    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.
  2. Dolittle
    This out-and-out disaster dissolves in a puddle of botched intentions that will leave children sad and confused and adults scratching their heads.
  3. The Ice Road
    Neeson has made better pulpy B movies, and he’ll probably make worse ones than this. The good news is that, like buses, a new film from the star tends to come around every few hours, so you can skip this one without regrets.
  4. Little Nicky
    Where's Sandler in all this? Lost in gimmicks that smack of desperation. Damn it.
    • Rolling Stone
  5. Cruel Intentions
    It's not the trite talk that sends Cruel Intentions into a tailspin, it's the lightweight casting.
  6. It's What's Inside
    This tale of self-involved millennials, a mystery machine, and a whole mess of purposefully mistaken identities is the kind of mashup of high-concept horror and ham-fisted satire that mistakes complicated for complex and a pile-up of confusing plot twists for storytelling.
  7. Freddy Got Fingered
    It feels manufactured to be suitable for mass consumption.
  8. Passion of Mind
    An indigestible chunk of romantic marshmallow.
    • Rolling Stone
  9. 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.
  10. Argylle
    There’s a deadening feeling you get watching all of this, as if Argylle’s real revelation is: We’ve cracked the code on how to take a handful of your favorite actors and a surefire ha-ha-bang-bang storyline and leech every single thing out that you usually like about these kinds of things.
  11. The Exorcist: Believer
    There are moments in this borderline incoherent mess of a movie in which fans may be convinced that its sole purpose is to try making the original follow-up, 1977’s legendarily godawful Exorcist II: The Heretic, look positively genius by comparison.
  12. Tom & Jerry
    As for viewers, well … whoever won in the endless round-robin of interspecies chicanery, we all lost.
  13. Ghosted
    What When Harry Met Sally made clear is that the keys to a good romcom are a tight, witty script (RIP Nora Ephron) and likable leads that can make it sing. Ghosted, like so many modern-day romcoms, opts for the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink approach. Sometimes less is more, Hollywood.
  14. Scream 7
    This seventh chapter just seems to be exploiting our affection for the Scream team’s history and thinking die-hards will simply go see anything with the name slapped on it.
  15. Rambo: Last Blood
    The taste of toxicity will overwhelm whatever pulpy grindhouse pleasures you might have experienced. A franchise that started off with a sense of betrayal and righteous anti-authoritarian anger ends by parroting authoritarian talking points that betray what this country is about. Let this please be the last of its kind.
  16. The Hustle
    They say it’s all in the timing, especially when it comes to funny business. But in The Hustle everyone’s inner comedic clock is calamitously off. The setups are flat, the jokes don’t land and the actors don’t — or won’t — connect.

    Sound of Freedom
    Apart from its relentless messaging, the movie is hobbled by a near-total absence of procedural logic.
  18. Spiral: From the Book of Saw
    This is the final game: Do you recommend this to your friends out of brand loyalty, knowing that they’re Saw completists and hey, you endured this, so why shouldn’t they? Or should you take mercy on them and let them know that Spiral should be avoided at all costs, regardless of its slasher-flick pedigree.
  19. The Way of the Gun
    Doesn't deliver an ounce of charm.
    • Rolling Stone
  20. Stigmata
    There should be a place in hell for hacks who turn out derivative terror trash and then pretend they're doing an important investigative piece on Vatican corruption.
    • Rolling Stone
  21. Exit Plan
    It’s slog, slog, slog, all the way.
  22. 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.
  23. From Hell
    The Hughes boys blow it by burying a fine cast -- Robbie Coltrane as a cop and Ian Holm as a royal sawbones are standouts -- in stock scares, sappy romance and cliches that really are from hell.
  24. Rock Star
    Launches the fall season with a crashing thud.
  25. The Mexican
    Promises a road movie of blissful comic romance and delivers a series of dramatic dead ends.
  26. Fixed
    Fixed should have been, by any measure, the fix we needed in terms of balls-out hilarity about neurotic, sex-crazed creatures, or even just a parable from an animation godhead about humans being just as beholden to animal instincts as our four-legged friends. Instead, we get a wildly uneven, totally obvious, and often painfully unfunny 80 minutes.
  27. Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2
    While the first movie steadily tighened its vise, the second loosens its grip through strained acting and incoherent plotting.
    • Rolling Stone
  28. Sugar & Spice
    Give the girls a cheer, but remember: "Bring It On" is still the poo, Missy. Take a big whiff.
  29. Charlotte Gray
    Director Gillian Armstrong turns Sebastian Faulks' pungent novel about World War II into a soporific.
  30. The Nutcracker and the Four Realms
    Slow torture for kids and grownups alike, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms gives a bad name to the very concept of family entertainment.
