  1. Tommy Boy
    Tommy Boy is one of those films that you can watch over and over again. It seems to be on every "Buddy Movie" list and it's always out at Blockbuster.
  2. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
    Ghostbusters: Frozen Kingdom’s tiresome, bloated plot and expansive roster of characters will leave you out in the cold.
  3. Reminiscence
    Like memories themselves, some portions of the movie feel like they’re on a loop. Luckily, excellent performances from Hugh Jackman, Thandiwe Newton, and Rebecca Ferguson, in addition to some gorgeous production design choices, make this an intriguing watch.
  4. The Nun
    As a piece of the larger Conjuring universe puzzle, The Nun is a fun, if ineffectual history lesson that will provide fans with plenty of dots to connect. On its own merits, The Nun stumbles by not delivering any real terror or investment in its characters, instead resting on its strong visuals and atmosphere and, strangely, humor.
  5. Don't Breathe 2
    The movie's full of clunky dialogue, underdeveloped characters, and unbelievable scenarios. When all is said and done, Lang's performance just can't save the follow-up from the trappings of horror sequel mediocrity.
  6. Damsel
    A weak script and boring performances make the Netflix fantasy film Damsel a real slog, torpedoing its attempt to be a subversive spin on classic adventure tales. Any sense of wonder or magic is diluted by cheap-looking CGI and its overly repetitive action sequences.
  7. Shotgun Wedding
    Jennifer Lopez and Josh Duhamel try their best with an interesting premise that’s squandered by script with barely any laughs, gratuitous violence and unconvincing action.
  8. Capone
    Josh Trank’s somber, small-scale drama is not the guns-blazing Al Capone biopic some gangster movie fans might be expecting, but it’s a curiosity that nevertheless demands a look-see for a fresh take on a crime legend whose most notorious exploits have been retold many times already.
  9. The Meg
    The Meg is a big, dumb shark movie that takes itself a little too seriously, and that’s the point. Jason Statham is perfect for the material, the shark attacks are entertainingly broad, and the supporting cast brings personality to the otherwise straightforward script.
  10. Futureworld
    The made-for-TV feel of the production, bland characters and familiar story leads to a pretty forgettable outing.
  11. Beyond Skyline
    You'll certainly find better alien mayhem films than Beyond Skyline, but some creative special effects, interesting fights, and fun, alien brain-sucking will keep you moderately – but solidly – entertained.
    • 46 Metascore

    My Bloody Valentine
    Certainly, the performances are cheesy and the scripting decidedly non-Shakespearean, but the film remains a terrifying and entertaining offering to the god's of 70's/80's horror. And those gods were good, indeed.
  13. Back in Action
    Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx do their jobs in Back in Action, assuring that it remains mostly watchable. But it’s ultimately a bummer to watch two well-established stars and versatile actors returning to big-budget filmmaking just to make another spies-versus-real-life action-comedy.
  14. IF
    Though the celebrity cast is giant, none of the colorful creatures they’re voicing are particularly memorable. And Krasinski favors trite platitudes over any real insights into the adventure of growing up; his dialogue will leave you pining for the strategic, well, quiet of his last onscreen family. What IF lacks is what it champions: the magical imagination of childhood.
  15. Jay and Silent Bob Reboot
    Though its meta-heavy plot gets tiresome after a while, Jay and Silent Bob Reboot is a successful return to form for Kevin Smith. Though it’s a bit rough around the edges, all involved clearly came to have fun and that infectious energy is palpable for the entire runtime. It may be his raunchiest film in years, but it’s also his most emotionally intelligent.
  16. The Watchers
    The more The Watchers comes together, the less interesting it becomes. It’s a puzzle best left unsolved.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Tora! Tora! Tora!
    Watching real planes crashing into real planes on a runway is flatout exciting, and the bombing sequence here is easily the equal of anything that Michael Bay could do.
  18. They/Them
    Neither polished enough to be engaging drama, nor campy or exploitative enough to be effective horror, They/Them is a plodding, tensionless, and ultimately cowardly movie. Even if it had something worthwhile to say, it would have no idea how to say it.
  19. Beneath the Planet of the Apes
    A workmanlike sequel, it lacks the wit and intelligence of its predecessor.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    D.C. Cab
    The movie's inherent flaws and jumble of subplots and side characters barely make a scratch into the stereotypes and cookie-cutter story.
  21. Scrooge: A Christmas Carol
    Netflix’s Scrooge: A Christmas Carol manages to delight thanks to solid animation, a lively cast, and strong musical performances.
  22. Samaritan
    Sylvester Stallone doesn’t seem thrilled to be playing a superhero in Samaritan, a hodgepodge of non-ideas borrowed from better movies.
  23. The Tomorrow War
    It’s astonishing that the helmer of The LEGO Batman Movie followed that vibrant, funny, and wildly entertaining offering with an action movie that is such an inane eyesore. And yet that turn still makes more sense than the plot of The Tomorrow War.
  24. American Assassin
    American Assassin has some of the more terrifying, brutal, and visceral action sequences to be seen on the big screen so far this year. But the film can’t ever quite manage to maintain the same momentum or intensity as its opening act, thanks to a lackluster climax and sudden left-turn into full blown absurdity.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Uncharted
    This should be effective in introducing the world of Uncharted to people who are meeting Nate and friends for the first time, although the changes it makes can be inexplicable and jarring to those of us who’ve spent many games with these characters.
  26. Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank
    Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank curiously exists as a Mel Brooks movie remake, though that's also its most redeeming feature.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Fire and Ice
    The wafer-thin story and cookie-cutter characters are laughably standard. Then again, there is a part of me that enjoys the fact that the filmmakers didn't try to make this meaningful, they just want the audience to sit back and stare at this world (and Teegra's curves) in all of its Frazetta-inspired glory.
  28. The Pope's Exorcist
    You can find horror movies a lot better than The Pope’s Exorcist, but in an increasingly stale exorcism subgenre, you can absolutely do worse as well – and Russel Crowe’s Italian accent is unintentionally hilarious.
  29. Justice League
    It’s messy and flawed but it still offers enough entertainment value (mostly thanks to its likable characters) to make it worthwhile.
  30. A Minecraft Movie
    For a big-studio adaptation of a massively popular video-game, A Minecraft Movie lets a surprising amount of its director’s personality shine through. Napoleon Dynamite’s Jared Hess manages to fit some laugh-out-loud silliness into his Overworld saga before surrendering to the obligations of CG-driven fantasy adventure. Thematically, A Minecraft Movie offers a pat world-is-what-you-make-it lesson, but Jack Black and Jason Momoa in particular sell it with a lot of comic enthusiasm.
