches story that too often comes off as a carbon copy of other, similar rags-to-riches stories.
  14. Brahman Naman
    Brahman Naman is like a crispy Samosa with nothing at the center. The Netflix release, directed by Qaushiq Mukherjee, pays homage to American sex comedies from Porky’s and Revenge of the Nerds to There’s Something About Mary, but lacks the heart to go along with the excess of raunch.
  15. Juliet, Naked
    Juliet, Naked could have been great. Hawke and Byrne do have a chemistry, but they’re always on a separate bill, to crib from the musical theme. Even worse is the ensemble of supporting characters, which tends to be the strongest facet of any Hornby adaptation.
  16. The Death of Dick Long
    The Death of Dick Long offers its share of amusing dark comedy, but the film leans too much on Alabama stereotypes and inherently stupid character decisions to advance the plot.
  17. The Highwaymen
    It’s a valid mission, one supposes, but rendering Bonnie, Clyde, and their cultural impact in such a one-dimensional fashion doesn’t add weight to its subjects. It only serves to strip dimension away from their own story.
  18. The Nutcracker and the Four Realms
    For a film that looks this wacky, it’s a shame that The Nutcracker and the Four Realms is ultimately pretty boring.
  19. Last Flag Flying
    It’s a treacly slog that’s regretfully forgettable.
  20. Phantasm: Ravager
    Phantasm: Ravager will disappoint the uninitiated, but those who are loyal will find enough to love.
  21. Bleed for This
    Despite Pazienza’s own pitfalls and perils, the film never registers as anything more than a boilerplate boxing drama, which is a shame because the material is all there, it’s just hamstrung by a flimsy screenplay that refuses to let its characters exist on their own.
  22. Jane Got a Gun
    "Jane" eventually comes alive, even if Jane never truly does.
  23. Snatched
    It’s still a reasonably funny movie when it hits its marks. It’s just a funny movie prone to going to some ugly, barren wells for laughs throughout as well.
  24. White Boy Rick
    White Boy Rick is a collection of interesting enough scenes in desperate need of a more cohesive framework.
  25. Eddie the Eagle
    Eddie the Eagle trips plenty, but Eddie, insufferable as he may be, represents the people that in spite of failure being visible at the bottom of a 90-meter ski drop, still take that leap.
  26. Girlfriend's Day
    Too often Girlfriend’s Day feels like it’s making things up as it goes along, unafraid to introduce another contrived plot device because there are no real rules preventing it from doing so.
  27. The Great Wall
    For Yimou’s colors alone, and one particularly striking set piece set in a kaleidoscopic stained-glass tower, The Great Wall may be worth the price of admission.
  28. The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind
    To commend The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind is reasonably easy. Here’s a film that’s pro-science, and sheds new light on a world that Western audiences don’t normally see. But it’s all so dramatically meager and obvious as well.
  29. Belladonna of Sadness (1973)
    For a film that takes such pains to position itself within the feminist tradition, Belladonna of Sadness has a bad habit of lingering on the body of its protagonist, coming across as more pornographic than progressive, more exploitative than revolutionary.
  30. Taken
    However handsomely and efficiently staged, the actual action in this action movie feels immaterial. It’s a foregone conclusion that Mills is going to get his daughter back, no matter what obstacles are thrown in his way.
