  Pan Sparkles but Fails to Fly This particular attempt to bring Peter Pan to the screen is plagued by a weak script and delivers little more than a diverting romp for children and an interesting, manic performance by Hugh Jackman. Debbie Holloway Dec 22, 2015

  Best Mission Yet is One You Should Choose to Accept It's so nice when a series gets better instead of worse. This installment is funny, fast-paced, clever, packed with amazing stunts and heart-pounding moments. Susan Ellingburg Dec 15, 2015

  He Named Me Malala Features the Progressive Muslim Voice the West Has Been Looking For Plays less like a documentary and more like a cinematic memoir of a young woman who represents so many girls who are trapped, suppressed, and abused by radical Islamists. Jeffrey Huston Dec 15, 2015
• Too Many Dystopian Clichés Extinguish The Scorch Trials Normally, an element of surprise is a real asset in storytelling, but this sequel clutters a script that already wasn't making much sense in the first place. Christa Banister Dec 15, 2015
• Fantastic Four Written by a Not-So-Fantastic Three The film is surprisingly dull, achingly slow for a 100-minute run time, and suffers from conspicuous lack of humor. Pretty much the opposite of what you think when you hear "Marvel superhero summer movie." Susan Ellingburg Dec 15, 2015
• Minions a Gru-Some Addition to Despicable Me Series Lackluster sequels aren't unusual—they're the rule, not the exception—but because Minions is aimed at a younger audience, the dissatisfaction feels all the more... despicable. Christian Hamaker Dec 08, 2015
• Ant-Man is Jam-Packed with Small Pleasures Every once in a while, a movie actually winds up being far more than you were expecting. A light, consistently-funny tone and a winsome protagonist win the day here. Christa Banister Dec 08, 2015
• The Transporter Refueled is Fast, Fun, and Even Features a Few Lessons The fashion is couture, the locations are exclusive, even the wine is expensive. This entry could keep the Transporter franchise driving for some time to come. Susan Ellingburg Dec 08, 2015
• For a Movie about Heaven, 90 Minutes is Surprisingly Earthbound Lacks the production values of Heaven is for Real, but follows its source material more closely. But a plodding pace and a surprising shortage of heaven itself leave much to be desired. Christa Banister Dec 01, 2015
• Shepherd Your Flock and Go See Shaun the Sheep Counting these sheep is simple, sweetly entertaining, and far from sleep-inducing. Christian Hamaker Nov 24, 2015
• Too Many Familiar Notes Mean Too Much Ricki, Not Enough Flash If not for Streep, this flash-in-the-pan might have gone straight to Video on Demand. Christa Banister Nov 24, 2015
• No Escape Delivers a Surprising Amount of Heart No Escape is almost entirely a thriller, a film to keep you on the edge of your seat, wondering whether your heroes can survive the next obstacle. Debbie Holloway Nov 24, 2015
