  1. 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.
  2. The Kitchen
    The Kitchen has a good cast and strong premise, but it never quite finds its footing and falls into gangster cliches.
  3. Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile
    Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile has some interesting ideas about how little we know the people we love, and about the power of a celebrity cult status. But no matter how good Zac Efron’s performance as Ted Bundy is, this is the tamest way to explore such a complex and interesting story.
  4. Mercy Black
    While there are some creepy ideas in this surprise Netflix-Blumhouse offering, the quality of Mercy Black is strained.
  5. Miss Bala
    Miss Bala never quite delivers on its potential and lets down the woman at its center.
  6. War Machine
    After a while, rather than just being funny (in a dark way), it's questionable why one should sit through the whole thing.
  7. Thelma
    Trier manages to make a movie about passion that feels almost completely detached, right to the end. It’s an approach that gives Thelma, the movie, the appearance of portent without fully exploring the fascinating themes, characters or storylines that might actually have justified that self-serious tone.
  8. Action Point
    Action Point contains some crazy stunts and some funny-ish gross-out humor, but is ultimately a pale echo of the dark destruction Johnny Knoxville became famous for.
  9. Kin
    All the genre elements play like an afterthought, and that's frustrating because the rest of the movie isn't quite spry enough to stay interesting without action, adventure, or at least little more weirdness.

    Night of the Living Dead 3D
    Everything about this "movie" is a joke. What really pisses us off is the fact that: a) Ben is now white (yes, white!); b) there are people doing drugs; and c) there's a sex scene! What in the hell? Not making things any better is a simply ridiculous ending that just about abandons all hope for the movie's success.

    Jim Brown: All American
    Jim Brown: All American is visually impressive, but about halfway through the documentary it gets so defensive and excusive that it stalls. It's as if Lee is forming a defense case rather than exhibiting the man's life.

    The Dark Tower
    The Dark Tower is a thoroughly average take on some truly incredible source material. While the fantastic leads do the best with what they’re given, it’s ultimately not enough to compensate for a lack of time spent building characters and their motivations in the script.

    Survivor
    The film is particularly disappointing as McTeigue also directed V for Vendetta, a much sharper, much more intriguing, much more thought-provoking look at our post-9/11 world.

    Pitch Perfect 3
    Pitch Perfect 3 tears up the rule book for the franchise but sadly all the rules in it are what made the original work so well and the second film work well enough.
  15. Patient Zero
    Patient Zero never realizes its potential.
  16. Snatched
    Snatched has its fair share of laughs, but the film’s attempts at sustaining a legitimate emotional underpinning throughout are unsuccessful, thanks to a lackluster turn from Schumer, and some tiresome writing all across the board.
  17. Fast X
    An underwhelming lead-up to the series finale, Fast X's only real redeeming quality is Jason Momoa's bonkers performance as the villain.
  18. Flatliners
    Flatliners had every opportunity to improve on the original, and it doesn’t take most of them. It falls flat as a horror movie but the cast is good enough, and the sci-fi concepts are interesting enough, to keep it from crashing completely.
  19. Downsizing
    It’s not very funny, it’s not very dramatic. There’s a spark of intelligence here, a valid critique of doomsday culture and escapism, but it’s the sort of message you can easily get off of a cocktail napkin.

    The First Purge
    While trying to hit the basic markers that have come to define a Purge film, The First Purge comes up empty when mining real-life tragedies as the backdrop for a summer movie.
  21. Trolls World Tour
    It's for kids and it's cute. It's also an absolute eyesore, crassly overstuffed with retina-scorching color combinations and explosions of glitter. Frankly, it's disappointing that an animated movie with so much talent attached didn’t strive to be more than just "cute for kids." But hey, at least you can dance to it.
  22. Sherlock Gnomes
    Not as annoying as it looks, but hardly a stirring or imaginative entertainment, Sherlock Gnomes has a comfortable home right in the middle of the road.
    • 68 Metascore

    Never Say Never Again
    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.
  24. Beneath the Planet of the Apes
    A workmanlike sequel, it lacks the wit and intelligence of its predecessor.
  25. Chaos Walking
    While it has an interesting hook, Chaos Walking never capitalizes on its premise or the promise offered by its cast.
    • 49 Metascore

    Cleaner
    Cleaner needed serious editing and instead, seems intent on being long and drawn out to prove some sort of point.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Den of Thieves
    Clichés combined with poor dialogue and badly drawn characters that lack dimension bog down the heist movie Den of Thieves, which fails to sustain, or generate, any real tension.
  28. Hostiles
    Scott Cooper directs Hostiles with an eye for quote-unquote “greatness” but the actual material simply isn’t deep enough to justify the solemn presentation. It’s not entertaining, it’s not illuminating, it’s not even complicated. It’s mostly just a bummer.
  29. Red Notice
    Three A-listers globetrot and double-cross each other in Red Notice, a derivative action film that should be much smarter and sexier than it ends up being.
  30. The Titan
    Taylor Schilling does her best here to keep things alive and afloat but The Titan insists on languishing in unremarkable material way too long.
