| No Score Yet | T.J. Miller: Meticulously Ridiculous (2017) |
Miller has enough personality to compete with the mega comedy stars. Even at his most absurd, Miller's a character who can carry even some of his worst burp jokes.‐ Esquire Magazine

| 79% | Halloween (2018) |
Picking up where Halloween 1978 left off, we get more of a sense of the life-long trauma that Laurie suffered after those murders 40 years ago.‐ Esquire Magazine

| 89% | Hereditary (2018) |
Hereditary never lets the viewer feel comfortable. The film is full of tiny details that will haunt your waking life long after the end credits roll.‐ Esquire Magazine

| 87% | Blade Runner 2049 (2017) |
In its first try, Blade Runner 2049 is the movie [Ridley] Scott wanted and audiences have deserved for more than three decades.‐ Esquire Magazine

| 92% | Thor: Ragnarok (2017) |
While the previous Avengers movies have felt they were engineered in the same corporate manufacturing plant... Thor: Ragnarok has a more personal touch -- as if it were purchased from a very expensive Etsy store.‐ Esquire Magazine

| 84% | Avengers: Infinity War (2018) |
What's impressive, as I said, is the Russo Brothers' ability to balance a dozen separate plots that connect to 18 different movies. But what's disappointing is that, even in two and a half hours, the movie never delves into any sort of real substance. ‐ Esquire Magazine

| 20% | The Cloverfield Paradox (2018) |
It's bizarre, mostly confusing, and often uneventful.‐ Esquire Magazine

| 95% | A Quiet Place (2018) |
This movie will rattle you. It'll stick with you. It'll hopefully have a sequel, because it's refreshing enough to be the next great cult horror franchise.‐ Esquire Magazine

|
| 29% | Venom (2018) |
Venom is bad, often boring, and feels like sort of bizarre mix between DC's dark grittiness and Marvel's light, comedy-adjacent style. It's also kind of neither of these things.‐ Esquire Magazine

| 70% | Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) |
Where the prequels were trying too hard, Solo isn't trying hard enough, if at all.‐ Esquire Magazine

| 83% | Deadpool 2 (2018) |
At its high points, Deadpool 2 is the greatest modern satire of a highly lucrative and bloated film genre. And even at its lowest, it's the best comedy of the year so far.‐ Esquire Magazine

| 72% | Ready Player One (2018) |
It's a premise that could have been so much more, but instead it's a narrative that's more of a generic video game plot within a generic video game plot within a relatively basic movie‐ Esquire Magazine

| 97% | Black Panther (2018) |
And when it comes to the two leads, [Chadwick] Boseman as Black Panther and [Michael B.] Jordan as Erik Killmonger represent the most complex and fascinating hero-adversary dynamic shown in a superhero film in years.‐ Esquire Magazine

| 100% | Chris Rock: Tamborine (2018) |
It's more of a therapeutic release than anything else, and if you're in the mood to just release it all with a grin, then Tamborine is crucial.‐ Esquire Magazine

| 91% | Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) |
But for the most part, [Rian] Johnson pulls it off with a unique take on all of those key Star Wars staples, which he fills with humor and childlike imagination-creating so many moments when the audience erupted in cheers.‐ Esquire Magazine

| 40% | Justice League (2017) |
Those exuberant fans up front at my screening were the supportive fans for whom I have respect and sympathy. DC and Warner Bros. are letting them down. ‐ Esquire Magazine

Baywatch knows exactly what it is and what it's selling.‐ Esquire Magazine

| 83% | Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) |
Even though Vol. 2 didn't live up to its predecessor, the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise is still good.‐ Esquire Magazine

| 94% | Arrival (2016) |
Much of the film sees the camera focusing on Adams' face as her character studies and examines the aliens and their language. The beautiful subtleties of her performance depict what she's seeing and thinking, often without her using any words at all.‐ Esquire Magazine
