  1. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
    Frankly, if you’re buying a ticket purely for the behemoth battles then you’ll get your money’s worth: take your pick from a trippy rumpus that defies gravity, a Copacabana beach-off, some Planet of the Apes-esque monkey business, and a literal dust-up at the Egyptian pyramids.
  2. Jumanji: The Next Level
    Some of the vibrancy has worn off but this Rock-solid sequel has enough giggles and gasps to attract herds of viewers.

    Pitch Perfect
    Gleeks and Glee-haters alike should rally around this raucous musical comedy. Rebel Wilson is hilarious, Anna Kendrick is terrific and there are as many gross-out gags as there are singing numbers.
  4. Instant Family
    It’s no Parenthood. It’s tonally messy. But Instant Family’s made with excellent intentions and chunks of it work.

    Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
    For the most part a surprisingly fun, bloody take on Jane Austen’s classic – but it does turn stale as the final reckoning approaches.

    X-Men Origins: Wolverine
    Origins is an accomplished slice of comic-book entertainment, full of fights and action set-pieces impressive for a director touching big budget for the first time.
  7. A Fantastic Fear of Everything
    Fear falls short of fantastic yet it’s a decent effort that, like Pegg’s beard, proves to be something of a grower.
  8. Bushwick
    Dave Bautista’s street-level action flick is galaxies away from Marvel gloss, but the Guardians scene-stealer lends physicality to this gutsy, Carpenter-esque B-movie.
    • 65 Metascore

    Samsara
    Jaw-dropping in colour and splendour, but if the constant awe gets a bit tiring, at its best you can genuinely feel some great wheel turning.
  10. The Cursed
    Well executed if not entirely original – with werewolves, what is? – Eight For Silver is an assured, engaging chiller.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Man with the Iron Fists
    Grisly and goofy, this ode to the Shaw Brothers' '70s-era kung fu epics serves up 96 minutes of murder and mutilation and not a lot else. Sweet soundtrack, though.
  12. Return
    Reversing his "Take Shelter" role, Michael Shannon convinces as her grounded husband and "Mad Men's" John Slattery offers good support as a fellow vet. But this is Cardellini's film, and she dominates with a terrific, tough-minded turn.
  13. Rough Night
    The farcical third act, wrapped up too neatly by director Lucia Aniello, softens the blows. More edges needed.
  14. Killing Them Softly
    Tough, stylish, violent and studded with stars – but like so many of its American gangsters, Killing Them Softly doesn't quite get the job done.
    • 59 Metascore

    Celeste and Jesse Forever
    This honest, if not funny, comedy is all about Celeste. If anyone can make you sympathise with affluent LA yuppies, Rashida Jones can.

    Lee Daniels' The Butler
    It may skip so quickly through historic events that it can feel rushed and flimsy, but excellent performances elevate it to serious Oscar contender.

    Himizu
    It offers a surreal slant on post-Fukushima Japan where aggression lurks in every scene - even the romantic ones between high-schooler Yuichi (Shôta Sometani) and his stalker classmate, Keiko (Fumi Nikaidô).
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Mimosas
    An intriguing tale of faith under pressure emerges, but it’s too slow and simple to truly convince.
  19. [REC] 3: Genesis
    Taking a weird swerve into rom-zom-com, the third [REC] shaky-horror ends up pulled apart by its own genre mutations.
  20. Escape Plan
    A highly enjoyable slice of in-one-eye, out-the-other nonsense. It may coast on the charisma of its leads at times, and it’s hardly deep, but there’s a Friday night to be had.
  21. Pandora's Promise
    The director paints a partisan picture, but offers an eloquent and effective challenge to orthodox eco-wisdom.
    • 51 Metascore

    Mademoiselle C
    Mme C. is Carine Roitfeld, ex-editor of Vogue Paris and former stylist. She’s a maternal presence – her own son calls her a MILF. Which makes for fantastic access, if minimal drama.
  23. End of Watch
    Forceful and arresting, Ayer's follow-up to "Harsh Times" and "Street Kings" sees him confidently playing to his strengths.
  24. Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami
    Despite the candid vérité stylings, art-dance powerhouse Grace Jones remains a magnetic enigma in Sophie Fiennes’ docu-study.
  25. Crawl
    Aja brings an exciting if less- than-watertight script to life with a minimum of fuss, plenty of flair and just a few eye-rolls.
  26. Up for Love
    The film flirts with near-offensive gags and attitudes, but there’s inventive use of forced perspective, even if the focus should be more on Diane changing hers.
  27. Bill & Ted Face the Music
    A last, cheering hurrah from two dudes.
  28. Greyhound
    A solid if unexceptional sea movie whose brevity is welcome after the stodgy likes of "Midway." Hanks keeps the propellers churning.
  29. Ocean's 8
    Simply doesn't have the original's magic.
  30. David Lynch: The Art Life
    An intriguing insight into Lynch’s genius, intimately crafted and leaving you wanting more.
