Movie Scores: How the critics rated the new movies

It's always one of the bleakest times of the year at the movies: the last weekend of summer, when people would rather be outside enjoying one last blast of fun than inside a cool, dark multiplex. So the pickings are slim — and the reviews reflect that accordingly.

Only one of the week's major releases was shown to critics before opening day: the thriller "The Debt," starring Helen Mirren, Tom Wilkinson and Jessica Chastain. AP Movie Critic Christy Lemire called it "classy, solid and well-acted" in her three-star review.

Critics didn't get to see the week's other wide releases — the horror film "Shark Night 3D" and the sci-fi mystery "Apollo 18" — beforehand, but both were getting savaged early.

In limited release is the comedy "A Good Old Fashioned Orgy," starring Jason Sudeikis, Lake Bell and Nick Kroll. AP Entertainment Writer Jake Coyle gave it two stars out of four, saying: "It's a party of a movie, for better or worse, with ambitions of generational resonance."

Here's a look at how these movies and others fared on the top review websites as of Friday afternoon. Each score is the percentage of positive reviews for the film:

— "The Debt": Metacritic, 66; Movie Review Intelligence, 65.7; Rotten Tomatoes, 77. Average: 69.6.

— "Shark Night 3D": Metacritic, 26; Movie Review Intelligence, 27.2; Rotten Tomatoes, 33. Average: 28.7.

— "Apollo 18": Metacritic, 23; Movie Review Intelligence, 32.2; Rotten Tomatoes, 31. Average: 28.7.

— "A Good Old Fashioned Orgy": Metacritic, 44; Movie Review Intelligence, 50.6; Rotten Tomatoes, 29. Average: 41.2.

The 12 Best Movies and TV Shows to Watch This Weekend

Are you ready for it? No, not for Taylor Swift, for M. Night Shyamalan. This week, the master of twists turns the frenzy of a pop star’s concert into a captivating new thriller. And there are more serial killers afoot: in Netflix’s latest teen crime drama and another season of its rebooted Unsolved Mysteries . Elsewhere on streaming, a new Batman animated series also battles corruption, and Matt Damon and Casey Affleck try to pull off heists in an Apple TV+ movie. I thought there was more to this weekend than murder and crime solving, but after looking at the list again, damn, maybe that’s the theme. —Savannah Salazar

Featured Presentations

Imagine being trapped at the Eras tour. Maybe some of y’all would like that, but in M. Night Shyamalan’s Trap , a serial killer (Josh Harnett) and his unknowing daughter are surrounded in a sting operation during a Lady Raven concert (a Taylor Swift equivalent played by Shyamalan’s daughter, Saleka Shyamalan). —S.S.

. A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder

You may remember Emma Meyers from Wednesday , but now she’s leading her own series, as a student with an investigative streak named Pip Fitz-Amobi. Five years after the murder of a teen and the conviction of that teen’s boyfriend, Pip has a feeling the real murderer is still out there. Maybe this is Nancy Drew for Gen Z. —S.S.

. Batman: Caped Crusader 

From Matty Reeves’s The Batman film to HBO’s upcoming spinoff series The Penguin , pop culture will never let Gotham go. HBO Max canceled a Reeves project about Batman, the animated Caped Crusader , in 2022, and its loss is Prime Video’s gain. Batman: Caped Crusader is an entertaining spin on an old formula that reimagines versions of classic villains in an old-timey corruption story. —Roxana Hadadi

. Carmen Christopher: Live From the Windy City

Maybe you recognize Carmen Christopher from The Bear or from his pandemic-era Street Special . Maybe you’ve somehow wandered over onto the streaming platform Veeps and thought, What is this? Christopher’s new special is a solid watch for anyone who just wants a well-built special with a nontoxic dudes-rock vibe. —Kathryn VanArendonk

. Unsolved Mysteries season 4

I’m such a sucker for these creepy crime stories. Even though afterward I need, at least, three Sex and the City episodes to wash the taste of Unsolved Mysteries away. Netflix is premiering four episodes, with five more to come. For a bingeable show like this, that’s quite annoying, but oh well. —S.S.

The One-Sentence Review

The Instigators

By Alison Willmore

“It’s a role that plays into Casey Affleck’s defeated aura and wiseass edge — Cobby is basically doing color commentary on his own life, as though he isn’t an active participant in his own bad decisions.”

➼ Streaming on Apple TV+ ; read our full review .

Kids Corner

Saving bikini bottom: the sandy cheeks movie.

In this new film from the perpetual IP machine that is the SpongeBob franchise, we learn a little bit more about Sandy Cheeks, meet her family, and watch her fly. If you have little ones, it’s probably already in the watch queue. —Eric Vilas-Boas

➼ Our other kids-movie recommendation? Maybe skip Harold and the Purple Crayon .

Finally Streaming

Kingdom of the planet of the apes.

What a wonderful day … to watch the latest Planet of the Apes film on streaming if you missed it at the theater or on VOD. —E.V.B.

➼ Want another creature feature? Well, after Godzilla Minus One landed on Netflix, the steamer is introducing Minus Color for your rewatch needs.

A Master’s Works

Philip seymour hoffman on the criterion channel.

I really didn’t need Twisters to remind me of this fact, but it did anyway: I miss Phillip Seymour Hoffman. What a talent. Thankfully, the Criterion Channel is honoring him with a collection of his films, from The Master and Capote to Synecdoche, New York and Jack Goes Boating — plenty to dive into after your Twister / Twisters double feature. —S.S.

Grand Finale

House of the dragon season 2.

The penultimate episode of House of the Dragon was its own little Jurassic Park plot about taming a dragon, so where do we go from here? Well, if you avoided the criminal leaks , you’ll have to wait until Sunday to see. —S.S.

Prime Video top 10 movies — here’s the 3 worth watching right now

Here are the Prime Video movies you won’t want to miss

• Best of Prime Video top 10
• Full Prime Video top 10

Looking for something new to watch on Prime Video? The service’s ever-changing top 10 most-watched movies is a great starting point. However, a movie scoring a strong ranking on the list isn't a reliable guarantee of quality. I’ve seen plenty of highly skippable flicks score a spot in the past. 

That’s why I’m combing through the current Prime Video top 10 movies to pick out the films most worthy of your time. Though fair warning, Amazon Prime Video is dominated by Tom Cruise at the moment with "Top Gun" and "Mission: Impossible" delighting subscribers. So, if you’re not a fan of the A-lister's particular brand of blockbuster action spectacle, you might need to look elsewhere (but don’t worry, I’ve included a couple of non-Cruise options below too). 

This article is based on the Prime Video top 10 movies list as of 1 p.m. ET on Wednesday, July 31, and with all that housekeeping out of the way, let’s dive into my top three selections…

Best movies in the Prime Video top 10

“mission: impossible - dead reckoning” (2023).

The “Mission: Impossible” series is a rare enigma in Hollywood. It’s a franchise that is only getting better with age. Rather than trot out tired sequels that merely rehash what came before, “Mission: Impossible” keeps raising the stakes and the fruitful partnership of director Christopher McQuarrie and star Tom Cruise shines ever bright in “Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning”, the latest installment in the almost 30-year-old series that is still going strong. 

Initially, billed as “Dead Reckoning Part One", the studio has since shaved off that last bit in recent promotional material. This isn’t an unsatisfying spy romp that feels like merely a longwinded setup for the second part due in 2025. Instead, "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning” feels like a complete movie while teasing intriguing breadcrumbs for the sequel to come next year. The thrilling popcorn action movie sees superspy Ethan Hunt (Cruise) return alongside his ever-dependable IMF team to square off against their most dangerous foe, a rogue AI called the Entity.  

Watch "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning" on Prime Video now

“Bob Marley: One Love” (2024)

I’m far from a scholar of Bob Marley’s music, but despite this, I still have a deep appreciation and respect for the imprint he left on not just the reggae scene, but the entire music landscape. His towering legacy still casts an inspirational shadow to this day, and “Bob Marley: One Love” celebrates the Jamaican singer-songwriter by showcasing his resilience in the face of adversity, and the challenges he faced while leading a musical revolution.

Kingsley Ben-Adir is tasked with the job of bringing this larger-than-life character to the screen, and the British actor does a phenomenal job (even his accent is spot on). While the narrative structure is fairly standard for the biographical genre, the listenability of Marley’s music gives the movie a captivating energy, and it’s hard to get bored when your toe is tapping throughout. “Bob Marley: One Love” will delight already committed fans, and probably convert plenty of newcomers, too.

Watch "Bob Marley: One Love" on Prime Video now 

“Lisa Frankenstein” (2024) 

The horror-comedy genre tends to be fairly divisive, and “Lisa Frankenstein” is no exception. The directional debut of Zelda Williams (daughter of the late great Robin Williams), this corpse-centered caper scored a lukewarm 52% with critics on Rotten Tomatoes , but viewers were much more enthusiastic about the zany love story between a rebellious teenager and a Victorian-era corpse scoring it a solid 81%. 

As you may have guessed from this title, “Lisa Frankenstein” is a modern twist on the classic Mary Shelley tale, and sees an angsty teen named Lisa Swallows (Kathyrn Newton) embark on a farcical adventure full of murder, love and body parts with a being known as The Creature (Cole Sprouse). It’s about as ridiculous as it sounds, and certainly won’t be everybody's cup of tea. It’s also set in the same universe as writer Diablo Cody’s “Jennifer Body”, a fun fact that has little bearing on the movie itself but hints at a future crossover.

The 9 Biggest Movies To Watch This Fall (And Other Films That Sound Intriguing)

Bob Mondello

Daniel Craig's final crack at 007 was among the first films to delay opening because of the pandemic. He will play across Ana de Armas in No Time To Die. Nicola Dove/Danjaq, LLC and MGM hide caption

Daniel Craig's final crack at 007 was among the first films to delay opening because of the pandemic. He will play across Ana de Armas in No Time To Die.

After stockpiling films for more than 16 months, Hollywood is practically bursting with prestige attractions ready to premiere.

Summer popcorn pictures primed the pump, getting roughly 90% of North American cinemas open. Now, with much of the public vaccinated — especially older audiences who tend to patronize the sort of films that open in the fall — the flow is finally getting back to something approaching normal.

Coronavirus Updates

Sorry, tom cruise fans — new 'top gun' and 'mission impossible' movies delayed again.

Yes, things are still in flux, and we'll have to wait a little big longer for some other anticipated movies . But with Hollywood in the enviable position of having kept its biggest guns holstered, autumn looks to be flush with potential awards contenders ( Dear Evan Hansen , House of Gucci ), intriguing indies ( Passing , Language Lessons ), and obvious crowd-pleasers ( No Time To Die ) that would normally have been busting blocks midsummer.

With the caveat that some of these release dates could still change, here's some crystal-ball gazing at what looks most promising.

Dear Evan Hansen

Sept. 24 in theaters

The 2015 Tony Award-winning musical arrives in movie theaters a couple of months before it returns to Broadway, and the film version boasts original star Ben Platt reprising his performance as a socially anxious teen tasked by his therapist with writing letters to himself. When one letter goes astray, Hansen gets caught in a web of well-intentioned lies that spiral out of his control.

The Many Saints Of Newark

Oct. 1 in theaters and on HBO Max

A prequel to The Sopranos, with James Gandolfini's son Michael portraying Tony Soprano as a high school student. Alessandro Nivola plays his uncle, Dickie Moltisanti, the father of Christopher Moltisanti (who was played in the TV series by Michael Imperioli). It should attract a veritable mob of Sopranos fans.

The Harder They Fall

Oct. 6 in theaters

Some 25% of cowboys were Black, but there have been few Westerns that have looked remotely like the fiery revenge tale director Jeymes Samuel has cooked up, with Idris Elba, Regina King, Zazie Beetz, Jonathan Majors, Delroy Lindo and LaKeith Stanfield.

No Time To Die

Oct. 8 in theaters

Daniel Craig's final crack at 007 was among the first films to delay opening because of the pandemic. It was originally set to open in April of last year, then April of this year, and now it's finally hit a date that looks like it'll stick. Director Cary Joji Fukunaga ( Beasts of No Nation ) will pit him against Rami Malek's diabolical (just check out the name) Lyutsifer Safin.

The Last Duel

Oct. 15 in theaters

One of two Ridley Scott period pieces this fall to star Adam Driver, this 14th century epic finds Driver accused of raping Matt Damon's wife, leaving the hubby with just one option — a duel to the death. Conceived by Damon and Ben Affleck (who plays a count), and co-written by Nicole Holofcener, the story is the tale of the last royally sanctioned duel in France.

Oct. 22 in theaters and streaming on HBO Max

Timothée Chalamet is king-in-training Paul Atreides in director Denis Villaneuve's take on Frank Herbert's novel (the bestselling in sci-fi history). The spice trade is booming, the planet Arakis is a deathtrap, and the supporting cast includes Zendaya, Jason Momoa, Charlotte Rampling and Javier Bardem. No wonder there's talk of a whole Duniverse to come.

The French Dispatch

Oct. 22 in theaters

Wes Anderson's tribute to old-school journalism, though it's set in a French town among American expat writers, draws its inspiration from the rarefied magazine culture of The New Yorker . Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Timothée Chalamet, Jeffrey Wright, Frances McDormand and Owen Wilson are on hand to aid and abet Anderson's characteristically charming weirdness.

Tick Tick Boom

Nov. 12 in theaters and Nov. 19 on Netflix

The autobiographical musical that Jonathan Larson wrote before he penned Rent is the opus Lin-Manuel Miranda chose for his directing debut. The Hamilton creator has frequently cited Larson as his inspiration. He cast Andrew Garfield as Larson, and Bradley Whitford as Stephen Sondheim (who was Larson's inspiration). Quite the pedigree.

King Richard

Nov. 19 in theaters and on HBO Max

Will Smith is Richard Williams, a tenacious dad who's convinced, despite what everyone keeps telling him, that his daughters are going to be great at tennis. Their names? Venus and Serena.

Breaking’s Olympic Debut

A sport’s journey from the streets of new york all the way to the paris games..

Hosted by Sabrina Tavernise

Featuring Jonathan Abrams

Edited by Lexie Diao MJ Davis Lin and Ben Calhoun

More than 50 years after its inception, “breaking” — not “break dancing,” a term coined by the media and disdained by practitioners — will debut as an Olympic sport.

Jonathan Abrams, who writes about the intersection of sports and culture, explains how breaking’s big moment came about.

On today’s episode

Jonathan Abrams , a Times reporter covering national culture news.

Background reading

The Olympic battles in breaking will be a watershed moment for a dance form conceived and cultivated by Black and Hispanic youth in the Bronx during the 1970s.

Breakers are grappling with hip-hop’s Olympic moment. Will their art translate into sport?

Released- Fri Aug 02, 2024

'Mazhai Pidikatha Manithan' Movie Review: Director Vijay Milton's film, starring Vijay Antony, Daali Dhananjay and Sarathkumar is a tedious watch. The film is a wasted opportunity.

Bad Newz Review: Vicky Kaushal is the only good news here

Bad Newz Movie Review: The Vicky Kaushal film resembles an Instagram filter that loses its sheen after first use. The surface is shimmery and looks glossy, but there is no material to sink your teeth into.

'Twisters' Review: Glen Powell's film is high on thrill, low on emotions

Glen Powell's 'Twisters' offers high-octane thrills but falls short on emotional depth. The film releases in theatres on July 19.

'Indian 2' Review: Kamal Haasan's film is an emotionless social commentary

Released- Fri Jul 12, 2024

'Indian 2' Review: Director Shankar's sequel to the 1996 hit film is an uninteresting commentary on worldly issues that are addressed in countless other films. Underneath the mess lies a promising idea, which is barely explored.
