  1. 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.
  2. Otherhood
    Nominal laughs plus three reliable actresses equals the very mediocre Otherhood.
  3. Ben-Hur
    This Ben-Hur is closer to an ‘80s actioner about two men who once loved each other parting ways, only to reunite and settle their differences through vicious means.
  4. Jurassic World Dominion
    It’s probably a bad sign that of all the players in this film, the dinosaurs are probably the ones one roots for the most. They didn’t ask to be revived for a confusing new era filled with cars and pollution and ridiculous celebrity lawsuits! They’re dinosaurs! They’re innocent in all this!"
  5. Murder Mystery
    Murder Mystery is a dud, stained with slack humor and a total unwillingness to play within its own chosen genre.
  6. Hillbilly Elegy
    Hillbilly Elegy does not bring out the best in its cast, and Howard fails to bring the intensity or depth that might make something meaningful. His approach is all after-school special, all the time.
  7. Cell
    Given the absurdity of the premise, Cell isn’t nearly as luridly entertaining as it should be.
  8. Mr. Church
    There’s nothing wrong with melodrama. But in order to break the dishes, movies have to be willing to build tension by holding something back. Mr. Church, however, is all reveal, constantly giving everything away in the most obvious fashion.
  9. Point Blank
    As a narrative, Point Blank’s like a screenplay slammed to the ground, shot repeatedly, and re-assembled with scotch tape and vending machine stickers (likely White Snake band logo iron-ons). It’s flashy. As far as action flicks go, Point Blank’s cool with its low IQ because it’s having fun throwing ‘bows to loud music. It knows what it is.
  10. Baywatch
    When it comes down to it, Baywatch’s central sin is that it’s just…not funny.
  11. My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2
    My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 is about as unmemorable a movie as you’ll find in 2016. Everything about it, from Vardalos’ screenplay to the limp retreads of the first Greek Wedding’s better moments, stinks of an extended HBO special that somehow made its way to theaters.
  12. Serenity
    Serenity is often stylish. It is never, ever dull. It is also deeply stupid.
  13. Fist Fight
    What’s most unfortunate about Fist Fight is the wealth of talent it amasses for little to no discernible purpose.
  14. Red Notice
    If you don’t mind your action comedies laced with a bit of meta, Red Notice is a treat.
  15. True Memoirs of an International Assassin
    It’s damnable with faint praise. It’s too cheap to be thrilling, and too earnest to be all that offensive. Mired in clichés. Mostly flat. A weak Spy. Only Kevin James diehards need apply.
  16. The Cloverfield Paradox
    It’s weird, intermittently amusing gobbledygook that should help a drowsy weekday night pass a bit quicker. Unfortunately, mediocrity won’t do much for the Cloverfield brand, which set a high bar for itself with 10 Cloverfield Lane.
  17. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
    Is it a ride that includes clear story structure, comprehensible stakes, or narrative momentum? Not really. Is it a ride featuring a lot of bright colors, familiar characters, and the occasional deranged moment? Absolutely.
  18. Under the Cherry Moon
    Like Prince’s music, perhaps this film is best taken in for its sensation and not its literal output. That, and the dialogue is just ridiculous. But Prince looks cool, owns his story’s loose ideology of churlish change, and stages some marvelously ornate shots.
  19. How It Ends
    How It Ends ends with something of a whimper, leaving us feeling as if a compelling story was undercut by being told through its least interesting characters.
  20. Assassin's Creed
    What saves this head-scratching, relentlessly portentous movie is what also saves the games: the action is on point.
  21. Special Correspondents
    As a comedian, Gervais hardly lacks a sharp perspective. The Office showed him to be a merciless satirist of workplace culture. But when it comes to international politics, the comedian lacks the keen insight to say anything that hasn’t already been said by other filmmakers.
  22. Naked
    Sure, it may be a little rote, and even thrifty, but it offers more than enough yuks to earn its way into your Netflix queue.
  23. Lucy in the Sky
    The film has spent so much time telegraphing its own depth that it forgets to create any, and thus when that wig arrives, we have no reason to view it as anything other than ridiculous.
  24. Action Point
    The movie is reasonably successful in its own modest way; its interests go no further than offering a handful of pratfall-driven laughs, and a few lessons about kicking back and cutting loose before you miss out on the simpler pleasures of life.
  25. 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.
  26. Mute
    Mute has gobs of style to burn, but it’s virtually the textbook definition of sound and fury signifying nothing.
  27. Venom
    To be honest, Venom’s almost worth watching for Hardy’s bizarre accent and whirling-dervish mania alone, but it’s a shame he’s not surrounded by a better, more exciting film.
  28. Home Sweet Home Alone
    While it’s probably got some of the best production value since the last theatrically-released entry in the series (1997’s Home Alone 3), and is replete with a cast of genuinely funny actors, there’s something rotten at the core of Home Sweet Home Alone that makes it harder to swallow than a pool ball to the kisser.
  29. Argylle
    The stakes might technically be high, but at a certain point, Argylle abandons all connection to reality to deliver pure romp from beginning to end. Yes, this at times tips over into silliness, but during a time of real geopolitical upheaval and political uncertainty… maybe there’s nothing wrong with that.
  30. The Hustle
    While the movie’s a letdown in the remake and modernization departments, it’s at least a modest success in terms of ebullient talent and frothy farce.
