  1. Dracula
    On the heels of several other Dracula-based films in very recent memory, Luc Besson’s take on the story doesn't do enough to set itself apart, despite its fair share of weird comedic moments.
    • 44 Metascore

    Robin Hood: Men in Tights
    Men in Tights does work more often than not, even if the jokes are a little cheaper than normal.
  3. The Old Guard 2
    The Old Guard 2 is a disappointing sequel that isn’t as fun or engaging as the first film and doesn’t do enough with its face off between Charlize Theron and Uma Thurman.
  4. Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City
    Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City sticks admirably closely to its source material, but an overly stuffed story and rushed third act hold it back.
  5. The Jesus Rolls
    The Jesus Rolls, while a passion project for the writer/director/star -- though it's unclear what Turturro wanted to do more: remake Going Places or do a Jesus follow-up? -- comes off like a flat fever dream. The famous faces are fun and at times there's a wee bit of misfit charm, but in the end it's clumsy and churlish.

    Mortal Kombat
    It may not be a flawless victory but the new Mortal Kombat movie is a fun time for fans of the game franchise.
  7. Bloodshot
    Bloodshot is unapologetically a popcorn movie of the switch-off-your-brain-and-kick-back variety. Diesel and company soldier through a wonky plot to deliver glowers, superhero poses, and loads of action. Director Wilson brings the heat with solid visual effects and a relentless pace. But keen-eyed viewers will notice the telltale signs of "fix it in post" fiddling.
  8. Night Swim
    Night Swim effectively exploits primal fears around water, but its comedy and horror chops aren’t strong enough to keep it from drowning in its more clichéd elements.
  9. The Beast Within
    Despite having an interesting take on werewolves, The Beast Within proves to be a middling experience.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Hunter Killer
    Despite the good stuff, though, Hunter Killer doesn’t ever really justify its existence. Conceived in 2011, viewing it through any other lens than today’s political climate is impossible.

    The Transformers: The Movie
    As a piece of film history, Transformers: The Movie is pretty weak. But as an entry into the lexicon of popular Eighties culture, the Transformers phenomenon is on par with Matchbox cars, G.I. Joe and (at the time) queen Barbie herself. Long live Optimus! Long live Transformers!
  12. Choose or Die
    Choose or Die boots up a retro-style survival horror that will muster up a few delightful scares for the generation of gamers who grew up with Zork and The Valley of the Minotaur. But beneath this terror-filled glimpse of the ‘80s lies not much more than a bog-standard horror flick.
  13. Antebellum
    The psychological thriller-horror film Antebellum mishandles its sensitive & painful subject matter on multiple levels.
  14. The Girl in the Spider's Web
    The Girl in the Spider’s Web has essentially refashioned Lisbeth Salander into a superhero.
  15. Maleficent: Mistress of Evil
    Impressive visuals and a very watchable cast make this a fun popcorn fantasy flick that's at its best when it leans into its genre roots and aims to create a truly fantastical fairytale world.
  16. A Family Affair
    Despite a starry cast and endearing performance from Joey King, A Family Affair is as messy as the conflicting professional and personal relationships it depicts. A convoluted and superficial script and yawning direction fail to deliver character stakes worth getting behind.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Night School
    Night School is a familiar comedy with heart that (barely) makes the grade.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Killer Klowns from Outer Space
    Outside of viewing the film as a child or with a group of pals on drunken Saturday night, watching a bunch of loosely stringed sequences of Killer Klowns attacking townsfolk only gets you so far. It's a fun picture. But nothing more.
  19. The Strangers: Chapter 1
    The Strangers: Chapter 1 might freak you out if you aren’t old enough to remember The Strangers, but where its predecessor was subtle and interesting, Renny Harlin’s reboot chooses to be ridiculous and boring.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Trail of the Pink Panther
    As a whole the film was funny, but the lack of a living lead, led Trail to being more about the editing than the story.
  21. Where the Crawdads Sing
    Where The Crawdads Sing is only mildly interesting if you look up the accusations against its author.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    The Man with the Golden Gun
    Roger Moore's second outing as 007 does not do the subject matter justice. Or the character. Or any paying member of the audience.
  23. Blood Red Sky
    Blood Red Sky could lose a few minutes, but overall, it's a ferocious and fun merging of vampires and hijackers.
  24. Retribution
    For a movie about a guy trying to save himself and his kids from a car that might blow up at any moment, it's curiously low on thrills and complications.
  25. Mother/Android
    Mother/Android tries to bring an emotional heart to the robot uprising genre, but it’s so laden with tropes and short on personality that it’s hard to care about the characters. What little novelty exists comes far too late in the long, slow movie.
  26. Dark Phoenix
    Dark Phoenix is ultimately yet another fumbled take on the classic saga from the Marvel Comics, albeit one without the side plots of The Last Stand. Add to it a jarringly uneven latter half and some underdeveloped cosmic villains, and Dark Phoenix is fortunate to have not fully ended the X-Men’s current big screen run on a completely down note.
  27. The New Mutants
    The New Mutants didn’t deserve to be locked away for years. It’s not some unwatchable mess but rather a perfectly fine, entertaining, if at times formulaic small-scale genre movie.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Death Note
    What’s frustrating is that with better lead performers and a tighter script, Wingard could have made a great adaptation. Instead it settles when it should have soared.
  29. Glass
    There are hints of greatness, but Glass is tonally confused and will likely disappoint fans of Unbreakable and Split.
  30. Anaconda
    Anaconda is a disappointing follow-up for Gormican, who cannot crack the code on Sony's bewildering aquatic not-really-horror reboot. A cast of proven funny people are lost in a thick brush of hacky bits and ineffective storytelling, unable to machete their way through to a redeeming climax. There are brief bursts of creature-feature excitement and belly-tickling humor, but way more stretches of bafflingly unclear ambitions that feel like they're struggling to keep the "movie within a movie" gimmick afloat. It's Anaconda without the aqua-horror chills, throwback practical effects, and midnight-movie entertainment—what an odd choice.
