18. “Warcraft”

Metacritic score: 32/100

What a critic said: “This is truly a depressing experience.

10. “Man Down”

Metacritic score: 26/100

What a critic said: “‘Man Down’ is a bad film, but it’s made even worse by the taste it will leave in your mouth regarding its silly handling of a very serious issue.” — RogerEbert.com
