10. Independence Day: Resurgence tips the scales.
With aliens set to blast Earthlings to smithereens, one character actually says, “Someone call a medical team!” Parts of this are so stupid that it’s almost endearing.

9. Suicide Squad:
David Ayer’s DC Comics adaptation can probably be forgiven for lots of things, like its desperate attempts to be grimly funny, or its nonsensical sliced-and-diced editing. But giving Margot Robbie, as Harley Quinn, nothing to do but wink and prance around like an idiot? Criminal. And not the good kind.

8. Mother’s Day:
This was the year we lost Garry Marshall, a director who knew how to delight audiences (with pictures like Pretty Woman and Runaway Bride ), so let’s not remember him
for this final clunker. If you saw the picture, you may have a murky memory of Jennifer Aniston gratefully accepting life advice from a clown. Think you dreamed it? Sadly, no.

7. Café Society:
Woody Allen puts Jesse Eisenberg at the center of this stiff, stagey, not-so-vaguely sexist tale set in ‘30s Hollywood, as an awkward, supposedly nice guy who’s done wrong by a fickle woman, played by Kristen Stewart. Stewart is by far the best thing in this otherwise dismal picture. Fast-forward through everything else.

6. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice:
Everyone knows that DC Comics, as opposed to those of Marvel, are really dark. I mean, really, really dark. So Batman and Superman kicking each other’s asses? Dark, man. None of that flying-around-in-capes kid stuff. Oh, wait—well, these were really dark capes.

5. Now You See Me 2:
Here’s a magic trick: make a magician movie
that’s perfectly harmless and which more
people turn out to see than expected. Revive
it for a sequel no one asked for. Voila!
You’ve just made half your domestic box
office take disappear. For a movie about
magic, Now You See Me 2 contains precious
little of the kind that compels a viewer to
keep watching for the grand reveal. Alas,
thanks to both movies’ overwhelming
popularity in China, work on Now You See
Me 3 is already well underway.

4. Zoolander 2:
Looking back, Zoolander (2001) seems
strangely prescient, with its harbingers of
the duck face and selfie culture, despite its
predating both the iPhone and the rise of
social media by several years. But this
attempt to resituate it, even in an age for
which it seems tailor-made—Justin Bieber
cameo and all—falls flat. Where the first
movie was beloved for the lovable stupidity
of Ben Stiller’s and Owen Wilson’s blissfully
vain male models as they gradually shed
their ignorance, the second fails because it
offers up stupidity without a beating heart to
redeem it.

3. Dirty Grandpa:
There’s nothing inherently wrong with
raunchy comedy (see: Animal House,
Superbad ), but not even a thousand golden
dildos could redeem the kind of raunch that
relies lazily on homophobia and casual
racism. The old-man-on-spring-break jaunt
is even more disappointing considering the
talent it wastes: Robert de Niro as the
septuagenarian in question and Zac Efron,
who has proved his comedic chops in
worthier fare. A modicum of character
development or a comedic perspective
beyond “masturbation is hilarious” might
have made it at least worth a Friday night
stream, but Dirty Grandpa has neither.

2. Brothers Grimsby:
Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest, which eschews
political correctness at least as much as his
previous outings, might be an interesting
starting point for a conversation on the
merits and drawbacks of language-policing,
following a presidential election that felt like
a resounding disapproval of P.C. culture.
Unfortunately, as a movie, it doesn’t
challenge viewers anywhere near as adeptly
as a movie like Borat did, instead asking us
to be content with R-rated elephant gags for
the sake of R-rated elephant gags—good for
a chuckle, but not the kind of belly laugh
that gets its rumble from truth.

1. X-Men Apocalypse:
This film’s true crime was wasting some of
the most sought-after talent in Hollywood.
Why cast Oscar Isaac only to hide him inside
the shell of a giant blue turtle? Michael
Fassbender only to force him to try to add
emotional heft to the most cliché scenes?
Poor Jennifer Lawrence can practically be
seen counting down the minutes until she
can flee to the set of a David O. Russell film.
