  1. Doors
    It comes across more like a showreel than a stand-alone film, like, a confusingly edited sizzle teaser for a much more in-depth Doors drama series.

    Rebel Moon Part 1: A Child of Fire
    A Child of Fire is not only a bore, it’s a shoddy-looking one.
  3. America: The Motion Picture
    Any goodwill provided by the concept or cast is utterly squandered by a film that packs in endless references without having anything whatsoever to say.
  4. 365 Days: This Day
    There are no stakes, and there’s little that’s offensive, except to the art and craft of cinema. It’s funny. It’s glossy. It’s a fantasy. It’s safe. It’s soft.
  5. 6 Underground
    It’s a disappointment to discover that Bay’s new Netflix movie, 6 Underground, is utterly joyless.
  6. War of the Worlds
    The only redeeming quality: Ice Cube now has a place on Mount Razziemore in a movie I can only hope earns its own Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode.
  7. Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey
    The pacing is leaden, the visuals are murky, and there’s pretty much no reason to care about anyone on the screen, except to idly wonder how they’re going to die, and what their innards will look like when they do.
  8. Antebellum
    Though the filmmakers hoped to balance the historical atrocities of slavery with contemporary racial oppression, Antebellum — yet another unnecessary slave movie — rarely feels like a horror flick. Instead, its needless brutality, ropy character work, and misguided twist make it easily 2020’s worst movie so far.
  9. Pinocchio
    By studiously spelling out each emotion, Zemeckis and Weitz remove any potential for enigmatic complexity. And while the computer technology bringing Pinocchio to life is nowhere near as creepy as anything in Zemeckis’ Polar Express, that’s mitigated by how obviously fake he is anytime there’s a shot with a human actor “touching” or “holding” the little wooden boy.
  10. Red Notice
    Featuring a trio of supposed movie stars who lack the panache or charisma of true marquee headliners, Red Notice is another visually ghastly bid at building a franchise on the back of breathtakingly boring action sequences.
