  1. Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV
    The film is, at least, a marvelously enticing advertisement for the upcoming Final Fantasy XV video game.
  2. Java Heat
    A middling genre movie, but it's oddly likable for its conflicted, unresolved tension.
  3. Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver
    The Scargiver feels like a loosely threaded series of grand ideas and sincere emotional beats that require so much more connective tissue to thread together into an actual narrative worth investing in.
  4. The Three Musketeers
    A moment's patience is soon rewarded by Anderson's vast store of rich, intoxicating imagery.
  5. Diablo
    It inelegantly attempts to infuse a standard revenge western with the gravitas of a war veteran's coming-home odyssey.
  6. The Wedding Ringer
    This big, brash, occasionally clever, but mostly dumb comedy is so gallingly derivative that watching it feels like playing a game of basic-cable bingo.
  7. Diana
    Are the micro-biopics that don't even bother to provide overviews of their famed subjects' entire lives, but instead lean on the spectacle of celebrity impersonation, the new camp?

    The Binge
    If The Purge cynically saw humans as itching to unleash their pent-up violence, The Binge recognizes us all as horny nitwit fratboys at heart who need an excuse to cut loose.
  9. Self/less
    The film's corporate blandness is almost as dispiriting as its disinterest in exploiting the inherent saliency of the material.
  10. The Assignment
    Walter Hill and Michelle Rodriguez seem to share Frank’s confusion over the precise difference between cosmetic and biological reality.
  11. Keeping Up with the Joneses
    By the time the film limps toward its Marrakech-set epilogue epilogue, its experiment in social osmosis is as much a failure as its B-sitcom-grade yuks.
  12. A Long Way Down
    An inept trifle, Pascal Chaumeil's film reduces Nick Hornby's novel of the same name to a series of smug self-help gestures.
  13. Twice Born
    Sergio Castellitto's film quickly turns out to be more interested in reveling in the secrets of its storyline than in its sentiments.
  14. The Forest
    The so-called suicide forest's cultural value is trivialized in the bum-rush to liberate the main characters from their agonies.
  15. Bitter Harvest
    The film is an awkward mix of swashbuckling love story and polemic, painted in very broad strokes.
  16. Copperhead
    Ron Maxwell's film, from beginning to end, exudes all the excitement of a textbook history lesson.
  17. Aloft
    The film's images, so continually heartrending so as to never become redundant, effectively function as visual proselytizing.
  18. The Dark Tower
    The decade-long effort to bring the Dark Tower books to the screen looks like a cheap, unauthorized cash-in.
  19. The Last Witch Hunter
    It has enough ingredients for a reasonably entertaining fantasy adventure—except, that is, for an interesting lead character with an emotionally compelling hook.
  20. The Color of Time
    If The Tree of Life was a contemplation of the universal mysteries and verities of life, The Color of Time is an hour spent scrolling through a stranger's family album.
  21. The War with Grandpa
    Only when left to their own devices do the film’s stars enter the less manic, more heartfelt realm of the book.
  22. Festival of Lights
    Fifteen minutes into Festival of Lights you come to the discouraging realization that you know every infuriating plot beat that will follow.
  23. Get Hard
    The filmmakers largely stand out of Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart's way, but they also refuse to modulate the story's racial humor with any sense of subversion.
  24. Beyond the Reach
    If all a movie needed was a boy with abs and a gun (or slingshot), then Beyond the Reach would be a masterpiece.
  25. Hide Away
    A banal "poetic" drama of a grieving stranger licking his wounds in a bayside Michigan town.
  26. Vanguard
    The film is an uncanny reflection of the jingoism that Hollywood has been wrapping in glossy spectacle and exporting to foreign markets for decades.
    • 34 Metascore

    Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
    To question where things went wrong feels somehow strange, as the project seems to have been ill-conceived from the very start.
    • 34 Metascore
    • 0 Critic Score
    Mother's Day
    A home-invasion film like Mother's Day is elongated coitus interruptus.
  29. Fireflies in the Garden
    The actors are left to go through the motions of a sterile script that director Dennis Lee tries to bring to life not through, for example, Watson's brilliant capacity for facial nuance, but through canned artifice.
  30. Red One
    It’s neither naughty or nice, and in Santa’s book, that likely means it just ends up getting nothing this Christmas.
