  1. Guardians of the Galaxy
    It’s a bit of a botch.
  2. Get On Up
    In 2007, Jamie Foxx won Best Actor for his subtle performance as Ray Charles. Boseman exceeds that solid standard. Incarnating James Brown in all his ornery uniqueness, he deserves a Pulitzer, a Nobel and instant election to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
  3. Boyhood
    A home movie of a fictional home life, an epic assembled from vignettes, Boyhood shimmers with unforced reality. It shows how an ordinary life can be reflected in an extraordinary movie.
  4. Lucy
    The summer’s best, coolest, juiciest, smartest action movie.
  5. Sex Tape
    Massively stupid: preposterous yet boring.
  6. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
    When it gets going, it’s a pretty fine movie.
  7. Tammy
    This one is bad — a little comedy that flops in big ways.
  8. Transformers: Age Of Extinction
    Nothing coheres. Movies usually try to come together at the end; this one falls apart. If that's Bay intention, then cinema has finally entered its Age of Extinction.
  9. Jersey Boys
    So why is the Jersey Boys film a turgid botch? Eastwood’s résumé hints at a reason. His affinity is for American standards as improvised on piano or guitar by indigenous artists in smoky nightclubs, not for the tightly wound, impeccably pounding songs that Bob Gaudio and Bob Crewe wrote for the Four Seasons.
  10. 22 Jump Street
    The best comic turns are by the Afro-Asian twins Keith and Kenny Lucas, whose timing is eerie and superb.
  11. Edge of Tomorrow
    A furiously time-looping joy ride and the smartest action film of the early summer season.
  12. The Fault in Our Stars
    Hazel and Augustus will live in film lore because of the young actors who play them.
  13. Filth
    This one starts at the level of lunacy and keeps on escalating. Next to Filth, "Trainspotting" looks as sedate as "The Polar Express."
  14. Maleficent
    Except for Angelina Jolie, exemplary as the fairy badmother who laid a narcotic curse on an infant princess, this pricey live-action drama is a dismaying botch.
  15. Godzilla
    Edwards’ Godzilla dawdles toward its Doomsday climax; the movie could win a prize for Least Stuff Happening in the First Two-Thirds of an Action Film... It’s a concept lacking a magnetic story, a package without a product.
  16. Neighbors
    Tries anything for a gross-out laugh — but feels oh-so-familiar
  17. The Amazing Spider-Man 2
    Frantic and rote by turns, mislaying the power of the central love story and piling on the mutant adversaries. For at least this installment, Spider-Man is Amazing no more.
  18. The Other Woman
    And yet, all three women are less watchable and amusing that Nicki Minaj as Carly’s legal assistant Lydia.
  19. Transcendence
    Clever ideas early on go rogue, or go missing, in the gallop toward an action-film climax that then, perversely, doesn’t materialize. The movie’s intelligence is artificial, its affect solemn.
  20. Rio 2
    A little less agreeable and way more aggressive than its better begetter, Rio 2 has the overstuffed agenda of a movie that’s been focus-grouped to death.
  21. Under the Skin
    Under the Skin falls in love with its bleak monotony. It is a melodrama with all the thrills surgically excised.
  22. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
    Steve and the movie still fly high through plot twists and cool stunts.
  23. Noah
    Darren Aronofsky brings wild ambition and thrilling artistry to one of the Old Testament’s best-known, most dramatic, least plausible stories — Noah and the ark — with Russell Crowe infusing the role of God’s first seaman and zookeeper with all his surly majesty.
  24. Jodorowsky's Dune
    The message to take from Jodorowsky’s Dune: movies once had brains and balls, and lost them.
    • 48 Metascore

    Divergent
    For a film that supposedly celebrates freethinking, there’s a woeful lack of it here.
  26. Nymphomaniac: Volume I
    It’s as if von Trier shot the main scenes while in one of his famous depressive funks, then edited the film in a more cheerful, impish mood. At times, the tantalizing mixture of sexual neurosis and wayward humor in this memoir of a woman of pleasure suggests a collision between "Fanny Hill" and "Annie Hall."
  27. Need For Speed
    This is cinema reduced or distilled to its purest definition, of movies that move. If you want dewy humanity in your entertainment, watch Lifetime.
  28. Bad Words
    Bad Words seems to be heading into the creepy realm of a sociopath’s case study, yet it’s presented as a breezy satire about a rebel against the system. It must be the Dictionary-Industrious Complex.
  29. Enemy
    Enemy is an arid parable, in which actors are neutered, zombified; they signify themes rather than occupying personalities.
  30. Mr. Peabody & Sherman
    With more sentiment and splash than the original’s sharp wit, Mr. Peabody & Sherman ends up teaching the same lesson as “Peabody’s Improbable History”: every dog should have a boy.
