  1. Tomb Raider
    Tomb Raider may be a less camp, more cunning take on the arts and Crofts that have made the brand a hit, but to call this a better-than average videogame movie is to damn it with faint praise. Don't hate the players. Hate the genre.
  2. Child's Play
    The gore, which is plentiful, grows repetitive and dull.
  3. The Idiots
    With shocking humor and surprising grace, Von Trier creates something unique and memorable.

  4. 21
    21 drags itself to a climax that puts credulity in splints. So what? In a multiplex of dumb-luck hits, it's a kick to watch Spacey and a gifted young cast use smarts to deal audiences a winning hand.
  5. Vertical Limit
    Pulls off thrilling stunts that will leave you a sweaty-palmed mess. It's top-tier movie escapism.
    • Rolling Stone
  6. The Core
    The Core -- with its by-the-numbers plot and performances -- isn't offensive, just unblushingly tacky and derivative.
  7. Orange County
    It's the new year's first happy surprise.
  8. Super Troopers
    Broken Lizard does it with a shit-faced integrity that's worth a salute.
  9. Bullet to the Head
    I can't detect the hand of Hill in even a single scene in Bullet in the Head. It plays like a Stallone vanity project, impure and stupefyingly simple.
  10. I'm Still Here
    Affleck's provocative, postmodern take on JP as half-joke, half-victim is the damnedest plunge into the dark heart of our "reality" culture since Sacha Baron Cohen invented Borat.
  11. Cat Person
    You can’t say that Cat Person is shy about taking the medium to task for selling a romantic ideal that’s more than a little curdled. If only it was this rigorous and incisive about the source material itself.
  12. The Girl on the Train
    That's Emily Blunt, and she is perfection, playing the hell out of this blackout drunk and adding a touch of welcome empathy.
  13. Angels & Demons
    The movie can be enjoyed for the hell-raising hooey it is.
  14. The Fantasticks
    Shot five years ago by director Michael Ritchie. No release until now. Uh-oh. Disaster? Pretty much.
    • Rolling Stone
  15. Shallow Hal
    For the first time, the Farrellys seem to be embarrassed by their own crudeness. For the first time, they should be.
  16. The Longest Yard
    What links the two films in fun and ferocity is the big game, a ripsnorter that is irresistibly entertaining.
  17. One Day
    This tear-jerking twaddle, adapted by David Nicholls from his 2009 bestseller, is nearly as bad as Anne Hathaway's British accent, which is heading for infamy.
  18. Tolkien
    A bit of a stiff as cinema, rich in atmospherics but starved for the human spark that might uncover the man behind the myth.
  19. The Perfect Host
    The dialogue is witty and spiked with delicious malice. At least it is when Pierce delivers it.
  20. Penelope
    Penelope is dead on arrival.
  21. Admission
    I'd see Tina Fey and Paul Rudd in anything, but this is pushing it. Admission is so slight that a breeze could flatten it.
  22. Paradise Road
    What should have been an affecting film becomes a rank blend of sentiment and sadism in the hands of Bruce Beresford, the Australian writer and director.
  23. Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood
    Except for Ashley Judd, who shows true grit as Vivi in her babe days, the effect is like being buried in molasses. For guys whose pain threshold is way low when it comes to the bonding of Steel Magnolias, Ya-Ya is a definite no-no.
  24. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
    Until some sort of creative second wind blows in, casual moviegoers and deeply invested fanatics may have to simply keep enduring overly familiar, frustrating placeholders like this. Quantumania revolves around a powerful villain who wants to control time. The movie itself is merely killing time.
  25. The Doom Generation
    It’s a savagely funny ride fueled by Araki’s insight and blunt compassion.
  26. The Call of the Wild
    Ford is at his droll, grumpy-old-man best, so he can do his own acting without having his emotions computer generated. At least for now.
  27. Don't Worry Darling
    By the time Darling‘s revelations are supposed to double as a call to revolution, you’re left with the sense that you’ve just witnessed the most well-designed, aesthetically pleasing angry tweet ever penned.
  28. I Feel Pretty
    But still: Is it really OK to get off making plus-size jokes just because you tack on a moralizing ending that teaches a lesson about body positivity? Can you have it both ways?
  29. The Mountain Between Us
    And just when you think this movie cannot get more unendurable ... it does. And then some. You can see every twist telegraphed from miles away even in a driving blizzard. The Mountain Between Us is epic all right – an epic waste of talent and your time.
  30. 17 Again
    Director Burr Steers, of the terrific "Igby Goes Down," is stuck polishing clichès.
