  1. Celebrity
    Suffers from lulls and lapses and one lulu of a casting gaffe, but this keenly observant spoof of the fame game is hardly the work of a burnout.
  2. The Stepford Wives
    Close gets laughs, as does Bette Midler as a Jewish rebel. But the sting is gone.
  3. xXx: Return of Xander Cage
    Diesel has chosen to keep selling stupid to audiences who are inexplicably eager to gobble it up. Damn shame.
  4. Armageddon
    How do I hate Armageddon? Let me count the ways.
  5. The Great Wall
    It plays like like a video game in which the goal is to kill as many of these green-blooded monsters as you can before time's up. It's fun for about 10 minutes, and then the tedium seeps in.
  6. For Love or Money
    It took four screenwriters to turn a potent premise into mush. There’s some compensation in a solid supporting cast, especially Fyvush Finkel of TV’s Picket Fences as the world’s oldest bellboy. But director Barry Sonnenfeld shows little of the wicked spirit he brought to The Addams Family.
  7. The Family
    Robert De Niro – wait for it – in the role of a mobster. Now there's an original idea.
  8. Opus
    Unfortunately, Malkovich thrusting in a metallic space suit may indeed be the sole takeaway of this attempt at a social thriller.
  9. From Paris with Love
    Has no vital signs at all, just crushing dull repetition that makes one noisy, violent scene play exactly like the last one.
  10. Underworld
    "Your incompetence is most taxing," says the chief vampire (Bill Nighy). A line that pretty much nails this rusty Blade.
  11. Transformers: Dark of the Moon
    Transformers: Dark of the Moon - high on any list of the worst blockbusters ever - is a movie bereft of wit, wonder, imagination, and any genuine reason for being. Watching it makes you die a little inside.
  12. Breaking In
    The listless, leaden acting, writing and direction in this breathtakingly stupid bomb-ola defies audiences to stay conscious through its drag-ass 88 minutes.
  13. Endings, Beginnings
    Though the movie stalls frequently before it finds its balance, Woodley makes us care.
  14. Along Came a Spider
    Alex Cross has been neutered on film, deprived of his sexuality, his family, his friends.
  15. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
    The money shots of the living tableau are padded with jokes that feel embalmed before the actors get them out of their mouths.
  16. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
    The movie deserves a stake through the heart.
  17. RoboCop 2
    It's difficult to imagine a summer film programmed more cynically than this repugnant sequel. RoboCop 2 is all machine, and it's all vile.
  18. The Last House on the Left
    Audiences with a brain cell left have only one choice: Look for the first exit on the right.
  19. 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.
  20. The House That Jack Built
    Jack proves he’s (von Trier) also capable of making a failed act of provocation. The fact that he ends the movie in hell seems superfluous. We’ve already been there for two and a half hours.
  21. 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.
  22. Bel Ami
    With that cast, we rightfully expect fireworks. What we get is the film equivalent of a wet blanket.
  23. The Roads Not Taken
    There’s no doubting Potter’s laudable ambition to capture the swirling headspace of her brother, who died in 2013. But in trying to restore his dignity in fighting the dying of the light, she’s neglected to portray him in the human terms that would let us share his spirit.
  24. Breakfast of Champions
    Quite a spectacle, but the movie falls flat.

  25. Halloween Kills
    As with so many middle parts of proposed trilogies, Halloween Kills feels designed to get you from Point A to a future Point C. It forgets, however, that a middle chapter still has to work on its own, and that stranding fans, completists, casual moviegoers, etc. in a weak-link entry runs the risk of permanently turning people off of the whole endeavor.
  26. Suburbicon
    Clooney is too talented and committed a filmmaker not to get in his licks. But with Suburbicon, he's made a movie that is tonally at war with itself.
  27. King Arthur: Legend of the Sword
    An epic bore that believes if you make a movie long and loud and repetitive enough, audiences will conclude it's saying something profound. Wrong.
  28. 6 Underground
    OK, so, listen: There’s really no point describing what happens, or how, or when, or why. This is not a narrative film. This is not “cinema,” or maybe it is, who the f**k knows anymore? This is a Michael Bay movie.
  29. Larry Crowne
    Larry Crowne is more than a missed opportunity. It's alarmingly, depressingly out of touch.
  30. John Tucker Must Die
    Awful.
