MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Sexual Content, Nudity, Drugs)
Genre: Comedy
Director: Gene Stupnitsky

Lawrence and Feldman play well off one another, but the movie needs more than that chemistry to be an unqualified success.

MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence)
Genre: Action/Science Fiction
Director: Andy Muschietti
Cast: Ezra Miller, Michael Keaton, Ben Affleck, Sasha Calle, Michael Shannon, Ron Livingston
The best things – or at least the most memorable ones – are rooted in fan service and nostalgia. The movie, although too long by about 45 minutes, is enjoyable on that level.

Genre: Comedy/Drama
Director: Laura Terruso
Cast: Sebastian Maniscalco, Robert De Niro, Leslie Bibb, Kim Cattrall, David Rasche, Anders Holm, Brett Dier
This is sit-com level material and, as such, there is not much new or interesting that Robert De Niro can bring to the proceedings.

Suffers from problems that have dogged the latest round of comic book movies: a too-long running time, not enough genuine excitement, a generic villain, and a weak ending.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Profanity)
Genre: Horror
Director: Lee Cronin
Cast: Lily Sullivan, Alyssa Sutherland, Gabrielle Echols, Morgan Davies, Nell Fisher
Although always gruesome and sometimes darkly humorous, it is never especially scary. This is yet another victory for nostalgia over originality.

Genre: Thriller

Genre: Animated
Director: Aaron Horvath, Michael Jelenic

Director: Chad Stahelski
Cast: Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane, Bill Skarsgard, Donnie Yen, Marko Zaror, Hiroyuki Sanda, Shamier Anderson, Laurence Fishburne, Clancy Brown, Lance Reddick
Has its high points but is characterized by an exhaustive repetitiveness that diminishes what was so good and unique about the first two installments of the series.
