TEN TURKEYS

-

Me Before You ( 12)

This uneven weepy can’t decide on what type of film it wants to be and left me feeling cold.

The Boss ( 15)

A throwaway and inconsiste­nt comedy that fails to make the most of Melissa McCarthy’s talent.

Jane Got a Gun ( 15)

A troubled production led to an uneven tone and a sluggish slog through the Old West .

The Shallows ( 15)

This shark thriller botches an intriguing premise with a dumb script full of unlikely occurrence­s.

Turtles Out of the Shadows ( 12)

Continuing to ruin my childhood, this mess of a sequel was even worse than its predecesso­r.

The Forest ( 15)

Lazy clichés and familiar scares abound in a supernatur­al thriller that ends with a whimper.

Cell ( 15)

Having read the book, this Stephen King adaptation was a huge letdown, with a dire climax.

Ben- Hur ( 12)

Lacking the original’s scope and grandeur, this redundant remake is criminally slow and dull.

Angry Birds ( U)

A thin plot with jokes that fall flat. This take on the popular video game should’ve stayed grounded.

Gods of Egypt ( 12)

A tacky, headache- inducing ‘ epic’ with lame attempts at dram a, selfish heroes and dodgy CGI.
