  1. The Death of Robin Hood
    A brutal and bloody (for a while, anyway) showcase for Hugh Jackman hidden beneath a shaggy beard, with not much more to recommend it.
  2. Toy Story 5
    Feels profound while still delivering the requisite laughs and fun.
  3. Disclosure Day
    This middling movie, intriguing but oddly incomplete, plays at best like Spielberg Lite.
  4. Office Romance
    This Netflix movie actually rises above most of the herd, thanks largely to co-writer and co-star Brett Goldstein.
  5. Scary Movie
    The joke-a-minute formula is very hit-miss.
  6. Masters of the Universe
    Masters of the Universe demonstrates how a few missteps can transform an aspiring blockbuster with appealing elements into a streaming-bound 98-pound weakling.
  7. Miss You, Love You
    It has the feel of a filmed play—transparently intended to land Allison Janney a 16th Emmy nomination and potentially an eighth win.
  8. The Breadwinner
    A movie that would have at best qualified as about the 17th-best new comedy of 1995.
  9. Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Ghost War
    Despite an abundance of action, “Jack Ryan: Ghost War” never comes to life.
  10. Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu
    There’s a Saturday-matinee-type unpretentiousness about the film that doesn’t really aspire to much more than letting the audience have a good time.
  11. Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D)
    Given the frequent weeping captured from her die-hard, singing-along fans, 4DX would really be the killer app, approximating the spray of their abundant tears of joy.
  12. Mortal Kombat II
    Loyalists should be there for the premiere, but after that, one suspects it’s game over.
  13. Remarkably Bright Creatures
    A near-irresistible and highly emotional adaptation of Shelby Van Pelt’s bestselling novel.
  14. The Devil Wears Prada 2
    Those involved are smart enough to recognize what people really want is the warm tidings of a stylish reunion, and in terms of navigating that narrow runway, the movie mostly delivers.
  15. Apex
    A 90-some-odd-minute adrenaline rush that gets stretched out a bit beyond its weight even with its modest running time.
  16. I Swear
    A coming-of-age tale that, without breaking new ground, ranks high among recent entries in its well-worn genre.
  17. Michael
    "Michael" conveys the feeling of a slickly produced licensed product.
  18. Lee Cronin's The Mummy
    The basic premise could have been called “Lee Cronin’s The Exorcist,” although that probably wouldn’t have cleared legal.
  19. You, Me & Tuscany
    Unlike its protagonist, there’s a refreshing lack of guile or pretense here about what this modest but breezy movie is and wants to be.
  20. Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice
    Frankly, I’d begin with having future me warn the present-day version to skip this.
  21. They Will Kill You
    An absurdly stylized action-horror-comedy mashup that somehow makes a satanic cult, wanton violence, and buckets of blood boring.
  22. Project Hail Mary
    Ryan Gosling and a faceless rock creature forge an unlikely bromance in an adaptation of Andy Weir’s novel that manages to be alternately touching, stirring and silly.
  23. Reminders of Him
    The movie rises and falls on Monroe and Withers’ workmanlike performances, leaving it to the heart-tugging subject matter, mostly, to carry it across the finish line.
  24. The Bride!
    The stitched-together concept proves too bizarre and disjointed to catch lightning in a bottle.
  25. Hoppers
    Hoppers certainly has the vibrant feel of a plush-toy merchandising bonanza waiting to happen.
  26. Scream 7
    Deftly serves old wine in an equally old bottle.
  27. Crime 101
    An extremely down-to-earth, character-driven heist movie that in the best ways resembles similar fare from the 1990s.
  28. Wuthering Heights
    Fennell ratchets up the volume to 11, with more emphasis on smoldering and sexuality than literature, at the risk of bastardizing Bronte’s tale beyond recognition.
  29. Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die
    At times the film feels like “Black Mirror” on peyote.
  30. Melania
    Melania fails to yield almost any unguarded moments, so intently focusing on its subject as she walks through venues in high heels as to approximate the feeling of a 104-minute perfume commercial.
  31. Mercy
    Whatever the A.I. judge’s verdict, this human one says to wait for streaming.
  32. The Rip
    Landing on Netflix, it’s not terrible, but by the time the credits roll it’s pretty clear why it landed directly on Netflix.
  33. 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
    The latest installment is insanely weird, gruesomely violent, and features incredibly hammy roles for Ralph Fiennes and “Sinners’” Jack O’Connell.
  34. Marty Supreme
    “Uncut Gems” gets a spiritual sequel.
  35. Avatar: Fire and Ash
    A 197-minute epic that piles on breathless rescues and battles in a manner whose ultimate goal seems to be exhaustion as an artistic choice, if not outright “Kneel before Zod” submission.
  36. Ella McCay
    James L. Brooks has no creative mountains left to climb, but watching the ill-conceived “Ella McCay” it’s hard not to wish he had quit while he was ahead.
  37. Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery
    The third installment in Rian Johnson’s still-entertaining spin on Agatha Christie for our times exhibits signs of yielding diminishing returns.
  38. Jay Kelly
    Think of “Jay Kelly” as a taller and better-looking version of Woody Allen’s “Stardust Memories."
  39. Wicked: For Good
    "Wicked” should be considered as one sweeping, five-hour canvas. And if the slightly shorter second half doesn’t fully measure up to the original, that does little to detract from director Jon M. Chu’s overall accomplishment.
  40. Frankenstein
    While it’s worth watching, what clearly aspires to be the definitive telling of the story ultimately isn’t.
  41. Predator: Badlands
    It feels ready-made fodder for streaming’s “You might like” tier.
  42. Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere
    It’s a very different spotlight that falls on The Boss with “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere,” a deeply personal film about both his artistic integrity and inner demons.
  43. TRON: Ares
    In what amounts to damnation with the faintest of praise, Tron: Ares is slightly less incoherent than its most recent predecessor (granted, not a particularly high bar), while taking advantage of the passage of time to improve on the visuals, since “Legacy’s” de-aging process involving original star Jeff Bridges served as a lifeless distraction.
