  1. The Huntsman: Winter's War
    The film borrows plenty, but it brings nothing new.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Elvis & Nixon
    Johnson’s film is filled with tedium instead of delirium.
  3. Criminal
    Quick, what do you call it when a movie takes both of the year’s biggest breakout action stars and wastes them in a bad Kevin Costner movie? Criminal.
  4. The Jungle Book
    Has the bare necessities, but not much more.
  5. Green Room
    For those who enjoy the goriest of thrillers, there is plenty of red running through Green Room.
  6. Barbershop: The Next Cut
    At times, the latest Barbershop might get too serious for some, but as far as the comedy goes, it remains a cut above the rest.
  7. Hardcore Henry
    Stupid as a bag of hammers and twice as loud, Hardcore Henry sounds like the title of the worst Kissinger bio ever. Actually, it's an action movie that feels more like you are trapped in a video game. A really, really bad video game.
  8. Louder Than Bombs
    A quiet, restrained drama, Louder Than Bombs works a little like a photographer itself, changing its focus, showcasing scenes from different points of view, rearranging the order of the images.
  9. Demolition
    Demolition is a wreck.
  10. One More Time
    Walken is great in the tragicomic role of a long-tooth singer. Better still, he deserves a Billboard hit for his on-key — and on-fleeck — version of Joe McGinty’s “When I Live My Life Over Again.”
  11. The Boss
    If they gave out badges for smutty language, this movie would have lots. There’s nothing wrong with that. But filthy doesn’t automatically equal funny.
  12. Miles Ahead
    Directed by, and starring, Don Cheadle, it's more about truth than facts. Did this all happen just the way it's laid out? Definitely not. But if the notes are wrong, the themes are right.
  13. Everybody Wants Some!!
    There's never an emotional moment here to compete, or even compare, with his last film, "Boyhood." But there's not supposed to be. Everybody Wants Some!! is as laid-back and low-pressure as a Saturday afternoon at someone's dorm room.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Fastball
    There’s nothing here that wouldn’t have fit comfortably into an hour-long TV special, and it starts to drag after a while.
  15. My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2
    Among the lessons learned: marriages need tending and distance can make people closer. Not earth-shaking, but harmless. Like this sequel.
  16. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
    It's all angst and no adventure, a lot of fury and little fun.
  17. Pee-wee's Big Holiday
    If Pee-wee's Big Holiday is never really hilarious, neither is it ever dull. It floats along, offering goofy gags and relentlessly silly jokes that will have you LOLing — sometimes in spite of yourself.
  18. The Divergent Series: Allegiant
    The only thing that's revolting is how dull the series has gotten.
  19. The Bronze
    The Bronze isn’t a brilliant game-changer, just a funny and filthy diversion.
  20. 10 Cloverfield Lane
    Tractenberg, evidently a fan of lingering close-ups, lets the audience marinate in a claustrophobic vibe.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Brothers Grimsby
    If you like dumb gross-out comedies featuring men fellating each other, double entendres about penises and feces, and an obsession with the anus straight out of elementary school, you’ll love Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest effort. If you don’t, what, pray tell, is wrong with you?!
  22. Remember
    See Remember. You won't regret it — or forget it.
  23. Hello, My Name Is Doris
    Luckily for Hello, My Name Is Doris, Sally Field is still so likable, really likable.
  24. Eye in the Sky
    As the colonel, Mirren is terrific — a fierce warrior willing to bend as many rules of engagement as it takes. As her commanding officer, the late Alan Rickman is just as dedicated but a little tired of bloodshed.
  25. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
    It's tasty at times, but feels like a very special episode of "30 Rock." Halfway in, you're still expecting Kenneth the Page to show up.
  26. London Has Fallen
    Remember “Olympus Has Fallen”? This one is worse.
  27. Knight of Cups
    It’s visually sumptuous but laborious. Worse, it’s pretty humorless. Knight of Cups takes itself very seriously.
  28. Zootopia
    Zootopia is so well done I forgot it was animated.
  29. Gods of Egypt
    Director Alex Proyas’ movie feels like a bad video game.
  30. Eddie the Eagle
    Hugh Jackman doesn't play Wolverine in Eddie the Eagle, which is too bad. The film deserves to be slashed to bits.
