  1. Despicable Me 3
    This is a mild return to franchise form, which is like saying that one of the descending plane’s jets started working again. Despicable? No. Deal-able? Sure.
  2. xXx: Return of Xander Cage
    While he has a decent enough handle on the right tone for the proceedings, Caruso’s action sequences are slapdash to the point of incoherence.
  3. Wind River
    Wind River is also a potent example of how form isn’t always enough when the story is as frequently unnerving for unintentional reasons as it is for the horrors it aims to present.
  4. Falling
    Despite great direction by Mortensen, who also delivers a strong performance alongside Henriksen and (briefly) Linney, Falling is a repetitive and exhausting exercise that never gets around to unpacking why the audience should care about its ailing patriarch character. It’s too long and too one note for too little pay-off.
  5. Downsizing
    Payne’s heart might have been in the right place with this one, but the execution feels flippant at best.
  6. The Nowhere Inn
    Try as it might to blend the music-conscious idiosyncrasies of Portlandia with the varied persona of one of our weirdest, most valued artists, The Nowhere Inn ends up going, well, nowhere.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Hardcore Henry
    The film starts to risk adrenaline fatigue after the first hour.
  11. 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.
    • 38 Metascore

    Men in Black: International
    Sure, it’s a thrilling ride, but it’s also as memorable as a 75-second roller coaster.
  13. Lady and the Tramp
    This version of Lady and the Tramp actually lacks the thematic complexity of its ’50s inspiration.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping
    A lot of fandom went into this, but Popstar is relentless to the point where it eventually becomes plodding.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. Last Flag Flying
    It’s a treacly slog that’s regretfully forgettable.
  26. Phantasm: Ravager
    Phantasm: Ravager will disappoint the uninitiated, but those who are loyal will find enough to love.
  27. 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.
  28. Jane Got a Gun
    "Jane" eventually comes alive, even if Jane never truly does.
  29. 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.
  30. White Boy Rick
    White Boy Rick is a collection of interesting enough scenes in desperate need of a more cohesive framework.
