Review |
| Avengers: Age of Ultron | 2015 | 83 | 1 | - An improvement over the first one. 'Age of Ultron' stays much truer to the comics. |
| Lord of the Rings: Return of the King | 2003 | 81 | 2 | - Epic in nearly every way...including runtime. |
| Lord of the Rings: Two Towers | 2002 | 80 | 3 | - Some say this is the weakest of the trilogy, I say it's markedly better than the first. |
| Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring | 2001 | 77 | 4 | - The visuals in Peter Jackson's first installment of this epic are breathtaking, but the film could've shed 30-60 minutes and been just as good or better. |
| Nightmare Before Christmas | 1993 | 76 | 5 | - A cute little movie, to be sure. |
| Sleepy Hollow | 1999 | 72 | 6 | - The frustrating thing here is that Tim Burton can't help but to put his own little twist on a classic story. Everything feels a little less scary "Burton-ized". |
| Goosebumps | 2015 | 70 | 7 | - Capturing the nostalgia some of us have for the 'Goosebumps' books buys it some good will but it's not enough to overlook the fact much of the films shtick is sorely overplayed. |
| Krampus | 2015 | 70 | 7 | - A horror/comedy that also tries to tug on the heart strings can only work so well. |
| Maleficent | 2014 | 70 | 7 | - As long as Disney is rewriting it's own tales, how about changing the whole Mufasa getting trampled to death and scarring every child for life thing? |
| Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice | 2016 | 68 | 10 | - It doesn't even stand up on its own let alone in the shadow of Christopher Nolan's magnificent trilogy. |
| The Witch | 2015 | 65 | 11 | - Humanity's capacity for paranoia is the real villain here. |
| Man of Steel | 2013 | 58 | 12 | - How a duo of geeky gurus like Christopher Nolan and Zack Snyder managed to make such a disappointment has to be one of the biggest surprises of the year in movies. |
| Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, The (2013) | 2013 | 53 | 13 | - Just another sad reminder of just how much better the originally trilogy is. |
| Pan's Labyrinth | 2006 | 50 | 14 | - The problem with fantasy films is there's a very, very fine line between the movie having real contextual value and just being whimsical cow excrement. 'Pan's Labyrinth', as much as I hate to say it, leans toward the latter. |
| Underworld: Awakening | 2012 | 48 | 15 | - The best part of this movie was the soundtrack. Skip the film and listen to that. |
| Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter | 2012 | 47 | 16 | - The really out there premise is no longer an excuse for a movie failing to deliver. We've seen it work. It certainly doesn't here. |
| Thor: The Dark World | 2013 | 45 | 17 | - It'd almost be better if it were a parody rather than an honest attempt at a sequel. |
