  1. Cars 3
    While it feels like it could use a more nuanced antagonist and is hit or miss in the comedy realm, there’s a nice sense of closure here, too, which would make this a perfect and redemptive beat to end the story on – both for the characters and the franchise as a whole.
  2. It Comes at Night
    It Comes at Night is emotional, haunting dystopian horror that will leave you shaken.
    • 34 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    The Mummy
    There are moments where it reaches out for horror and produces something interesting and distinct from Hollywood’s other blockbusters, but those moments are buried beneath unremarkable and, by the end, tedious action sequences.
  4. Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie
    Thanks to a top-notch screenplay by Nicholas Stoller, Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie manages to be both a faithful adaptation of Dav Pilkey’s source material and a fun-filled animated adventure suitable for all ages.
  5. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul
    Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul is yet another disappointing attempt by Hollywood to deliver an adaptation worthy of its source material.
  6. 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.
  7. King Arthur: Legend of the Sword
    The most frustrating thing about Ritchie's take on King Arthur is that it has all the necessary elements to be a great version of the story, but rather than giving them to the audience as such, they are put into a blender and thoroughly mixed.
  8. I Am Heath Ledger
    I Am Heath Ledger feels like a glancing take on the actor. It takes us through his professional life, and some of his personal one, but it never provides a full picture of him.

    Alien: Covenant
    Covenant’s framework and exciting action put enough new spins on the series’ most reliable touchstones that the cast is able to carry it through to a satisfying end.
  10. Chuck
    Chuck doesn’t contribute anything new to the boxing drama that filmgoers haven’t already seen a hundred times before, but with a strong lead performance from Liev Schreiber and a dependable supporting cast, Chuck manages to bring the story of its protagonist to life with heart and respect.
  11. Becoming Bond
    The charming, skillful storyteller George Lazenby himself is the best reason to watch Becoming Bond. The reenactments, while often funny and involving, simply can't hold a candle to the man and his anecdotes.
  12. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales
    Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales manages to be less bloated, dreary, and meandering than the last three entries have been, but it still suffers from many of the same wearisome, dredged-up villains and ho-hum action and comedy that have bedeviled the franchise since its second installment.
  13. Baywatch
    Baywatch wastes its attractive cast on tired jokes and nothing.
  14. 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.
  15. Wonder Woman
    Wonder Woman is leaps and bounds above the other three entries in the DCEU. With a dramatic setting, a few entertaining action scenes, and a strong supporting cast all working together to tell an inspirational Hero’s Journey, it more than offsets some occasionally uneven acting on Gadot’s part and some shaky technical aspects.
  16. Silent Night
    With a stunningly honest performance from the director’s son — Jojo Rabbit star Roman Griffin Davis — Silent Night balances the eccentricities of a Christmas get-together with nihilistic acceptance of certain doom, making for a film that’s both bleak and dryly funny.
  17. Police Story 2 (1988)
    Usually the fight sequences are great but the movie itself is poor.

    My Hero Academia: Two Heroes
    My Hero Academia: Two Heroes is an entertaining but inconsequential feature film take on the popular anime.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Villainess
    Jung’s The Villainess offers enough action to make up for the otherwise confusing complexity of its storytelling.
    • 70 Metascore

    Universal Soldier: Regeneration
    This belated sequel lacks the wit and charm of its predecessor, resulting in a po-faced action flick that has "straight-to-DVD" written all over it.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Inkheart
    Inkheart is one of those "family" movies that ins't necessarily for the entire family. While this is a decent audio and visual presentation, it's probably more suited to a younger audience (the inclusion of a full-screen version is a dead giveaway). Give it a rent if you're curious, but this title simply isn't substantial enough to recommend owning it.
  22. What Just Happened
    Overall the biggest problem with What Just Happened is that its character studies and conflicts are so far inside the eye of Hollywood's celebrity-clad storm that its melancholy calm completely fails to interest anyone.
  23. The Dark Knight
    What Nolan and Co. have created doesn't just function as a thrill ride or even a terrific movie, but rather as a substantive and philosophical examination of why we need heroes, and then when we need them, what they mean.

    Cleaner
    Cleaner needed serious editing and instead, seems intent on being long and drawn out to prove some sort of point.
    • 51 Metascore

    The Walker
    The only question Paul Schrader's murder mystery will leave you with is how long before you fall asleep?
    • 32 Metascore

    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.

    Ali G Indahouse
    The movie plays up sexual innuendo more than a group of junior high school kids, and it comes across almost as juvenile. Some of the jokes are indeed funny, but there aren't enough laughs to propel things through the dry spells.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    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.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro
    If Spirited Away can be considered the top anime film of this age, Castle of Cagliostro is most certainly its age-old counterpart, and a true masterpiece.
  30. The Mummy
    Stephen Sommers' throwback to adventure films and screwball comedies has managed to become a modern classic, and a paean to a type of movie that rarely gets made these days.
