Casanova (2015) 7.7/10 EDIT “The plot itself is filled with political intrigue and various power plays within the court, which makes Casanova feel like more than just a guilty pleasure.” – IGN Movies Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Long Way North (2015) 98% 9/10 EDIT “If you're looking for something a little different but still accessible and sweet, look no further than Long Way North.” – IGN Movies Sep 30, 2016 Full Review Finding Dory (2016) 94% 8.5/10 EDIT “Did Finding Nemo really need a sequel? Probably not. But Finding Dory deftly manages to breathe new life into Pixar's most popular fish, while also introducing a school of lively new newcomers as well.” – IGN Movies Jun 16, 2016 Full Review The Conjuring 2 (2016) 80% 8.5/10 EDIT “While the haunted house storyline may feel routine, The Conjuring 2 is bolstered by striking camerawork, strong performances and a gleefully unsettling mood.” – IGN Movies Jun 10, 2016 Full Review Now You See Me 2 (2016) 34% 6.2/10 EDIT “Now You See Me 2 is a "turn your brain off" movie in that giving it a second thought would ruin the magic.” – IGN Movies Jun 10, 2016 Full Review Alice Through the Looking Glass (2016) 29% 5.5/10 EDIT “Ready or not, here comes the sequel, the result of which is a flashier, more vibrant adventure -- albeit with the same muddy storytelling and two-dimensional characters.” – IGN Movies May 18, 2016 Full Review The Angry Birds Movie (2016) 44% 7.6/10 EDIT “A lighthearted and entertaining romp.” – IGN Movies May 9, 2016 Full Review A Hologram for the King (2016) 70% 7.8/10 EDIT “While neither the humor nor the drama is particularly hard-hitting, the combination of Hanks in his element and the surprisingly vibrant desert landscape of Morocco is strong enough to at least consider checking out the movie.” – IGN Movies Apr 22, 2016 Full Review Hardcore Henry (2015) 51% 8.6/10 EDIT “Two parts FPS, one part platformer and a pinch of HowToBasic, director Ilya Naishuller's Hardcore Henry is a recipe for non-stop, ludicrous fun.” – IGN Movies Mar 15, 2016 Full Review The Wave (2015) 83% 8/10 EDIT “The Wave delivers a unique take on the natural disaster genre.” – IGN Movies Mar 4, 2016 Full Review London Has Fallen (2016) 28% 6.8/10 EDIT “London Has Fallen may not be better than Olympus Has Fallen, but it certainly is bigger, and it will probably satisfy most action junkies, if not in a theater then in the comfort of their own home.” – IGN Movies Mar 3, 2016 Full Review Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016) 87% 8.5/10 EDIT “Features the same heart, humor and action of the first two films.” – IGN Movies Jan 28, 2016 Full Review The 5th Wave (2016) 17% 4.8/10 EDIT “A muddy, sappy and laughless dystopian melodrama that bares more of a resemblance to Twilight than Hunger Games.” – IGN Movies Jan 28, 2016 Full Review Moonwalkers (2015) 42% 8.5/10 EDIT “Has all the makings of a cult classic.” – IGN Movies Jan 21, 2016 Full Review Ride Along 2 (2016) 15% 5 EDIT “Ride Along 2 lacks emotion, runs long and doesn't precipitate enough laughs.” – IGN Movies Jan 14, 2016 Full Review Daddy's Home (2015) 30% 5/10 EDIT “It just feels like the writers are waiting for Ferrell and Wahlberg to spin straw into gold -- which sometimes they do, but not nearly enough to make the movie good.” – IGN Movies Dec 23, 2015 Full Review Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip (2015) 18% 4/10 EDIT “It's conventional, nonsensical, pandering and crammed with potty humor. If there was ever any charm to this franchise, it's long gone by now.” – IGN Movies Dec 17, 2015 Full Review Krampus (2015) 67% 8.3/10 EDIT “Krampus is sure to satisfy horror and comedy fans alike. Consider it another good Christmas movie staple to add to your collection.” – IGN Movies Dec 3, 2015 Full Review Concussion (2015) 58% 7.6/10 EDIT “Despite its sometimes mechanical approach, Concussion is anchored by Will Smith's star performance and the matter at hand.” – IGN Movies Dec 2, 2015 Full Review Burnt (2015) 29% 6.3/10 EDIT “Cooper does a great job in the role of a cocky American chef, and his character's emotional arc is pretty engaging. However, the rest of the story and characters aren't given nearly as much attention.” – IGN Movies Oct 29, 2015 Full Review Our Brand Is Crisis (2015) 36% 6.5/10 EDIT “Our Brand is Crisis may be director David Gordon Green's most sterile picture yet, but it's redeemed somewhat by Sandra Bullock's lead performance, as well as a talented ensemble cast.” – IGN Movies Oct 29, 2015 Full Review Suffragette (2015) 73% 8.5/10 EDIT “Suffragette successfully captures the hardship and bravery of the British women's suffrage movement, while also showcasing a wonderful performance from Carey Mulligan.” – IGN Movies Oct 22, 2015 Full Review The Last Witch Hunter (2015) 17% 5/10 EDIT “The Last Witch Hunter delivers a lackluster fantasy plot and bland, one-note characters.” – IGN Movies Oct 21, 2015 Full Review Tales of Halloween (2015) 77% 7/10 EDIT “As with most anthology films, some shorts are stronger than others, but there are definitely a few standouts.” – IGN Movies Oct 15, 2015 Full Review Beasts of No Nation (2015) 91% 8.4/10 EDIT “Beasts of No Nation isn't the type of movie you "enjoy," but it is extremely effective in depicting one boy's harrowing journey into the heart of war.” – IGN Movies Oct 15, 2015 Full Review
