  1. Riddick
    An alternately kick-ass and clumsy piece of sci-fi claptrap that puts its empty head down and gets the job done.
  2. A River Runs Through It
    In relying on narration, Redford's movie is too little show and too much tell.
  3. Death Wish
    The one light at the end of this long, slogged-through tunnel is, surprisingly, Willis.

    Easter Sunday
    It’s clear that Jo Koy loves his relatives, and wants the world to know it. It’s just that his style would be better served within the more earnest confines of a traditional multi-cam sitcom.
  5. The Burnt Orange Heresy
    What a bummer that a movie that paints itself as a scintillating, sexually-charged, art-world thriller ends in a swamp of failed intentions.
  6. The Matrix Revolutions
    At the risk of understatement, The Matrix Revolutions sucks.
  7. Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula
    Though Yeon can still deliver memorable frights, like the car horn that literally does wake the dead, he can’t decide what kind of movie to make. So he does a genre mashup, tops it with a sappy ending, and hopes for the best. The result is decidedly uneven.
  8. Magic Mike's Last Dance
    Tame is what Magic Mike’s Last Dance is — what it apparently wants to be, what it becomes in exchange for its new, cardboard-simple, ostensible pro-woman worldview. The movie’s pleasures mute themselves beneath its good intentions. It wants to be about what women want. But it feels like it never asked.
  9. Lakeview Terrace
    The main problem with this treatise on racial politics undercover as an exercise in suspense is that the director, Neil LaBute, didn't write the script.
  10. A Walk in the Clouds
    Take this walk for the appetizing scenery, which includes Reeves and Sanchez-Gijon. The rest deserves squashing.
  11. The Light Between Oceans
    Life mirroring nature in all its wayward ferocity. Too much? You bet. But Fassbender (Magneto in X-Men) and Vikander (an Oscar winner for The Danish Girl), who fell in love during the making of the film, fully commit to their roles and hold us in their grip. The movie, sad to say, can't keep its head above water.
  12. Corporate Animals
    The one thing this Corporate Animals has going for it — the reason you may wanna plunk down cash to see it regardless — is Demi Moore.
  13. The Divergent Series: Insurgent
    Surprise is lacking. Ditto humor, though Miles Teller (Whiplash), as a thorn in Four's side, gets in a few fun licks by not staying on the film's draggy tempo. Otherwise, Insurgent stubbornly fails to surge.
  14. Cowboys & Aliens
    It looks slick, pricey and starry – Indiana Jones teams up with James Bond for a gunfight with space demons. But even Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig can't save a movie that's all concept, no content.
  15. All the Pretty Horses
    It doesn't help that Damon and Cruz fail to generate sparks or that the second half of the film, in which John and Lacey face hell in a Mexican prison, feels bluntly edited to fit a two-hour running time.

  16. Conspiracy Theory
    Instead of a scalding brew of mirth and malice, served black, Donner settles up a tepid latte, decaf.
  17. Imaginary Heroes
    What the movie damagingly lacks is a personality of its own.
  18. The One and Only Ivan
    The film is torn between a tough-minded plea for animal rights and edge-free, PG family entertainment. But its advocacy of kindness to man and animal is indisputable.

    Love Again
    Whatever the movie’s sporadic charms, it’s simply too small for Celine, who can only be matched by a drama with the sweep and scale of Titanic.
  20. Persuasion
    The cast puts its effort into a slightly less underwhelming movie, one a little more willing to engage this gallery of personalities, which, insofar as they’re based on the characters in the novel, are just engaging enough to watch this once and never think about again. Austen works hard. But mediocrity, this movie reminds us, works harder.
  21. Peter Pan
    Despite a hint that Peter (Jeremy Sumpter) and Wendy (Rachel Hurd-Wood) might get it on, there's nothing to crow about.
  22. Take Me Home Tonight
    One raucous night, one raunchy party, "American Graffiti filtered through "Dazed and Confused" and the Shermer High films of John Hughes.
  23. Code 46
    What doesn't spark is the love story. Morton still seems soggy from her "Minority Report" role as a drenched pre-cog. Who wants romance in a future where glum is the word?
  24. Oblivion
    For all the bells and whistles – an electronic score by M83, a screen-busting Imax presentation and Cruise going full throttle – Oblivion feels arid and antiseptic, untouched by human hands. Bummer.
  25. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
    It's as gorgeous as anything the French filmmaker has made and as empty as a Trump tweet.
  26. The Change-Up
    No matter Bateman and Reynolds make The Change-Up seem a lot better than it is. Each earns a star in my review. The movie would be literally nothing without them.
  27. Next Goal Wins
    No one’s denying that American Samoa’s brief moment of victory — it didn’t make it to Cup playoffs, yet it’s never been in last place again — is a major coup. So why does this feel like such a lost opportunity for all involved?
  28. Undertow
    It's no go. Green and Gothic make for a clumsy fit.
  29. Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
    Until the last half-hour, when Lucas actually does establish a emotional connection between the landmark he created in 1977 and the prequel investment portfolio he laid out in 1999, the movie is one spectacularly designed letdown after another.
  30. Analyze That
    The sequel, also directed by Harold Ramis, is painfully padded.
