  1. Demonic
    Demonic promises a fun and fascinating premise, but its scattered pieces barely coalesce.
  2. Cryptozoo
    Cryptozoo may be overstuffed with ideas, but its central dilemma is a fascinating and poignant message that carries a dazzling animated adventure.
  3. Mad God
    Phil Tippett’s Mad God unleashes decades of pent-up creative darkness into a trippy and troubling ride with astonishing craftsmanship, but little substance.
  4. Candyman
    Nia DaCosta’s slow-burn sequel makes Candyman feel vital, both building on and course-correcting the movies in the series that came before it.
  5. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
    Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is a confident introduction to Marvel’s first Asian superhero, delivering the MCU’s best fight choreography and one of its most emotionally complex villains.
  6. Sweet Girl
    Sweet Girl is front-loaded with fun action, and it has a great performance by Jason Momoa as a widower seeking vengeance against a pharma CEO. But its story slowly loses steam, before being replaced by an entirely different movie with much sillier political messaging.
  7. Annette
    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.
  8. PAW Patrol: The Movie
    Paw Patrol: The Movie is a precious and peppy offering for the pre-preteen set that utilizes gentle character drama and buzzy action to stand out as a big-screen adventure. It won't be any parent's first choice, from an animation standpoint, but the standards of storytelling hold firm, making for an overall calm and comforting watch.
  9. The Protégé
    The Protégé is so bad that it feels like it has to be on purpose.
  10. The Last Mercenary
    The Last Mercenary has bounding energy and a fun take on star Jean-Claude Van Damme's past exploits as an action star, but the humor is way more miss than hit and the actual nuts-and-bolts spy plot is a trudge.
  11. Vivo
    Vivo's animated musical sequences are gorgeous to look at and fun to listen to, even if the plot loses the rhythm about halfway through.
  12. Naked Singularity
    Not even John Boyega’s solid performance can salvage Naked Singularity, a thinly sketched, disappointingly generic crime thriller.
  13. Val
    Val is a refreshingly candid documentary that uses its title star’s impressive array of archival footage to delve into larger questions about the nature of stardom itself.
  14. Hellbender
    Hellbender, a coming-of-age movie from a family that’s built their own indie horror house, is a captivating, smart, and delightfully witchy tale.
  15. Shirobako: The Movie
    Shirobako: The Movie is a beautifully animated treat for fans of the series, but it might’ve benefited more from exploring less familiar territory.
  16. Beckett
    John David Washington falls short of the story’s emotional demands, but he brings a desperate physicality as a man on the run, which makes the film just about worth watching.
  17. The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf
    The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf isn’t a bad film, but it fundamentally lacks an identity of its own.
  18. The Night House
    While it may not always pay off the tension it builds, the film’s story — about a woman seeking closure after her husband’s suicide — makes the lingering unknowability of romance feel just as unsettling as any supernatural force.
  19. The Last Thing Mary Saw
    The Last Thing Mary Saw is an intriguing and atmospheric but uneven horror offering, with a disappointingly lackluster romance at its center.
  20. Respect
    Director Liesl Tommy and co-writer Tracy Scott Wilson provide a shocking backdrop for Franklin’s life, and Hudson balances all this with a skill that’s worthy of a second Oscar nomination. It feels more like a Broadway-ready musical than a biopic, but that doesn’t take away from the impact of the performances.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. Free Guy
    Free Guy delivers a first hour that is outrageously entertaining, stuffed with gonzo action, goofy gags, star power, big ideas, and plenty of Easter Eggs for lovers of movies and video games. However, in its second half, the joyful journey is derailed by a slog of a side quest, falling short of the potential set-up.
  24. The Suicide Squad
    The Suicide Squad is a gut-wrenching, gut-busting wild ride and DC’s best film in years.
  25. Jungle Cruise
    Jungle Cruise is a rollicking adventure full of humor and heart anchored by Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt's winning heroes.
  26. The Green Knight
    The Green Knight is truly astounding.
  27. Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans
    Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans delivers an emotional and action-packed conclusion to the Tales of Arcadia saga, although the movie format doesn't give its large cast the chance to shine.
  28. Blood Red Sky
    Blood Red Sky could lose a few minutes, but overall, it's a ferocious and fun merging of vampires and hijackers.
  29. Old
    Old isn't M. Night Shyamalan’s best work, but it is one that shows maturity – a movie that tackles universal and intense themes over twists and puzzles.
  30. Fear Street Part Three: 1666
    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.
