  1. Killing Gunther
    Killing Gunther is an astonishingly unfunny film considering the level of sheer comedic talent involved in it. Its lack of energy or character development keeps the film from ever finding its groove.
  2. American Made
    Featuring one of Tom Cruise's best performances in recent years, American Made is a darkly funny, dizzying crime film that nevertheless ultimately feels inconsequential and overly familiar.

    Jeepers Creepers 3
    An unremarkable entry in a cult favorite franchise, Jeepers Creepers 3 offers fans little to get excited about. While the monster still rules its slice of country highway and the skies above it, the rest of the film crashes in the cornfields.
  4. The LEGO Ninjago Movie
    While The LEGO Ninjago Movie does venture into overly cliched and cheesy territory at times, the performances of its actors and excited attitude of the material keep it from ever going stale.
  5. Friend Request
    It’s a sincere, and sincerely inept motion picture, and that combination makes Friend Request the exact opposite of scary. It makes it unintentionally hilarious.
  6. Kingsman: The Golden Circle
    Kingsman: The Golden Circle is as cheeky, cartoonish, and crazy as its predecessor, but it’s also commendably unafraid to demolish what had come before it if it’s in service of the story. The new dynamic between Eggsy and his team is great, and the Statesman prove amusing counterparts to these gentlemen spies from across the pond.
  7. mother!
    What is less certain is whether the breadcrumbs that are available to the viewer the first time through mother! will be satisfying enough for them to do more than run a quick Google search to provide some answers.
  8. 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.
  9. It
    IT may not be the best Stephen King movie (even though it comes impressively close), but it’s probably the MOST Stephen King movie.
  10. Goon: Last of the Enforcers
    Goon: Last of the Enforcers is the rare great sports movie sequel.
    • 48 Metascore

    Rememory
    Rememory somehow managed to attract Peter Dinklage, Julia Ormond, and other established performers, and yet it completely lets them down.
    • 35 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Birth of the Dragon
    Birth of the Dragon is not the Bruce Lee biopic you’ve been waiting for, as strong performances and martial arts action by Philip Ng and Xia Yu are wasted on a movie that had too little faith in the real story.

    Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars
    The limitations of the animation keep the characters from ever fully emoting, but it’s the script that lets down the rest of the film. In live-action, with a tighter script, this could have been something special. Instead, it’s largely forgettable.
  14. Leap!
    As heartwarming as the story in Leap! can sometimes be, and as strong as the relationship is between Félicie and Odette, her actions can make it difficult to cheer for her as wholeheartedly as the film intends.
  15. The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature
    The Nut Job 2 is one of those rare examples in which the sequel is technically better than the original, but it’s still not a compliment.
  16. Ingrid Goes West
    The film manages to look at its characters with empathy and understanding, while simultaneously refusing to endorse their actions. And because of that, Matt Spicer’s directorial debut proves to be one of the more successful takes on the social media generation to hit the silver screen.
  17. The Hitman's Bodyguard
    The film knows what it is, and lives in its ridiculous skin with an infectious, gleeful attitude. Unfortunately, The Hitman’s Bodyguard also doesn’t know when to say goodbye, and as a result, overstays it’s welcome.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Inside Llewyn Davis
    The times they are a-changin’ but the Coens keep bringing the hits back home. A masterpiece.
  19. An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power
    While not as powerful as its predecessor, An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power is a compelling documentary.
  20. Detroit
    Kathryn Bigelow's new docudrama Detroit emphasizes immediacy and brutality over historical context.
    • 34 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    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.
  22. Logan Lucky
    With his latest directorial effort, Soderbergh has made a film that not only constantly pokes fun at its own characters and their lives, but finds a way to imbue each of them with a soul and heart along the way.
  23. The Emoji Movie
    Despite the talents and charisma of its voice cast, The Emoji Movie fails to deliver on any of its intended messages or themes, with a final act that goes back on everything it had originally been trying to say.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Killing Ground
    Killing Ground is a well-made movie that, at times, is just too plain ugly. It may be mild compared to other “torture porn,” but it still won’t sit very well with everyone who watches it.
    • 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.
  26. Atomic Blonde
    Atomic Blonde is one of the best action films of the year.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Dunkirk
    Dunkirk is a monumental, unconventional, and frequently stunning war movie.
  28. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
    Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets showcases plenty of cool creatures and ideas for sci-fi fans to savor, but if only the movie's central characters and their relationship were as exciting and interesting as all that impressive eye candy.
  29. Wish Upon
    Wish Upon is the successor to the Final Destination franchise that no one asked for.
  30. The Big Sick
    Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon have told their own story in a funny, highly engaging way that doesn’t feel precious or sanitized, but instead is relatable and engrossing from start to finish. And you’ll laugh a hell of a lot.
