  1. Sonic the Hedgehog
    It’s an enjoyable movie-night combination of lightning quips, genuine friendship and observational humor paced with Sonic’s “gotta go fast” attitude. Score one for video game fans!
  2. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore
    Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore gently levitates rather than soars, hums quietly under its breath when it should sing, and mildly entertains and amuses when it should have fans gripping the edge of their seats as thing hurtle to a breakneck climax.
  3. Secret Headquarters
    Secret Headquarters is aimed squarely at young adults, takes a leaf from the 'Spy Kids' franchise, and is never less than engaging when affectionately leaning into genre cliches without trying too hard.
  4. Railroad Tigers
    Railroad Tigers is an action epic that wants to be a comedic goofball, as it fumbles both aspects when trying to meld them together.
  5. A Cure for Wellness
    In its braggadocios final form, genre fans have a unicorn watch that surely won’t be replicated anytime soon. Points for creativity, points for ambition, and points for a studio showing the balls to back provocative genre cinema.
  6. Jack Reacher: Never Go Back
    Tom Cruise is as muscly and bland as heroes come, restrained by the burden of two dead-weight companion pawns. Jack Reacher is a man who thrives on working alone, and this dull tale of backstabbing militant leeches proves that fact tenfold.
  7. The Dressmaker
    Despite Winslet's stunning cowgirl fashionista, The Dressmaker is a whole lot of weirdness packed into a story that stumbles around like an emotionally-inept drunk.

    Lisa Frankenstein
    A discordant Frankenstein's monster of a film in its own right, 'Lisa Frankenstein' certainly acts like it's interested in doing something, but it doesn't seem to have the first clue on what that something is.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Halloween Ends
    The latest and (allegedly) last chapter in the Michael Meyers saga, manages to find an ending while having some shaggy and unhinged fun along the way. It might not entirely work, but 'Halloween Ends' takes you on one last wild ride and goes into some pretty unexpected places.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Salem's Lot
    The breathtaking visuals and bloody scares are not enough to bring this adaptation back from the dead.
  11. The Hitman's Bodyguard
    As the word “m#th&rf$ck*r” loses meaning, you can’t help but appreciate a wholly predictable – yet unapologetically confident – action goof that’s far funnier than it should be.
  12. Pandemic
    Pandemic certainly won't spark a nationwide outbreak, but it's a sleek enough take on infection thrillers that's worth one good late-night watch.
  13. Bird Box Barcelona
    Bird Box Barcelona expands the mythology in several new and fascinating directions, but it also makes the mistake of posing several bigger questions that it doesn't seem to want to answer.
  14. Masterminds
    If you’re laughing at all throughout Masterminds, it’s probably because of Jason Sudeikis.
  15. The Ardennes
    The Ardennes may be saturated in dark blues and snow-covered blankness, but it burns with bright fury as Robin Pront inches closer to his film’s inevitable breaking point.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
    It may be over-the-top blockbuster fare first and foremost, but Adam Wingard's love letter to monster movies is far more intelligently crafted than anyone could have predicted.
  17. Alice
    In many ways, Alice feels like a film looking to inform as well as entertain, by exploring the evolution of Black identity with unflinching honesty.
  18. Kate
    Winstead is nothing short of fantastic in terms of both her physical and performative presence, but she could have really used a meatier journey to sink her teeth into.
  19. Shazam! Fury of the Gods
    Shazam! Fury of the Gods is a substantial step down from its predecessor, hardly ideal when the future of the entire franchise likely depends on it.
  20. Medieval
    Medieval works best when it throws dirt, mud, blood, and body parts at the screen, with the crunching battle scenes just about overcoming the narrative shortcomings.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    The Broken Tower
    The Broken Tower is a wonderful labour of passion and love for this incredible artist and his broken life and it could not have been a more perfect way to encapsulate the incredibly obscure and fantastic artist that is Hart Crane.
  22. My Spy
    A feel good movie should make you feel...well, good. And My Spy's arsenal of laughs, smiles and carefree action connects with a sniper's precision.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The Super Mario Bros. Movie
    Nintendo knows what's great about the 'Super Mario Bros.' games, and perfectly brings them to life on the big screen.
  24. You Should Have Left
    You Should Have Left is a perfect example of how "forgettable" horror cinema is somehow more tedious than something that goes out in a blaze of failed ambition.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
    We might as well let AI make the soulless nostalgia fare at this point; you'd get roughly the same result as 'Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,' and that $100 million budget could have been spent on movies worth spending it on.
  26. The Nun
    Scares are often on the generic side (pitch-black doorway, hand reaches out), and while some wild effects work enjoys the zanier side of Hell’s mouth opening up to spit venom across Earth’s surface, it’s missing the masterfully torturous tone that Wan’s universe otherwise aims for.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Damsel
    There are sporadic sparks of magic in 'Damsel', especially when it's navigating its better-fitting element of action fantasy rather than fairytale.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Shotgun Wedding
    If you’re looking for a glossy, breezy time, 'Shotgun Wedding' will be right up your alley. If you’re looking for chemistry, substantive humor, and meaningful filmmaking - look somewhere else.
  29. The Whole Truth
    Keanu Reeves effectively anchors The Whole Truth, but a capable cast can only do so much to keep the lingering mystery afloat before logic weighs it down.
  30. Capone
    Tom Hardy does it all as Capone: growling, drooling, snot, yelling, snotty yelling. If his performance was in service of a better picture, we might even be talking about him during Oscar season.
  31. Nerdland
    Much like its central characters, Nerdland is a dismal, unfunny failure, wasting all its potential and entirely unaware that it is every bit as stupid as the stupid people it so despises.
  32. Attack of the Lederhosen Zombies
    Attack Of The Lederhosen Zombies doesn't quite live up to its eye-catching name, but still offers enough undead snowboarding mayhem worth a horror laugh.
  33. The Meg
    The Meg delivers the Statham-versus-giant-shark battle moviegoers are promised, but does so in a way that still manages to be underwhelming.
  34. Joker: Folie à Deux
    In Joker: Folie à Deux, director Todd Phillips's attempt to blend courtroom drama with musical elements results in a disjointed and sluggish narrative that fails to capitalize on its potential.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Project X
    Although Project X has its faults (we’ll get there in a second), the atmosphere of the party couldn’t be more perfect.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Irish Wish
    As it smiles and waves to the rest of the genre like a good little rom-com, you may catch a hint of a gleam in its eye and wonder, very briefly; is that who Irish Wish really is? Or did director Janeen Damian and screenwriter Kirsten Hansen just pull off one of the most maliciously untheatrical, galaxy-brain plays of the year?
  37. IF
    While 'IF's colorful creatures and set pieces might offer a temporary distraction, the weak script and superficial world building crumbles into dust at any sign of scrutiny.
  38. Wolves
    Buoyed by a strong cast, Wolves is a predictable yet powerful film that uses its multitude of sports movie and coming-of-age cliches to the best possible effect.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The Watchers
    The excitement with which one can anticipate Ishana's next directorial effort, is matched only by the dread of anticipating her next screenwriting effort.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    They/Them
    They/Them offers an interesting vision of what greater, specific LGBTQIA+ representation and storytelling can bring to a slasher, even if it doesn’t land perfectly.
  41. Come and Find Me
    Come And Find Me is a fine-and-dandy missing persons thriller with a romantic twist, suitable for those whose Aaron Paul senses tingle upon reading the film’s synopsis. First-time features are anything but safe bets, so a cheers is in order for Whedon’s accomplishment – no matter how small.
  42. Samaritan
    Samaritan had the potential to stand out among a crowded pack with Sylvester Stallone as a veteran superhero drawn out of retirement, but it doesn't bring anything new or noteworthy to the table.
  43. The Tomorrow War
    The Tomorrow War isn't as good as it could have been, but it's an entertaining enough sci-fi action blockbuster.
  44. The Son
    This supremely talented ensemble cast are unable to save 'The Son' from being an overly emotive disappointment.
  45. Uncharted
    Uncharted aims for old school adventure with a modern sheen, but the end result is the latest in a long line of immediately forgettable video game adaptations.
  46. Justice League
    Justice League is a sloppy team-up film that doesn't even take time to properly introduce pivotal members of its titular team, but when you're playing a dangerous (also ill-advised) game of catch up, these are the risks.
  47. The Platform 2
    The Platform 2 does more than follow the first movie recipe, spicing things up with new ethical conundrums and serving a new batch of intriguing puzzle pieces.
  48. Unforgettable
    Unforgettable is a "How Not To" guide for romantic thrillers, passionless and without tension when it comes to the conflict at hand.
  49. Brimstone
    Brimstone is undeniably idiosyncratic, but it’s also an unpleasant, dull and indigestible film.
  50. The Invitation
    The Invitation aims high, and while it's regularly impressive on a visual and aesthetic level, the storytelling lets the Gothic horror down in the end.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Goodnight Mommy
    With gripping performances from the Crovetti brothers to keep us intrigued enough to keep us watching until the end, Goodnight Mommy still manages to unmask some thrills — even if the strength of its source material ties it down.
  52. Snatched
    While Snatched stars big names in Schumer and Hawn, the ones you'll be remembering are Cusack, Meloni and Barinholtz.
  53. A Million Little Pieces
    While its well-founded intentions and creative intuitions are palpable, not even a tortuously acrobatic performance from Aaron Taylor-Johnson saves A Million Little Pieces from consistently sober storytelling.
  54. Sand Castle
    Sand Castle is an Iraq war story about certain futility, but there's a certain redundancy to political overtones that preach what we've been hearing all along.
  55. Angel Has Fallen
    Angel Has Fallen is a galumphing installment to a galumphing action franchise. With a hero who's been beaten to a pulp, the next one could very well be called "Gerard Butler Has Fallen: Natural Causes."
  56. Rampage
    Rampage is noticeably in trouble once it becomes obvious that the giant virtual gorilla is the most human presence onscreen, and that doesn’t take too long.
  57. Cherry
    Tom Holland breaks away from the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a career defining performance. Cherry melds arthouse invention with mainstream genre to give audiences something truly special.
  58. Salt and Fire
    Audiences unfamiliar with Herzog will be largely baffled by this eccentric and meandering eco-drama, but aficionados will find much to enjoy here.
  59. Saban's Power Rangers
    Power Rangers doesn't completely fail as an origin story, but it's too familiar with its new-age reboot mentality that repurposes instead of recreates.
  60. 88
    This complex political thriller from writer/director Eromose falls just short of greatness.
  61. Bushwick
    Murnion and Milott’s Bushwick feels like a John Carpenter film without the societal skewering. A nasty, hate-filled movie with shaky detailing.
  62. Kingsman: The Golden Circle
    Vaughn sticks to what he knows with his Kingsman sequel but rarely ups the ante, making this a fun-enough entry into an already-too-familiar franchise.
  63. The Union
    Netflix's The Union is a formulaic spy thriller that wastes its promising premise. Despite the star power of Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry, the film suffers from a predictable plot, mediocre action sequences, and shallow character development.
  64. City of Lies
    Impassioned, engaging and eloquently constructed, City of Lies has much more to offer than first meets the eye.
  65. Heart of Stone
    Without a shadow of a doubt, it’s very much a costly, star-studded, explosive attempt to build a brand new IP from the ground up that the company can call its own, but it’s impossible to shake the feeling that we’ve walked down this exact road many times before. Make of it what you will, but the end product is exactly what you think it’s going to be, for better or worse.
  66. Brightburn
    Brightburn doesn't ask if you want blood, but you've damn-well got it in this nastily gruesome superhero hack-n-slash that's a nightmare for parents everywhere.
  67. The Belko Experiment
    The Belko Experiment rides a gushing wave of carnage through the elevators of an unsuspecting office building, gleefully making wolves out of sheep.
    • 44 Metascore

    Ricky Stanicky
    You can almost hear the desperate screams of a far funnier, far more profound script in the shallowness of the 'Ricky Stanicky' we got, even if John Cena's efforts to drown them out aren't entirely fruitless.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Next Goal Wins
    There's a lot of heart and good intentions in Next Goal Wins but wonky pacing, a confusing emotional arc for its main character, and a handful of uninspired scenes come close to rendering all that useless.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    100 Streets
    Unfortunately, 100 Streets' parts are greater than the whole, forcing it to crash and burn after an absolutely ludicrous third act.
  71. Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City
    Add on another star, or perhaps even two, if you're a fan of the games, but Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City will struggle to win over those who aren't familiar with the franchise.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Deadly Friend
    The movie also deserves a watch because of the incoherent style. It’s like getting to see two films for one. If you’re in the mood to see a lighthearted movie about childhood and becoming an adult, it’s got you covered. And if you want a gory slasher film with plenty of dark humor, it has you covered there as well.
  73. Mortal Kombat
    Taslim, Sanada, Lawson and the gloriously R-rated fights elevate Mortal Kombat significantly, no doubt, and you can slap on another star if you’re a longtime fan of the series, but newbies will be left largely unimpressed.
  74. Bloodshot
    Bloodshot shoots to kill, but with the accuracy of a Stormtrooper - off the mark and leaving much to be desired.
  75. Aftermath
    Aftermath may not say much, but Arnold Schwarzenegger's reserved performance is a somber turn that keeps drama surprisingly in-tune.
  76. The Princess
    The Princess fully embraces its outlandishness to deliver a cheesy, violent, R-rated fantasy actioner that's destined to ensure as a camp cult favorite.
  77. Army of One
    Army Of One is a waste of talent across the board.
  78. The Almond and the Seahorse
    With some solid turns from Rebel Wilson and Charlotte Gainsbourg, The Almond and the Seahorse explores the idea of living with long term brain trauma.
  79. American Pastoral
    American Pastoral doesn't quite nail its tone, but it's a compelling enough adaptation with a few truly inspired moments.
  80. Choose or Die
    Choose or Die has some important things to say about the decisions we make.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A Family Affair
    A Family Affair is far from revolutionary filmmaking but it is a near-perfect sample of its genre. It’s ballsy and funny without being over the top, and it’s got an unexpected fire burning behind each of its characters.
  82. The Strangers: Chapter 1
    The Strangers: Chapter 1 just feels like an overstretched introduction.
  83. Passage to Mars
    Jeauffre's blending of terrestrial and extraterrestrial imagery is hypnotizing and spectacular, but this story of survival feels too bloodless to appeal to the average viewer.
  84. Blood Red Sky
    Blood Red Sky both is and isn't the movie you think it'll be, but it's perfectly suited for Friday night entertainment.
  85. In Dubious Battle
    Sadly, In Dubious Battle is unlikely to inspire anything other than blank-faced boredom.
  86. Mother/Android
    Mother/Android isn't the sci-fi movie you think it's going to be, or even the movie it probably wants to be, but it's nonetheless a solid first-time feature from from writer/director Mattson Tomlin.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Back to Black
    There's a lot of compassion in 'Back to Black' for its troubled subject, but its best intentions become its worse mistakes when it fails to direct any semblance of a critical look at the multiple tragic events in Amy Winehouse's too-short life.
  88. Dark Phoenix
    Dark Phoenix takes arguably the most heavily thematic X-Men comic arc and delivers the most dully procedural, chopped-to-bits cinematic franchise entry in Fox’s mutant canon.
  89. A Dog's Purpose
    A Dog's Purpose goes the Collateral Beauty route by preying on sadness and not earning its emotional reactions.
  90. Tank 432
    Tank 432 does right in building battlefield tension without any gunfire or attacks, but misses its mark in neatly wrapping up yet another paranoid psychological thriller.
  91. The Circle
    A half-baked thriller with a strong cast and a few good ideas, The Circle lacks originality, immediacy, or basic coherence.
  92. 47 Meters Down: Uncaged
    47 Meters Down is still the alpha of this franchise pack, but Uncaged's stealth "slasher but with sharks" structure is an approved and entertaining surprise.
  93. Scoob!
    Scoob! is an enjoyable-enough start to the Hanna-Barbera cinematic universe, but may leave Mystery Inc. superfans feeling robbed of the Scooby-centric reboot that such a title suggests.
  94. Office Christmas Party
    Office Christmas Party is a naughty Xmas comedy stuffed with enough ho-ho-hos and ha-ha-has to corrupt this holiday season.
  95. My Father Die
    Look into the eyes of My Father Die, and you’ll see honesty. Never once does writer/director Sean Brosnan go out of his way to present “revenge” as a worthwhile venture, as he evokes the beastly nature of such drastic measures.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Unfrosted
    Jerry Seinfeld's directorial debut is a family-friendly, overstuffed, unoriginal comedy film where the weakness of its central plot is masked by myriad celebrity cameos, including 15 different stand-up comics, characters all but doing backflips on screen and a lot of product placement.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts
    What an annoyance to have a Transformers movie with well-drawn humans, only to have them choke on the exhaust fumes of franchise expectations.
  98. The Current War
    Gomez-Rejon’s The Current War is unfortunately neutralized by Mitnick’s artless script.
  99. The Ice Road
    The Ice Road further cements Liam Neeson’s reputation as the only action star in the 60-70 age bracket worth his salt.
  100. Inferno
    Inferno feels every bit like the second sequel in an exhausted franchise, stunted by unfocused storytelling and a blandness that's almost sleep-inducing.
