Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
It doesn't always work, but Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot's superhero sequel attempts to rebuke the last 20 years' worth of masculine-coded blockbuster filmmaking.

Happiest Season (2020)
A desire to provide underrepresented demographics with their fairy tale rom-com happy ending ignores whether the core couple even belongs together.

Hillbilly Elegy (2020)
When your big dissection of American poverty is less insightful and less intellectually honest than the Dukes of Hazzard movie and Joker, that's a problem.

Freaky (2020)
Freaky is a genre homage so explicitly faithful to its predecessors that it picks up on some of their flaws as well as their strengths.

The Croods: A New Age (2020)
Another example of a DreamWorks Animation sequel that improves upon its immediate predeccessor.

Let Him Go (2020)
Anchored by terrific star turns from Diane Lane and Kevin Costner, the intense and complex 'Let Him Go' is a very good cinematic thriller.

The Witches (2020)
Anne Hathaway is great fun, but this re-adaptation plays like a redundant remake of the 1990 version.

Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm (2020)
A surprisingly on-point spoof of the "legacy sequel" that also operates, in its skewed way, as a "darker, grittier" follow-up.

2 Hearts (2020)

Honest Thief (2020)
The latest Liam Neeson actioner is smaller-scale and more grounded than his recent thrillers, but it also offers plenty of character and plot amid the genre tropes.

The Kid Detective (2020)
Adam Brody shines in this pleasantly dark dramedy that doesn't play its high concept for cheap laughs.

Mulan (2020)
It's well-made and worth seeing, but it's so afraid of offending or being accused of being disrespectful that it never cuts loose and comes off as patronizing.

The New Mutants (2020)
It's the worst X-Men movie ever, akin to watching a terrible TV pilot for a series that you already know didn't get picked up.

Unhinged (2020)
If you loved 'Duel,' 'The Hitcher' and 'Joyride,' you'll at least tolerate 'Unhinged'.

The King of Staten Island (2020)
It's Judd Apatow on autopilot, but he's still in his element and the core ingredients still make for a satisfying stew.

Da 5 Bloods (2020)
Spike Lee's dynamite adventure drama is one of Netflix's very best original feature films.

You Should Have Left (2020)

Irresistible (2020)
Jon Stewart's misguided and unfunny political comedy is everything we don't need right now.

Greyhound (2020)
An immersive and enjoyable U-boat thriller with a fine lead turn (and 100% fat-free screenplay) courtesy of its top-billed star.

Scoob! (2020)
'Scoob!'s fate as a VOD title is ironic considering it is no better or worse than many of the 33 previous direct-to-DVD/VOD 'Scooby-Doo' animated movies.

Extraction (2020)
Netflix's new blockbuster Extraction is a stellar action film that channels the best aspects of properties from John Wick to Call of Duty.

Extraction (2020)
'Extraction' features truly superb action sequences, and it's one of the few attempts by Netflix to mimic an old-school Hollywood blockbuster that feels like the genuine article.

Trolls World Tour (2020)
DreamWorks' latest superior sequel is a psychedelic (and politically topical) musical fantasy that probably would have played great on a big screen.

Bloodshot (2020)
A relic of an era, from around 1995 to 2005, when we expected comic book superhero movies to be relatively lousy but watched them anyway because they were somewhat unique.

The Hunt (2020)
It's a gruesome action comedy with terrific performances from Betty Gilpin and Hilary Swank. All the huffing-and-puffing aside, 'The Hunt' is just a movie, and that's okay.

The Banker (2020)
'The Banker' structures an important historical story like a crime/heist caper while offering an acting showcase for Anthony Mackie and Samuel L. Jackson.

Onward (2020)
A thoughtful and nuanced look at grief and mourning that reminds us that Pixar hasn't lost much of its magic despite its recent reliance on (often very good) sequels.

Condor and Centineo manage to coast on their oodles of charm and chemistry, and they carry a film that isn't quite worthy of them.
