Was the Summer of Awesome as awesome as we had hoped? Check out our scorecard for the movies released this past season. They're ranked by our critics' review ratings, from the worst to the best. Chime in on the Comments with your picks for the best and worst movies of Summer 2012.
Review score: 3/10. Simply put, it’s not scary at all. It’s a horror movie that does nothing original and doesn’t even manage to scare you in the process. If you enjoy laughing at bad movies with friends, then sure, have a good time watching it. -- @GreggKatzman
Review score: 4/10. Where the original gave us genuine horror in addition to the slapstick, the sequel infuses so much meta that it's damn near intolerable. Every character is so shallow and so stupid that it's hard to feel anything for them other than irritation. It's almost like you're not even watching a sequel but a Wayans Brothers parody. -- @Max_Nicholson
Review score: 4.5/10. The political lampooning here is witless and dull, serving up the same trite jabs you've seen on SNL for decades. The writing milks the leads' stupidity for all its worth, and then keeps going long after its dead. At a certain point, the film just stops being funny and starts getting preachy. -- @Max_Nicholson
Review score: 5/10. We were pleasantly surprised when this film turned out to not be terrible, but rather mediocre. It’s a hit or miss comedy where the misses win, percentage-wise. But it certainly has more life to it and actual humor than most of Adam Sandler’s recent output. -- @EricIGN
Review score: 5/10. Despite Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s valiant efforts, this bike messenger thriller rarely comes to life and overstays its welcome. Ultimately, you’ll feel more satisfied by an actual 90 minute bicycle ride. -- @EricIGN
