  1. The opposite of the soulless franchise extension it could've been, A Quiet Place: Day One delivers a prequel that elevates the series to new heights.
  2. Crime 101 has everything a heist thriller ought to have… but not much else.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The direction is kinetic and frequently beautiful, especially through the fantastic opening act, and the supporting cast is largely great, but this is Craig’s film through and through
  3. Ne Zha 2 starts out tedious and juvenile, but after its first hour it pivots to enormous and spectacular fist-pumping action and tear-jerking intimacy.
    • 68 Metascore

    Director Frankenheimer does his best to keep the film moving, and he succeeds admirably in the final act, but the 90 minutes of dreck that precede the finale are of little interest, perhaps even tainting one's enjoyment of the first film, which is something no sequel should ever do.
  4. Powerful performances and solid direction elevate the conventional but impassioned fact-based drama Just Mercy.
  5. Fear Street Part 3: 1666 becomes that final puzzle piece that clicks into place, making the big picture clear. On its own, it's spooky fun, reveling in shadows, suspicion, and twisted reveals. In the broader context, it’s a climax that’s sensationally bold, thrilling, and joltingly entertaining… and perhaps not just an end, but also a new beginning.
  6. Superman is a wonderfully entertaining, heartfelt cinematic reset for the Man of Steel, and a great new start for the DC universe on the big screen.

    Never Say Never Again never reaches the escapist thrills of vintage Connery and Moore; it cares too much about getting sued than it does about giving the actor a vehicle worth coming back to.
  7. Spy X Family: CODE White captures the series’ appeal in microcosm, its stylish action, heartfelt found-family dynamic, and incredibly silly comedy all working in entertaining harmony.
  8. More distancing than disgusting, Crimes of the Future strings together great body horror ideas but does little with them.

    The real heart and soul of the picture is Cage’s on-screen bromance with Pedro Pascal’s Javi. Their chemistry carries the movie into far more memorable territory, and more than makes up for a few of the film’s less-interesting elements.
  9. While it has action and humor aplenty, Marvel's Black Widow still isn't quite the stellar solo film the fallen Avenger deserves.

    Dick Tracy succeeded in translating a classic comic almost perfectly to the screen. Some people may be turned off with Madonna being in the film, but if you can look past that, you'd find one of the best comic-to-film adaptations ever.

    Problemista is a deeply considered, fantastical tromp through a wonderland of the mundane.
  10. Ick
    As a horror-comedy, Ick commits the sin of not being remotely haunting enough to make for a decent horror movie or anywhere near funny enough to be a good comedy.
  11. V/H/S/Halloween is an enjoyable assortment of vicious holiday horror shorts that might take a step backward after last year’s fantastic V/H/S/Beyond, but it’s hardly a throwaway sequel.
  12. Despite the efforts of Idris Elba and the cast, Concrete Cowboy never explores its characters or premise in much depth.
  13. Avatar: The Way of Water is a clear improvement on its predecessor and, though its story isn’t breaking new ground, its jaw-dropping visuals make this an irresistible return to Pandora.
  14. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle offers plenty of action and some emotional flashbacks, but it suffers from an overuse of flashbacks that undermine the story's pacing.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Framing John DeLorean deftly tells the bigger-than-life tale of one man’s bold quest to build a timeless sports car.
  15. While no entry in the franchise has surpassed the original film, this Halloween sequel is truly a cut above the rest and a great piece of horror entertainment even for those unfamiliar with the series.

    The Little Stranger may be a bit too slow burn at times and isn't for all tastes, but it's well-acted and engrossing.
  16. Fear Street Part 1: 1994 is a film rich with character, world-building, Easter eggs, and scares. Horror fans will be grinning over a visual allusion, then be pulled to the edge of their seat by this slaughter-packed adventure, then catch themselves screaming at a harrowingly portrayed murder.
  17. The Last Duel’s staggering trial by combat allows for some brilliant performances, brutal fights, and impactful social commentary.

    Like all the best and most beloved family films, there's plenty in this film for adults to appreciate as well as kids.
  18. A story of a generational actor who realizes the price of the fame monster far too late in life, Jay Kelly is a smart, funny, and emotional ride that deftly interrogates what it means to be a human and an artist in equal measure – and the unfair sacrifices required to be great.
  19. PG: Psycho Goreman is campy, ridiculous, and low-budget, and it absolutely owns it.
  20. Fresh delivers a full-course meal with dazzling cinematography, disturbing imagery, and one of the best horror performances of the past few years. Sebastian Stan joins the pantheon of horror psychopaths as this delightfully gory movie explores the world of modern dating.
  21. Like its doomed romantic pair — Marion Cotillard’s radiant stage actress and Adam Driver’s macabre comedian — Annette pours dreams, perversions, and self-fulfilling misery into its titular puppet-child, a beautiful creation that sings heavenly tunes in the darkest of moments.
