#57

Transformers: The Last Knight (2017)

16%

#56

All Eyez on Me (2017)

17%

Critics Consensus: Despite Demetrius Shipp Jr.'s fine lead performance, All Eyez on Me is mostly a surface-skimming, by-the-numbers biopic of a larger-than-life icon.

Synopsis: The true and untold story of prolific rapper, actor, poet and activist Tupac Shakur (Demetrius Shipp Jr.), from his early days in New York to... View Full Synopsis

#54

The Mummy (2017)

15%

Starring: Tom Cruise, Russell Crowe, Annabelle Wallis, Sofia Boutella

Directed By: Alex Kurtzman

#53

The House (2017)

20%

Starring: Will Ferrell, Amy Poehler, Jason Mantzoukas, Ryan Simpkins

Directed By: Andrew Jay Cohen

#52

Wish Upon (2017)

20%

Critics Consensus: Wish Upon is neither scary nor original, but its fundamental flaws as a horror movie may make it destination viewing for after-midnight camp genre enthusiasts.

Synopsis: Jonathan Shannon (Ryan Phillippe) gives his 17-year-old daughter Clare (Joey King) an old music box that promises to grant its owner seven wishes. Skeptical at... View Full Synopsis

#51

Baywatch (2017)

18%

Critics Consensus: Baywatch takes its source material's jiggle factor to R-rated levels, but lacks the original's campy charm -- and leaves its charming stars flailing in the shallows.

#50

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul (2017)

19%

#48

The Book of Henry (2017)

21%

Critics Consensus: The Book of Henry deserves a few points for ambition, but its tonal juggling act -- and a deeply maudlin twist -- may leave viewers gaping in disbelief rather than choking back tears.

Starring: Naomi Watts, Jaeden Martell, Jacob Tremblay, Sarah Silverman

Directed By: Colin Trevorrow

#47

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

31%

Critics Consensus: King Arthur: Legend of the Sword piles mounds of modern action flash on an age-old tale -- and wipes out much of what made it a classic story in the first place.

Starring: Charlie Hunnam, Astrid Bergès-Frisbey, Jude Law, Djimon Hounsou

Directed By: Guy Ritchie

#46

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017)

30%

Critics Consensus: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales proves that neither a change in directors nor an undead Javier Bardem is enough to drain this sinking franchise's murky bilge.

Synopsis: Thrust into an all-new adventure, a down-on-his-luck Capt. Jack Sparrow feels the winds of ill-fortune blowing even more strongly when deadly ghost sailors led by... View Full Synopsis

Starring: Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Javier Bardem, Brenton Thwaites

#45

Snatched (2017)

36%

Critics Consensus: Snatched has a pair of terrifically talented stars, but their presence isn't enough to compensate for this rote comedy's threadbare plot and scattershot laughs.

Synopsis: Dumped by her boyfriend on the eve of their vacation, impetuous dreamer Emily Middleton persuades her cautious mother, Linda, to accompany her on an exotic... View Full Synopsis

Starring: Amy Schumer, Goldie Hawn, Wanda Sykes, Joan Cusack

Directed By: Jonathan Levine

#44

Kidnap (2017)

35%

Critics Consensus: Kidnap strays into poorly scripted exploitation too often to take advantage of its pulpy premise -- or the still-impressive talents of its committed star.

Synopsis: A typical afternoon in the park turns into a nightmare for single mother Karla Dyson when kidnappers snatch her young son Frankie. With no cellphone... View Full Synopsis

Starring: Halle Berry, Sage Correa, Chris McGinn, Lew Temple
