  1. Molly's Game
    Molly’s Game doesn’t announce Aaron Sorkin as the next great filmmaker, but he’s a good one. It’s a competently filmed production with some fine performances, but it lacks the focus and showpersonship that would be necessary to make it feel like more.

    My Hero Academia: Two Heroes
    My Hero Academia: Two Heroes is an entertaining but inconsequential feature film take on the popular anime.
  3. Crawl
    Crawl is a fun albeit familiar human vs. beast movie, one that gets plenty of mileage out of its setting and people’s deep-set fear of being eaten.
  4. The King
    The King is a relevant reshaping of Shakespeare's Henry V featuring a stunning turn by Timothée Chalamet.
  5. Yardie
    Idris Elba’s directorial debut is an atmospheric and catchy DJ Noir about criminals who’d rather spin vinyl than sell cocaine, and it’s an impressive first film, only held back by the conventions in the plot. But it’s the details of Yardie’s world that make it worth visiting.
  6. Set It Up
    Set It Up is as formulaic as they come. That fact alone isn’t enough to avoid it on Netflix though. Most fans of this genre know what they are getting into, easily enjoying the charming displays of friendship, the few silly moments, and predictable ending.
  7. Ready or Not
    This is an entertaining game of tension and gore with a strong funny bone, all in a well-wrapped package clearly designed with surprising thought and artistic effort with a star-making performance for Samara Weaving.
  8. The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part
    The LEGO Movie 2 isn’t quite as funny or as brilliantly executed as the original, but it’s an ambitious, likable sequel. Kids will enjoy it and adults will appreciate that the filmmakers took it seriously, and tried to say something meaningful. Just don’t think about it too much, because the LEGO universe is often weird and confusing.
  9. V/H/S: Viral
    The fact that V/H/S Viral frequently substitutes laughs for scares means that the film will disappoint hardcore fright fans. But if you like your horror mixed with laughs, this anthology threequel is a blast.
  10. The LEGO Ninjago Movie
    While The LEGO Ninjago Movie does venture into overly cliched and cheesy territory at times, the performances of its actors and excited attitude of the material keep it from ever going stale.
  11. Aquaman
    The glee that director James Wan clearly has playing in the world of Aquaman is infectious. He’s made a movie for both types of 10-year-olds: literal kids and those who are 10 at heart. Aquaman is one hell of a popcorn movie.
  12. American Made
    Featuring one of Tom Cruise's best performances in recent years, American Made is a darkly funny, dizzying crime film that nevertheless ultimately feels inconsequential and overly familiar.

    Ready Player One
    Everything in Ready Player One ties together into an action-packed, upbeat, hero’s journey that keeps the film moving along at a thrilling pace. While it’s not particularly emotional and I was disappointed by how many questions are left open by its shallow visits to the real world, it’s still a lot of fun.
  14. Call Me by Your Name
    Call Me By Your Name is a romanticized coming of age film, for better and worse. It’s a lovely place to visit but not particularly absorbing as a narrative, even though Armie Hammer gives an impressive performance.
  15. Goodbye Christopher Robin
    Goodbye Christopher Robin is a good example of how far a film can go with just the talents of its actors and director, even when the script can feel jarring or emotionally uneven.
  16. Annihilation
    Annihilation isn’t always as consistently well-executed or involving as it might have been, and it’s told in a manner that robs the story of some much needed life-or-death suspense, but overall it’s a bold undertaking that doesn’t play it safe and features some strong performances.
  17. The Ritual
    While not exactly transcending the familiarity of its very predictable genre, The Ritual is a spooky, shadowy horror film with good character work, an excellent mood, some provocative themes, excellent lighting, and a scary... thing... that horror fans will love.
  18. Love & Saucers
    With a sensitive ear for the experiences of its friendly subject, and nothing but sympathy for what he says, Love and Saucers paints a fascinating portrait of a talented and unique person.
  19. Dora and the Lost City of Gold
    While it may be light on logic and effects, it’s still a lovely story about being yourself, no matter what anyone thinks.
  20. Terminal
    Terminal is an interesting revenge story that mostly works. There are a few missteps, namely a few wasted characters and a straight forward plot made needlessly complicated. Still, Vaughn Stein should be pleased with what’s here.
  21. Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us
    Sweet and sincere, Pokémon The Movie: The Power of Us is a light and fun adventure film filled with likable characters, fantastic creatures, and enough classic Pokémon to make the most die hard of fans happy.
  22. The Front Runner
    The Front Runner is too afraid to take a side in its central debate, but a strong ensemble cast and interesting ideas about accountability and newsworthiness make this a timely and thought-provoking film.
  23. They Shall Not Grow Old
    Peter Jackson's technical ambitions sometimes muddy his otherwise moving WWI documentary They Shall Not Grow Old.
  24. Bird Box
    It's Sandra Bullock and the ensemble that heap some heft into this standard scorched Earth story.
    • 53 Metascore

    Annabelle Comes Home
    Annabelle Comes Home offers more humor in addition to the supernatural terror the Conjuring franchise is known for.
  26. Velvet Buzzsaw
    The film's a fun and humble horror offering set among the world of pretension and status.
  27. Jumanji: The Next Level
    Jumanji: The Next Level is a blast. Instead of relying solely on its proven premise, we get to know more about the kids and the adults playing the game. There are still moments of silliness, but there is also a whole lot of heart here.
  28. Playing with Fire
    The comedy is broad and slapstick, but ultimately the film is heartwarming and lovely. You’ll find yourself laughing in spite of your initial reaction to the goofiness of the premise. It’s also a fun way to spend an afternoon with the kids.
  29. Guns Akimbo
    Writer-director Jason Lei Howden does try to sneak social commentary into proceedings, the film satirizing reality TV and attacking the poison of online comments. But ultimately this is balls-to-the-wall action, with Guns Akimbo delivering thrills, spills and genuinely spectacular kills.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Lupin III: The First
    Ultimately, Lupin III: The First plays it safe. While the film adds a new visual kick, there’s not a whole lot in the way of storytelling innovation. But maybe we don’t need it.
