“What could have been a tidy little horror/thriller struggles for air with a surplus of exposition and explanation. Usually the best way to scare is to withhold.” –

“This identity-switcheroo adventure mixes romance and swashbuckling, but probably should've had David Niven in the lead role instead of as the side piece.” –

“Dizzying and kooky, this 'Die Hard on a plane' knockoff nonetheless features whizbang action, puckish charm via Josh Hartnett and a let's-just-have-fun comedic spirit.” –

“Anna Kendrick has screen charm to spare, and Blake Lively wears the hell out of a shirtless suit. But the convolutions of the plot are too much in this sequel with plenty of style and little spark.” –

“A pop music version of the Bard's most famous play may not be the film you were pining for. But despite variations from Shakespeare's text, it's a bright, breezy rendition teens might actually enjoy.” –

“It ain't reviving the MCU from its doldrums all on its. But this offbeat take on the superhero genre at least points a viable direction for a new iteration, one where castoffs and antiheroes rule.” –

“For the sequel starring Ben Affleck as an assassin on the spectrum, the filmmakers went the buffet route of 'let's put in a little bit of everything,' leaving the ledger with a dearth of assets.” –
