  1. Jonah is fated to ride alone. Don't make the mistake of keeping him company.
  2. Audiences forced to endure the 109 coma-inducing minutes of Serena should bring an e-book or a soft pillow.
  3. The real burned-out case is director-writer Peter Bogdanovich. The Last Picture Show made his reputation, and these aging Texans trying to rediscover their innocence obviously touch him deeply. But Bogdanovich’s style has turned heavy, crude and incoherent.
  4. Result? It's not scary, just busy.
  5. Hiddleston is not what's wrong with this movie. But damn near everything else is.
  6. The Expendables 3, trading on our affection for action stars of the past, has officially worn out its already shaky welcome.
  7. Bloated, boring, repetitive, draining.
  8. Here's a comedy of punishing tedium that pretends to be hip when it's so five minutes ago.
  9. I'm dumbfounded by the idea of remaking a movie that was no damn good in the first place. Is it the possibility of making it better? The exact opposite happens with Flatliners.
  10. This is the safe and sorry Disney version, suitable for anyone under 10 or gullible to the point of idiocy.
  11. Something cold and mechanical has seeped into the sequel. The divas push so hard for fun, it kills the spontaneity that fun needs to breathe.
  12. "Irritating" doesn't begin to describe Julia Roberts as Katherine, an art-history prof who arrives at Wellesley in 1953.
  13. Cowabunga, the vigilante demi-gods on a half shell are back, and more inane and irritating than ever. Their antics make the 112 minutes it takes to watch this frenetic followup to 2014's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles a torturous mindfuck for any sentient being over the age of infancy.
  14. Feels fake, forced and indigestible.
  15. "Sixth Sense" rip-off.
  16. The perfect summer movie, that is if you're eight years old or under. For the rest of us, the sequel to the first "Fantastic Four" that miraculously amassed more than $150 million in 2005, is a plotless, brainless, witless bore.
  17. "Your incompetence is most taxing," says the chief vampire (Bill Nighy). A line that pretty much nails this rusty Blade.
  18. Delivery Man is one joke stretched to the breaking point. Mine was reached.
  19. Final Analysis suffers from something much worse: terminal shallowness.
  20. The title of this limp retread of "Minority Report" -- both films are based on stories by Philip K. Dick -- presumably refers to the reason the big names involved did this movie.
  21. Enduing a full 120 minutes of this sh*tstorm takes its toll. Bitterness, anger, malice, bad blood – that’s acrimony, baby. And that's what you'll feel if you blow the price of ticket on this hack job.
  22. Max
    "You're an awfully hard man to like, Hitler." Few serious films could survive a line like that. Max certainly doesn't.
  23. Grating.
  24. It galls me that Hollywood thinks we're shallow enough to swallow this swill. Or am I just being paranoid?
  25. The real plague is the movie, a sci-fi hodgepodge of bad history and worse special effects.
  26. What's onscreen is a godawful mess, leaving the actors to suck wind while the film collapses around them. If you've never played the game, you might as well watch the movie stoned.
  27. This kind of pandering FX padding, unnurtured by humor or heart, is what shifts Jupiter Ascending from a shambles to a fiasco. In an effort to win back audiences by lowering their standards and their daring, the Wachowskis wind up where you never expected to find them creatively: on the ropes.
  28. Director Luke Greenfield, the auteur behind "The Animal," starring Rob Schneider, wants to pass off this limp-dick farce as social satire. Ha!
  29. This lame-ass chick-flick sampling of "Crazy Heart" is more like country Kryptonite.
  30. Estevez means well. But having your heart in the right place is no excuse for insipid ineptitude.
