    Hellboy
    Hellboy is a thin, clumsy, and charmless attempt at rebooting a beloved franchise. It's populated by forgettable characters motivated by confusing stakes, cheaply executed visuals, and distracting editing. Somewhere, a finger on a Hellboy fan's monkey's paw is curling up -- sure, HB might finally be back in the spotlight, but he definitely would have been better off left alone.
  2. Unicorn Store
    There's not much to marvel at in Netflix's Unicorn Store, Brie Larson's astounding misfire of a directorial debut.
    • 68 Metascore

    Missing Link
    Anchored by first-rate storytelling, Missing Link is another jewel in the crown for Laika that leaves you satisfied and still ready for more.
  4. Mercy Black
    While there are some creepy ideas in this surprise Netflix-Blumhouse offering, the quality of Mercy Black is strained.
  5. The Dirt
    Netflix’s The Dirt won’t win any awards nor will it inspire any would-be musicians, but it is entertaining and offers up a compelling story about Mötley Crüe. And while it isn’t a completely accurate depiction of the band’s tumultuous career, the film itself is insightful.
  6. Dumbo
    Sadly, this routine remake doesn't manage to recapture the surreal strangeness of the original Disney classic or elevate the dated premise into something better.
  7. Shazam!
    Shazam! is a lot of fun and it further proves how, in the wake of the success of Wonder Woman and Aquaman, DC’s movie future is indeed bright. Zachary Levi was born to play this superpowered man-child, delivering lots of laughs alongside sarcastic but amiable co-star Jack Dylan Grazer.
  8. Pet Sematary
    While some purists may balk at the changes and omissions made here, those simply looking for a horror movie as compelling as it is wicked should enjoy this new Pet Sematary.
  9. The Curse of La Llorona
    The Curse of La Llorona offers some decently suspenseful set-pieces and has a family you care about at its center, but it's also a very familiar and formulaic Annabelle-adjacent entry in the Conjuring franchise.
  10. 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.
  11. Captive State
    An atmospheric, affecting science fiction flick with big ideas, slick execution and a message that will stick with you.
  12. Booksmart
    The cast is pitch-perfect, scoring big laughs, heart swells, and even tears. Feldstein and Dever are a phenomenal comedy duo; Lourd is a stellar standout. And Wilde crushed it right out the gate.
  13. Long Shot
    Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen transform Long Shot's familiar rom-com story into a memorable and funny movie.
  14. Us
    Us is a very, very strange film. But that’s OK because it wouldn’t be a Jordan Peele joint if there wasn’t a little risk involved. Peele has proven that he’s not a one-hit-wonder with this truly terrifying, poignant look at one American family that goes through hell at the hands of maniacal doppelgangers.
  15. Triple Frontier
    Triple Frontier features a cool cast and a gruesome story about greed, but it fails to capitalize on its own premise.

    Captain Marvel
    Captain Marvel manages to take the best ideas of early MCU origin stories like Iron Man and Thor and use them to form something that feels both familiar and fresh. It can be a bit on-the-nose at times, and occasionally has to fast-track its exposition in ways that can feel slightly clunky, but what it lacks in grace it makes up for in charm.

    I Want to Eat Your Pancreas
    I Want to Eat Your Pancreas is a beautiful and moving exploration of what it means to truly live.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Happy Death Day 2U
    The level of risk-taking is refreshing, even when it's not completely successful at every single turn.
  19. 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.
  20. The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then The Bigfoot
    The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then The Bigfoot lays all its cards on the table up front, but then still manages to never quite be what you expect it to be. It juggles a lot of ostensibly ridiculous ideas, but they all land just right because the film's deliciously dour tone, that sort of snuggles everything within the warm embrace of Sam Elliott's ruggedness and regret.
  21. Alita: Battle Angel
    Alita: Battle Angel is Robert Rodriguez’s best film in many years. It’s an ambitious, impressive, visually spectacular production with great performances that make its strange world seem real.
  22. Miss Bala
    Miss Bala never quite delivers on its potential and lets down the woman at its center.
  23. Velvet Buzzsaw
    The film's a fun and humble horror offering set among the world of pretension and status.
  24. Fighting with My Family
    Fighting With My Family delivers on comedy, action, and a sweet message of acceptance and strength at its core. It might be a bit too wrestling-heavy for some, but the strong cast, interesting real life story, and a magnetic lead mean this black sheep sports story is a feel-good flick with chops that might finally put WWE Studios on the map.
  25. Cold Pursuit
    Cold Pursuit is partly a great action thriller, and Liam Neeson is still kicking plenty of butt, but the film is mostly an intriguing, relaxing, totally tuckered-out character study of old men running out of the energy required to run a criminal enterprise. As thrillers go, this one is more adult than your average.
  26. 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.
  27. Reign of the Supermen
    Reign of the Supermen is a squarely "middle of the pack" addition to DC's ever-growing lineup of animated movies.
  28. 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.
  29. Polar
    Mads Mikkelsen and Vanessa Hudgens’ on-screen chemistry bring some much-needed heart to Polar’s bloodsoaked story.
  30. IO
    IO provides a different take on a familiar premise. The story is intimate in nature, with a plot that highlights the importance of relationships – not just between partners or family members, but relationships in general. Its pacing and lack of urgency betrays the drama though.
