  1. Jiu Jitsu
    If the overlong and often tedious brawls were at least believable and well-choreographed, maybe there would be something commendable and entertaining to be derived from the experience of watching the film.
  2. Fool's Paradise
    The only saving grace of Fool’s Paradise is watching Liotta do what he did best.
  3. Nina
    Saldana delivers her distractingly affected performance with greater conviction than most could muster under these circumstances, but no amount of ferocity can disguise the discrepancy between the 37-year-old actress (33 at the time of filming) and the 62-year-old woman she's playing.
  4. The Happytime Murders
    If The Happytime Murders isn’t the worst movie of the summer, I tremble at the thought of whatever’s coming out next week.
  5. Flatliners
    If only its irony were the most painful thing about Flatliners, an artless and agonizingly boring remake of a semi-forgotten movie about the dangers of bringing things back from the dead.
  6. Transformers: The Last Knight
    It’s an unabashed freewheeling mess of CGI explosions, fast-talking strategies and shiny metal monstrosities clashing in epic battles. And it’s actually kind of fun, in an infuriating sort of way, to watch the most ridiculous Hollywood movie of the year do its thing.
  7. Terminal
    Vaughn Stein’s Terminal takes a mess of dead tropes and Frankensteins them together into an crime saga that’s in desperate need of brains. And a soul. And a story.
  8. Endless
    Even at a slim 95 minutes, Endless grinds on endlessly.
  9. Songbird
    For all of its gimmicky appeal, Songbird is bad enough that your entire neighborhood will be able to smell it streaming onto your TV, and it gets worse faster than your nose can adjust to the stench.
  10. Fantastic Four
    A superhero film with no power and worse special effects that attempts to rewrite a story that's yet to be told effectively.
  11. Dolittle
    The studio did its best to taxidermy this mess into something presentable, but it’s hard to make a Doctor Dolittle movie if you can’t even understand the parable of the scorpion and the frog.
  12. The Ottoman Lieutenant
    A limp and lifeless historical melodrama that aspires to be the “Pearl Harbor” of the preamble to World War I and still falls well short of that ignoble goal, Joseph Ruben’s The Ottoman Lieutenant tries to snatch a love triangle from out beneath the Armenian Genocide but fails to get any of the angles right.
  13. Borderlands
    If granted permission to bring his signature sadism to these infamously batshit characters, Roth could have delivered his “Mad Max: Fury Road.” Instead, restricted by standards that seem equally unlikely to please preteens, he was left holding a bomb.
  14. Madame Web
    An inoffensive, almost endearingly lame whiff of a movie that has the misfortune of arriving at a time when the superhero genre has almost returned to pre-MCU levels of popularity, this “Daredevil”-ass disaster is hilariously retrograde for a story about someone who discovers that she can see a few seconds into the future.
  15. Hell Fest
    A generous reading suggests that its vaguely feminist subtext is intentional rather than a happy accident, and to some extent it may well be, but for the most part Hell Fest simply adheres to long-established genre tropes.
  16. Blithe Spirit
    It’s the cinematic equivalent of day-old champagne: the taste is almost there, but the bubbles disappeared long ago.
  17. Rambo: Last Blood
    On the surface, Last Blood may be a mess of B-movie contrivances, but like its world-weary namesake, it’s also a timely window into the vanity of violent solutions, and why brutality is only viable when fighting for a lost cause.
  18. The Misfits
    It’s rarely a good sign when a movie leaves you thinking: “The Renny Harlin who made ‘The Adventures of Ford Fairlane’ would never have stood for this lazy, mean-spirited crap.”
  19. Dear David
    This low-rent, no-energy, seen-it-all-before genre wank left me absolutely terrified of returning to an era when micro-blogged cries for help could last for half a year and run the length of a novella.
  20. American Traitor: The Trial of Axis Sally
    Pacino has made a lot of movies that feel like glorified tax shelters, but this is the first that appears to have actually been shot in one.
  21. Killing Season
    Killing Season is like the Saturday morning cartoon version of a terrible movie: still bad, but at least colorful enough to go down easy.
  22. Laila in Haifa
    It’s like the most depressing speed-dating night ever organized.
  23. Rings
    Rings never solidifies into one of kind movie, cramming a handful of possibilities into its bloated running time.
  24. Generation Um...
    Though ultimately unsuccessful, it valiant reaches for a funky, wild critique of hedonistic sluggards wandering through society with no clear direction. But more than anything else, it delivers Keanu in his element.
  25. Gotti
    Connolly’s biopic isn’t a hagiography. The problem is that it’s not really anything. This is a strange thing to say about a notorious mob boss who was locked up for murder, but John Gotti deserved better.
  26. Breaking News in Yuba County
    It’s the kind of movie that seems to suck your soul out while you’re watching it, variably crass and slapstick humor landing with a bloody thud.
  27. American Skin
    An asinine and self-serving call to action that tries to hide its basic incompetence behind a veil of righteous fury.
  28. Holmes & Watson
    The trouble with Holmes & Watson, a witless Sherlock Holmes spoof that supplies fewer laughs in its entirety than “Step Brothers” does in its deleted scenes, is that the movie can never decide how dumb it wants to be. Or, more accurately, what kind of dumb it wants to be.
  29. Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe
    Wakefield's by-the-numbers approach to didactic storytelling relies on tons of random factoids positioned out of context to drive home his agenda.
  30. Collateral Beauty
    With the bizarre way Whit and his crew talk about numbers and money, Collateral Beauty is just another story about spoiled rich people.
