Alfred covers for him while Nightwing and Robin patrol Gotham City in his stead. And a new player, Batwoman, investigates Batman's disappearance.7/10
Featuring a decent storyline, this ends up being one of the better entries into the DCAU. - DirectorWoo-Ping YuenStarsDonnie YenMichelle YeohHarry Shum Jr.A story of lost love, young love, a legendary sword and one last opportunity at redemption.3/10
Having no real connection to the original and lacking the martial arts it brags of having, this ends up being a complete misfire. - DirectorStephen HopkinsStarsStephan JamesJason SudeikisEli GoreeJesse Owens' quest to become the greatest track and field athlete in history thrusts him onto the world stage of the 1936 Olympics, where he faces off against Adolf Hitler's vision of Aryan supremacy.6/10
Trying to tell two different stories, using Owens as a bridge between the two, this succeeds at being a good biopic, if still a little choppy. - DirectorEthan CoenJoel CoenStarsJosh BrolinGeorge ClooneyAlden EhrenreichA Hollywood fixer in the 1950s works to keep the studio's stars in line.3/10
Throwing a slew of random happenings together and calling it a mystery leads this into being a mess. - DirectorDexter FletcherStarsTaron EgertonHugh JackmanTom CostelloThe story of Eddie Edwards, the notoriously tenacious British underdog ski jumper who charmed the world at the 1988 Winter Olympics.6/10

Superman´s existence is meanwhile dividing the world and he is framed for murder during an international crisis. The heroes clash and force the neutral Wonder Woman to reemerge.4/10
Despite a strong performance by Affleck, there's too much goofy action, overacting, and absurd plot points for this to be a anything more than a bloated mess. - DirectorJason ZadaStarsNatalie DormerEoin MackenStephanie VogtA young woman's desperate search for her twin sister brings her to a ghost-filled stretch of wilderness known as the 'Suicide Forest.'5/10
In a rare case of having more answers than questions, the potential is squandered on a script that needs more development. - DirectorSam LiuStarsRosario DawsonChristopher GorhamShemar MooreRobin is sent to work with the Teen Titans after his volatile behavior botches a Justice League mission. The Titans must then face Trigon after he possesses the League and threatens to conquer the world.5/10
Having too many plot points rushed into a limited runtime, half of the story should have been saved for the eventual sequel. - DirectorRichard LinklaterStarsBlake JennerTyler HoechlinRyan GuzmanIn 1980 Texas, a college freshman meets his new baseball teammates, an unruly group of disco-dancing, skirt-chasing, and they navigate their way6/10
Spiritually and thematically a sequel to Linklater's cult classic Dazed and Confused, like it, there's a good bit of humor but raises the question of "what was the point?". - DirectorJon FavreauStarsNeel SethiBill MurrayBen KingsleyAfter a threat from the tiger Shere Khan forces him to flee the jungle, a man-cub named Mowgli embarks on a journey of self discovery with the help of panther Bagheera and free-spirited bear Baloo.4/10
By trying to both remake and reboot the 1967 original, as well as readapting the book, this mess fails to be its own adaptation. - DirectorDan TrachtenbergStarsJohn GoodmanMary Elizabeth WinsteadJohn Gallagher Jr.A young woman is held in an underground bunker by a man who insists that a hostile event has left the surface of the Earth uninhabitable.6/10
Playing out the small confines of a bunker, this claustrophobic thriller ends in a slightly less rewarding ending than its predecessor. - DirectorMichael DoughertyStarsAdam ScottToni ColletteDavid KoechnerA boy who has a bad Christmas accidentally summons a festive demon to his family home.5/10
Lacking the holiday lore and the horror-comedy aspect of Dougherty's previous Trick 'r Treat, Krampus features a slew of annoying characters in stupid situations. - DirectorPeter AtencioStarsKeegan-Michael KeyJordan PeeleTiffany HaddishWhen the adorable kitten of an L.A. crime kingpin unexpectedly enters the life of two cousins, they will have to go through tough gangs, pitiless hit-men, and ruthless drug dealers who all claim him, to get him back. How hard can it be?7/10
Approaching different racial stereotypes with the same tongue in cheek humor of their sketch show, Key and Peele create a comedy that is effective, if occasionally tiresome. - DirectorAnthony RussoJoe RussoStarsChris EvansRobert Downey Jr.Scarlett JohanssonPolitical involvement in the Avengers' affairs causes a rift between Captain America and Iron Man.8/10
Despite being more in line with an Avengers installment, Civil War succeeds in creating viable reasons for dismay through the ranks and setting the stage for great battle sequences. - DirectorRobert EggersStarsAnya Taylor-JoyRalph InesonKate DickieA family in 1630s New England is torn apart by the forces of witchcraft, black magic and possession.6/10
Taking a look at the cultural and spiritual beliefs of a Puritan family, this horror tale sets an eerie mood rare in most other modern tales. - DirectorAlejandro AmenábarStarsEthan HawkeDavid ThewlisEmma WatsonA detective and a psychoanalyst uncover evidence of a satanic cult while investigating a young woman's terrifying past.4/10
Featuring a lackluster story that pretends to be based on true events, writer/director Amenabar fails to craft a compelling story and relies too much on an ending that fails to deliver. - DirectorDan MazerStarsRobert De NiroZac EfronZoey DeutchRight before his wedding, an uptight corporate lawyer is tricked into driving his grandfather, a lecherous former Army Lieutenant Colonel, to Florida for Spring Break.6/10
A good chemistry between Effron and DeNiro helps carry this otherwise predictable comedy. - DirectorNicholas StollerStarsSeth RogenRose ByrneZac EfronWhen their new next-door neighbors turn out to be a sorority even more debaucherous than the fraternity that lived there before, Mac and Kelly team with their former enemy, Teddy, to bring the girls down.5/10
Using the subject of feminism as the basis for fights, this follow up to the humorous original fails to have the same rivalry as the first. - DirectorShane BlackStarsRussell CroweRyan GoslingAngourie RiceIn 1970s Los Angeles, a mismatched pair of private eyes investigate a missing girl and the mysterious death of a porn star.6/10
More confusing with a less than stellar script than writer/director Black typically delivers, this succeeds with Gosling and Crowe working off each other. - DirectorByron HowardRich MooreJared BushStarsGinnifer GoodwinJason BatemanIdris ElbaIn a city of anthropomorphic animals, a rookie bunny cop and a cynical con artist fox must work together to uncover a conspiracy.7/10
Tackling social stereotypes with animal humor makes this animated tale appeal to both a younger and older audience. - DirectorJodie FosterStarsGeorge ClooneyJulia RobertsJack O'ConnellFinancial TV host Lee Gates and his producer Patty are put in an extreme situation when an irate investor takes them and their crew as hostage.7/10
Looking into the financial crisis from the parallel views of a man on top and a man on the bottom, this may not be the most thought provoking, but works as a thriller. - DirectorJeremy SaulnierStarsAnton YelchinImogen PootsAlia ShawkatA punk rock band is forced to fight for survival after witnessing a murder at a neo-Nazi skinhead bar.7/10
Despite a truly disappointing ending, this slight horror movie is made most haunting by Stewart's chilling performance. - DirectorMike FlanaganStarsJohn Gallagher Jr.Kate SiegelMichael TruccoA deaf and mute writer who retreated into the woods to live a solitary life must fight for her life in silence when a masked killer appears at her window.5/10
Taking a unique concept, the cards are shown too quickly, missing an opportunity that felt ripe near the beginning. - DirectorBryan SingerStarsJames McAvoyMichael FassbenderJennifer LawrenceIn the 1980s, the X-Men must defeat an ancient all-powerful mutant, En Sabah Nur, who intends to thrive by bringing destruction to the world.4/10
Singer delivers the laziest written, most underdeveloped installment of the X-Men franchise with weak villains and a boring story.
