Less clever and more kid-targeted than its predecessors, but still funny.

Sharper and smarter than its T&A-obsessed brethren, because it (mostly) treats its characters like people. Cruise gives a star-making performance, and De Mornay is a stellar femme fatale. The only reason I’m not rating this higher is because I can’t decide if the ending lets Joel off the hook, or if it proves he’s been corrupted.

A transcendent comic book movie that's boiling over with rage and bitterness. It both ties a bow on and undoes all the previous X-Men and Wolverine movies in a way that finally gives this undying series some closure. Hugh Jackman has never been better.

Consistently hilarious, with the right mix of morbid and mawkish. Everyone gets their chance to shine, and the movie excels at all different types of humor. Still can’t believe we’ve gotten three solid studio comedies already this year.
