24. RED DAWN (2012) – 14%
Critics Consensus: The rebooted Red Dawn lacks the original’s topicality, but at least pays tribute in delivering the same short shrift to character development and general logic.
Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Josh Peck, Adrianne Palicki, Josh Hutcherson
Directed By: Dan Bradley
23. THE HUNTSMAN: WINTER’S WAR (2016) – 19%
Critics Consensus: The Huntsman: Winter’s War is visually arresting and boasts a stellar cast, but neither are enough to recommend this entirely unnecessary sequel.
Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, Emily Blunt, Jessica Chastain
Directed By: Cedric Nicolas-Troyan

Amiable yet forgettable, MiB International grinds its stars’ substantial chemistry through the gears of a franchise running low on reasons to continue.
Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson, Emma Thompson
Directed by: F. Gary Gray
21. VACATION (2015) – 27%
Critics Consensus: Borrowing a basic storyline from the film that inspired it but forgetting the charm, wit, and heart, Vacation is yet another nostalgia-driven retread that misses the mark.

Directed By: Jonathan M. Goldstein, John Francis Daley
20. BLACKHAT (2015) – 33%
Critics Consensus: Thematically timely but dramatically inert, Blackhat strands Chris Hemsworth in a muddled misfire from director Michael Mann.

19. IN THE HEART OF THE SEA (2015) – 43%
Critics Consensus: The admirably old-fashioned In the Heart of the Sea boasts thoughtful storytelling to match its visual panache, even if it can’t claim the depth or epic sweep to which it so clearly aspires.
Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Benjamin Walker, Cillian Murphy, Ben Whishaw
Directed By: Ron Howard
18. SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN (2012) – 49%

Starring: Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, Sam Claflin
Directed By: Rupert Sanders
17. 12 STRONG (2018) – 50%
Critics Consensus: 12 Strong has a solid cast, honorable intentions, and a thrilling, fact-based story – all of which are occasionally enough to balance a disappointing lack of depth or nuance.
Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Michael Shannon, Michael Peña, Navid Negahban
Directed By: Nicolai Fuglsig
16. A PERFECT GETAWAY (2009) – 63%
Critics Consensus: While smarter than the average slasher film, A Perfect Getaway eventually devolves into a standard, predictable, excessively violent thriller.
Starring: Steve Zahn, Timothy Olyphant, Milla Jovovich, Kiele Sanchez
Directed By: David Twohy
15. JAY and BOB SILENT REBOOT (2019) – 66%
Fan-focused to a fault, Jay & Silent Bob Reboot tries to mock the same audience nostalgia it’s mining — and pulls it off often enough to satisfy the faithful.

Directed by: Kevin Smith
14. THOR: THE DARK WORLD (2013) – 66%
Critics Consensus: It may not be the finest film to come from the Marvel Universe, but Thor: The Dark World still offers plenty of the humor and high-stakes action that fans have come to expect.

Directed by: Sam Hargrave
12. GHOSTBUSTERS (2016) – 74%

Directed By: Paul Feig

7. AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR (2018) – 85%
