  1. I Dreamed of Africa
    Plods along in the Oscar-winning, yawn-inducing tradition of "Out of Africa," making me yearn for something less "National Geographic."

  2. Like a Boss
    What we have here is a comedy on life support, with Haddish and Byrne valiantly performing futile acts of resuscitation. Sorry to report: The patient died.
  3. Fatal Instinct
    Small jokes are buried under elaborate setups. Sight gags are repeated to the point of exhaustion — a woman’s shoe steps in gum, then toilet paper, then . . . you get the point. Most painful of all, serious actors strain to be funny.
  4. The Punisher
    Among the recent spate of comic-book movies, from "Spider-Man" to the "X-Men," The Punisher is unique.
  5. Transformers: Age Of Extinction
    The Bay-man has made the worst and most worthless Transformers movie yet. I know, hard to believe, right? How could any summer blockbuster be as dull, dumb and soul-sucking as the first three Transformers movies? Step right up.
  6. Ride Along 2
    It's simply a retread of the first Ride Along, a 2014 box-office hit, and proof positive that a bigger budget doesn’t buy bigger laughs.
  7. Chapter 27
    Don't hammer this film for trying to get inside the head of Mark David Chapman before he shot John Lennon outside the rock legend's New York apartment on December 8th, 1980. Hammer it instead for failing to do so with any depth or insight.
  8. Land of the Blind
    Political satire is so rare that it's a shame to watch the reliable Ralph Fiennes and Donald Sutherland lend their talents to one that is blind to its own incompetence.
  9. Down to Earth
    The call on this one is: dead on arrival.
  10. Play It to the Bone
    (Shelton) knows how to write pungent dialogue that covers a multitude of sins when the film goes off the rails.
    • Rolling Stone
  11. I Love You, Beth Cooper
    Aiming for the heartfelt hilarity of "Superbad," I Love You, Beth Cooper is just super bad.
  12. Paranoia
    It galls me that Hollywood thinks we're shallow enough to swallow this swill. Or am I just being paranoid?
  13. Independence Day: Resurgence
    Independence Day: Resurgence pretends there's fresh ground to cover. There isn't, but director Roland Emmerich makes a good show of faking it.
  14. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
    I don't know what to say about the acting, writing and directing in G.I. Joe because I couldn't find any.
  15. Masked and Anonymous
    It's only when the film attempts to express its ideas in spoken English that logic dissolves into a muddle that would test the most rabid Dylanologist.
  16. Warcraft
    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.
  17. Repo! The Genetic Opera
    Misery is enduring this Rocky Horror Paris Show.
  18. Cats
    Attention, moviegoers searching for the worst movie of the year: We have a late-breaking winner. Cats slips in right under the radar and easily scores as the bottom of the 2019 barrel — and arguably of the decade. Even Michael Bay’s trash trilogy of soul-destroying Transformers movies can’t hold a candle. What happened?
  19. Land of the Lost
    Will Ferrell and Danny McBride can find the dumb fun in anything. Too bad that Land of the Lost is so much less than anything.
  20. Swordfish
    Exhibits rank incompetence on every level.

    Firestarter
    The effects are dodgy and unconvincing. The emotional investment is nil. The running time is only 94 minutes long, thus proving there may, in fact, be a merciful higher power out there. It’s still a four-alarm disaster.
  22. Robin Hood
    Arriving just in time to win a place among the year’s worst films, Robin Hood — bursting with an entitled sense of its own non-existent coolness — falls flat on its fat one.
  23. Alex & Emma
    Reiner gets lucky with his two stars. Wilson has charm to spare, and Hudson brings humor and sexiness to playing Emma and four au pair girls from different countries. But even they can't float a balloon with lead in it.
  24. Tom & Jerry
    As for viewers, well … whoever won in the endless round-robin of interspecies chicanery, we all lost.

    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.
  26. Someone Like You...
    The film is a distinct pleasure.
  27. Saint John of Las Vegas
    First-time director and screenwriter Hue Rhodes shows no discernible talent for dialogue, humor and, especially, pacing.
  28. Untraceable
    Talk about your pious frauds. I've got a better way to show your disgust for Internet scum: Don't see Untraceable.
  29. Weekend at Bernie's
    All cast members seem willing to make total fools of themselves for our delectation. A fine but futile gesture. The bad news is that even with such yeoman efforts, it's still impossible to drag one tired joke around for nearly two hours. Like Bernie, the movie ends up dead on its feet.
  30. Tyler Perry's Acrimony
    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.
