THE 10 WORST

JUST DON'T

-

1. THE HAPPYTIME MURDERS

An all-time low in mirthless farce as Melissa McCarthy and Henson family puppets trade dick jokes while audiences are condemned to movie hell.

2. GOTTI

A zero-percent satisfacti­on rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes seems too kind a response to John Travolta’s career-crushing gangster epic.

3. LIFE ITSELF

Can a movie be all bad? This pretentiou­s soap from This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman proves that, yes, it really can.

4. JURASSIC WORLD:

FALLEN KINGDOM

A shameless cash grab that proves even CGI dinosaurs can be abused. Enough, already.

5. MAMMA MIA!

HERE WE GO AGAIN

No diss on Cher (we love her!), but even Meryl Streep had the sense to barely show up in this sequel from ABBA’s B side.

6. THE MEG

Usually I’d be all in to watch a giant shark take on Jason Statham. But The Meg is not dumb enough to be any fun.

7. RED SPARROW

What’s happening to Jennifer Lawrence? Mega-bad choices. Playing a Bolshoi ballerinat­urned-unlikely-spy spelled disaster. Save her, somebody.

8. THE NUN

Rinsing and recycling scare tactics from The Conjuring does not a horror classic make, though sitting through it does constitute a form of torture.

9. FIFTY SHADES FREED

For the third and last time, Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan whip each other into the least-erotic frenzy ever.

10. VENOM

To those who claim a movie can’t suck if it’s big box office, I submit this PG-13 desecratio­n of a nightmare-dark Marvel antihero, one that wastes the talents of the great Tom Hardy.
