    Jurassic World Rebirth
    Despite too many two-dimensional characters, a bloated story, and forgettable mutant dinosaurs, Rebirth still manages to deliver some of the franchise’s best set-pieces. Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johansson stand out in this unscary sequel that needed a little more time in amber before being extracted.
  2. The Wall
    The sci-fi premise seems preposterous, but get beyond that and Gedeck’s predicament absorbs.
  3. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
    Despite a handful of high points and Raimi flourishes, Strange’s second solo film rarely feels like the best possible outcome of this confluence of director and character.
  4. Salmon Fishing in the Yemen
    Tamer than the book and not as funny, this is Salmon filleted. But McGregor and Blunt make fetching lovebirds, while Kristin Scott Thomas is off the scale in a rare comic outing.

    Now You See Me
    Ocean’s Eleven meets The Prestige? Not quite. Starts well, ends in a heap, but in between there’s just enough splash and flash to distract from the lack of substance
  6. Assassin's Creed
    Valiant, but flawed. Some of the set-pieces are superb, but there isn’t enough meat on the bones to turn this into a classic.

    Damsels in Distress
    A mixed return for Stillman, Damsels is so whimsically out of step it's like a time-travel comedy without the time travel. Fortunately, Gerwig and some dazzling dialogue save his blushes.
  8. No One Lives
    Depending on taste, you’ll be left either barfing or laughing.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Internship
    Vaughn and Wilson. eight years on from "Wedding Crashers," the pair successfully rekindle their irascible shtick.
  10. Ralph Breaks the Internet
    A so-so sequel enlivened by a few inspired moments. Ralph and Vanellope are still good company, but this concept might have worked better as a series of shorts.
  11. 21 Jump Street
    With Hill on co-scripting duties with Scott Pilgrim scribe Michael Bacall, 21 Jump Street was always going to live or die by its gags. Fortunately, it boasts that sweet-yet-dirty comedy that Hill revels in.
  12. Evil Dead
    Closer to Eli Roth than Sam Raimi, this brutal retread combines J-horror atmospherics with torture-porn kills. It’s more evisceration than invention but at least has the courage of its bloody-minded convictions.
  13. Road House
    In the end, Road House is a solid actioner, a frolic that Liman marshals competently. This is a fun Friday-night fight-fest, best enjoyed with a few bevvies – brash, loud, knockabout and liable to leave you with a cauliflower ear or two.

    Chasing Mavericks
    By the time it’s over, you’ll either be heading for the beach or vowing never to go in the water again.
  15. Lu Over the Wall
    The end-stretch is overlong, but the Flash animation style pops with colour, the music is fun, and off-the-scale creature cuteness abounds.
  16. Thunder and the House of Magic
    Lawrence’s mechanised menagerie and the directors’ stereoscopic smarts entertain most.
  17. Human Capital
    Shame that the plotting favours narrative intrigue over character depth, creating a film whose message is witnessed rather than felt.
  18. Spider-Man: No Way Home
    Though delightful in places, the third entry in Sony’s third Spider-Man cycle feels both overstocked and underwhelming.
  19. Our Little Sister
    Filled with cherry-blossom gorgeousness and sentimental homages to small-town Japanese life, it's a film of quiet, telling moments, even when big revelations surface.

    The Last Exorcism Part II
    Ashley Bell’s nuanced performance and a surprisingly pyrotechnic finale liven up a gloomy sequel. Title’s still nonsense, mind.
  21. Lee
    Exploring how a one-time surrealist art muse fought to report atrocities, this handsome but rather conventional biopic showcases a tip-top Winslet performance, but at times meanders like a weighty Wikipedia entry.
  22. The Boogeyman
    Solid casting and scares mix with thin plotting and middling monster moves in Savage’s King riff.
  23. Hors Satan (Outside Satan)
    The vagueness won't win Dumont new fans, but his enigmatic allegory of intertwined good and evil does linger in the mind.
  24. U Want Me 2 Kill Him?
    Massively unlikely, but compelling to the last, it makes a decent fist of conveying the strength of internet attachments, even if filtering the unfolding drama through endless computer screens becomes a well-worn device.
  25. Maniac
    The scuzz-chic visuals, sleaze-synth score and deep-cutting gore are effective, and shooting from the killer’s POV proves a valid USP. But Wood, despite giving his all, cannot match Joe Spinell’s unhinged turn in the original: nightmares in a damaged brain indeed.
  26. The House with a Clock in Its Walls
    An engaging new direction for Eli Roth, who offsets the odd tonal hiccup with plenty of ghoulish delights.
  27. Honeymoon
    The thematic weight drags down the tension, yet just when it seems Janiak has forgotten the scares she pulls off a creepy finale.
  28. Wish
    Ravishingly pretty but low-powered, this cute and earnest fairy tale has a whole lot of homage, but not enough heart.
  29. Magic Magic
    It ebbs away at the climax, but there’s 45 minutes where it sings loud and strange.

    Postman Pat: The Movie
    Without much in the way of nudge-wink Pixar-style humour and pathos, mums and dads are less likely to be quite so enthralled.
