  1. Song to Song
    Put simply, Song to Song lacks the soul of Malick’s best work.
  2. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
    The film may deliver the spectacle of dinosaurs body-slamming other dinosaurs with their mouths, but that’s about all that connects Fallen Kingdom to the wonder and fright of the original film. As a horror movie, it’s diverting enough when it’s not continuously shooting itself in the foot with ideas it can’t explain and doesn’t care to.
  3. Alice Through the Looking Glass
    It’s a classic case of sequel bloat, a film that seems to exist less because of any extended story it wants or needs to tell than because it must repackage something that was once popular.
  4. The Fundamentals of Caring
    It’s true that few movies are this aw-shucks nice these days, and for a short while The Fundamentals of Caring finds ways of retaining that kindness without lapsing into platitudes.
  5. Handling the Undead
    Unfortunately, the 99-minute run time on Norwegian zombie drama Handling the Undead feels infinitely longer, and lands more as a meditation on grief than an intriguing entry into zombie cinema.
  6. The Strangers: Prey at Night
    Simply put, Prey at Night sacrifices its own identity to drench horror audiences in throwback familiarity.
  7. What Happened to Monday
    The steam runs out fast with one generic chase after the next, forgettable gunplay, and gory violence. Its ham-fisted double crosses and half-baked moral dilemmas amount to little.
  8. Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald
    Good actors can’t make up for narrative inconsistency. Beasts can’t erase the frustration of seeing characters you love behave in ways that make no sense. One can forgive retconning backstory where it doesn’t belong if it feels true to the fictional world you love. That doesn’t happen here.
  9. Daddy's Home 2
    Daddy’s Home 2 wants points for exploring the ever-expanding family tree in a Christmas comedy, but it only barely succeeds. Lithgow’s delightful grandpa offers a welcome diversion from the madness, but those moments are as fleeting as the plate of cookies left out for Santa on Christmas Eve.
  10. Bushwick
    If it never fully realizes the horrors of its prescient setup, it’s nevertheless effective in fits and starts.
  11. Fighting with My Family
    Between its continuous insistence on broad humor and its lack of broader context about the industry period in which Paige came up (she was among the first womens’ wrestlers in WWE to break out when the division gained traction after years of public degradation), Fighting With My Family ultimately reveals itself as a shallow take on a genuinely fascinating story.
  12. Super Troopers 2
    Super Troopers 2 amounts to nothing more than a limp reunion tour where they seem to feel obligated to play the hits.
  13. Captain Fantastic
    Captain Fantastic loses its intriguing premise in a muddle of ideas about the redemptive power of family and the right of all people to live as they please.
  14. Maze Runner: The Death Cure
    Director Wes Ball frames the film as one long siege on the central city with few exceptions, and while that lends it a certain sense of momentum, after a while the sensation of watching it turns into one of checking off boxes
  15. Otherhood
    Nominal laughs plus three reliable actresses equals the very mediocre Otherhood.
  16. The Mummy
    Unfortunately, The Mummy’s true curse is that it’s doomed to sacrifice its moments of fun, breezy spectacle for overwrought world-building.
  17. Ride Along 2
    Hart, the firecracker that he is, has a fitting comedic (and crime-fighting) partner out there somewhere. But it’s not in the Ride Along series.
  18. Dirty Grandpa
    If for one second you forget the diverging script, the weak direction, and Efron’s limitations, there’s something to be amused by with De Niro’s flagrantly foul-mouthed, horned-up grandfather figure.
  19. V/H/S: Viral
    Although it’s by far the weakest of the three, there are some genuinely creative moments that spark the brain and fry the hairs.
  20. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
    It’s visually sumptuous, a heady blend of Burton’s usual broken-doll aesthetic and some seriously impressive visual effects. And most importantly, while long, it’s rarely boring. The bad: It simply doesn’t add up to much.
  21. Proud Mary
    Henson, ever the magnetic performer, elevates so much of Najafi’s boilerplate direction with sheer presence alone; while the film consistently suffers from the tendency to bathe nearly every scene in maudlin strings and over-exposition, the actress manages to convey multitudes about Mary’s interiority with little more than a sustained gaze.
  22. Suicide Squad
    For all of the film’s nonstop, aggressive insistence on its subversive qualities, it’s about as radical and unconventional as a teenager buying a Leftover Crack shirt with their mom’s credit card from Amazon.
  23. Extraction
    If you’re looking for a lean-and-mean action picture where Chris Hemsworth absolutely bodies dozens of disposable henchmen, Extraction might fit the bill, at least for its first hour.
  24. The Girl on the Train
    The film’s flaws aside (those will come later), Blunt’s performance is a hell of a thing, wholly lacking in vanity and brimming with honest, ugly feeling.
  25. Once Upon a Deadpool
    Once Upon a Deadpool doesn’t offer nearly enough new gags to justify its cheeky family-cut re-release. Sure, the bits they add are great – Fred Savage’s hostage situation with Deadpool should have been a cool third of the film – but in the end, it’s a retread as limp as one of Wade Wilson’s re-growing limbs.
  26. Mortal Engines
    As with any number of popular YA novels-turned-feature films, Mortal Engines has a wealth of possibilities and curious ideas at its disposal. Instead, it tears past them in pursuit of some of the subgenre’s most exhausted narrative tropes, chewing up everything engaging as it grinds along.
  27. Blumhouse's Truth or Dare
    Unfortunately, the good stuff comes not only too late, but is more or less undone by a head-scratcher of an ending.
  28. The Snowman
    The end result is a finished product which smacks of Universal optioning a hot Scandi novel, losing enthusiasm for it during development and production, and leaving audiences with the remaining carrots and coal.
  29. Tyler Perry's Acrimony
    That the film never fully gets to the heart of its savage commentaries is probably its greatest disappointment.
  30. The Outsider
    It’s clichéd, distant, afraid to truly immerse itself in anything but long looks, but at least it looks good. And that’s that.
