  1. So many body parts from other engineered romantic comedies have been crudely harvested and stitched together in the making of this weird robotic lark that "Maid of Honor of Frankenstein" might be more useful a nickname.
  2. The sheer, animal idiocy beaming from their faces in the opening credits of The Brothers Solomon creates the film's only moment of uncalculated comic joy.

    A painful comedy that reduces the "Garden State" star to pratfalls while many comic A-teamers around him (including Paul Rudd and Amy Adams) play idiots.

    While Regression does, for the most part, deliver simmering suspense — and with Watson and Thewlis together, it’s fun (and weird) to see a mini-Harry Potter reunion — the script often falls flat, and the film sometimes leans too heavily on the score to telegraph an ominous tone.
  3. A big, fat, juicy spitball lobbed, with mostly dead-on aim, at the teen-smarm clichés that have accumulated like so much earwax over the last three years.
  4. A movie in which laughter and self-exploitation merge into jolly soft-porn ''empowerment.''

    The experiment didn't work. The English-language production is a jumble of poorly delineated notions about love, celebrity, the look of romantic movies, and the sound of American-style dialogue - and it's been sitting on the shelf for over a year.
  5. Ultimately, Age of Extinction is an endless barrage of nonsense and noise.
  6. After a brisk start, the script turns out to be a rough and humorless beast slouching its way towards utter ludicrousness.
  7. Ride Along 2, which moves the action from Atlanta to Miami, plays more like a remake than a sequel.
  8. Chapter 27 is far from flawless, but Leto disappears inside this angry, mouth-breathing psycho geek with a conviction that had me hanging on his every delusion.
  9. There's nothing particularly revolutionary about writer-director Robert Edwards' grimly satiric political fable.
  10. When Rock finds his authentic swing as an actor as well as a comedian, he'll be, like, a movie god.
  11. A boxing film with no conflictual punch.
  12. The story is timeless; this could have taken place when Doyle graduated in '76 -- or any year, really, since the effects of high school linger throughout adult life and nerds are forever.

    A retro horror-comedy featuring quick deaths and cheapo-looking gore, with a few dorky laughs and gross-outs but not so many scares.
  13. The only real reason Paranoia is even remotely worth watching is the chance to see Oldman and Ford go head-to-head like two vipers thrown into a potato sack.
  14. It doubles down on gross-out sight gags that 13-year-old boys should find hilarious, if no one else.
  15. Disposable and shockingly inept.
  16. Don't go expecting an escapist night at the movies; go expecting to be cudgeled into numb, drooling submission.

    This Styrofoam snowman of a sequel overdoses on its own candy-cane-colored sugary cheer.
  17. Requires tremendous restraint not to conclude that this entertainingly apocalyptic mess is about nothing, since it may well be about everything. But I doubt it.
  18. It’s soulless, incoherent, Renaissance Faire hooey. And since the latest iteration of game series that inspired it, World of Warcraft, already peaked years ago, even the timing is off.

    If steampunk bloodbaths aren't for you, it's a long wait for the fat lady to sing.
  19. Even after 110 tumbling, tail-swishing, deeply psychedelic minutes, it’s hard to know if you ever really knew anything — except that C is for Cats, C is for Crazy, and C is probably the grade this cinematic lunacy deserves, in the sense of making any sense at all. And yet that somewhere under the Jellicle moonlight, it is somehow, too, an A++.
  20. At bottom, there's just too much spy in young Cody, and too little kid. The writers might've taken (another) page from the ''Spy Kids'' playbook and infused the action with youth relevance.
  21. Jolie, in this movie at least, has exactly two expressions: blank wistfulness and blank dismay. She reduces the tides of history to one more raided tomb.
