    This PG-13 scare-fest is more psychological terror than blood and guts, and should satisfy-not repulse-young genre fans.
    • Metascore: 37
    • Pete Hammond 50
    The result is an odd, very personal film that the pop star-turned-director has made with tender loving care, but the results of the final final film are mixed.
    • Metascore: 32
    • Pete Hammond 40
    Essentially a B-movie dressed up with A-level special effects, Legion looks spiffy but sounds bad with a lot of overwritten dialogue scenes and predictable action.
    • Metascore: 42
    • Pete Hammond 40
    If so inclined for a breezy, violent time-waster audiences could do worse. Travolta sadly can do so much better.
    • Metascore: 32
    • Pete Hammond 40
    An amusing turn from Steve Buscemi in the title role and some sporadically funny, off-beat dialogue provided by debuting writer/director Hue Rhodes make for a passable, if forgettable, little time passer.
    • Metascore: 51
    • Pete Hammond 40
    Offers very little new for those who saw the original.
    • Metascore: 36
    • Pete Hammond 40
    Strictly for 6 year olds, this uninspired, one-joke comedy is full of too many misfired gags and weak comic setups to cross over to anyone whose head reaches above the seat back.
    • Metascore: 35
    • Pete Hammond 40
    The basic feeling you get out of this version is ‘been there-done that.’
    • Metascore: 50
    • Pete Hammond 40
    Don McKay just never seems to be able to blend its noir elements into a story that makes us care one way or the other.
    • Metascore: 37
    • Pete Hammond 40
    Too introverted and gimmicky for its own good.
    • Metascore: 36
    • Pete Hammond 40
    This Arthur feels flat and lifeless, especially when compared to its highly successful predecessor.
    • Metascore: 39
    • Pete Hammond 40
    The film, released in both 2D and 3D, delivers lots of freshly minted CGI'd action (eventually) but none of it grabs you. There's just something too synthetic about the whole enterprise - it's fantasy tipped over into fakery.
    • Metascore: 30
    • Pete Hammond 40
    Almost totally devoid of charm and genuine laughs despite the presence of star Kevin James and a wonderful veteran voice cast for the creatures.
    • Metascore: 22
    • Pete Hammond 40
    Even with a big name cast that includes three Oscar winners - Halle Berry, Robert De Niro and Hilary Swank - New Year's Eve is at best a pleasant diversion.
    • Metascore: 59
    • Pete Hammond 40
    Sadly, the documentary just doesn't have enough coherent passages to make anything about this now seemingly ancient journey compelling for contemporary audiences.
    • Metascore: 39
    • Pete Hammond 40
    The emotions are flat, predictable and forced when they ought to be romantic.
    • Metascore: 31
    • Pete Hammond 30
    Letters to God is far too simplistic and pandering to find success outside of the targeted church-going family moviegoers it’s hoping to reach.
    • Metascore: 33
    • Pete Hammond 30
    Tackling his own original screenplay, Zack Snyder keeps his reputation for outlandish visuals intact but strikes out as a storyteller.
    • Metascore: 41
    • Pete Hammond 30
    Its endless parade of explosions, battles and general mayhem makes Michael Bay seem like Ingmar Bergman in comparison with Battleship director Peter Berg.
    • Metascore: 22
    • Pete Hammond 20
    This is the kind of movie where the audience of extras orgasmically react after every song as if they were at a Bruce Springsteen concert instead of watching a bunch of kids who wouldn't make the cut in a junior high production of "Bye Bye Birdie."
    • Metascore: 31
    • Pete Hammond 10
    So thuddingly awful you won't crack a smile.
