Rotten Tomatoes Freshness: 24%

Critic Consensus: “Warcraft has visual thrills to spare, but they — and director Duncan Jones’ distinctive gifts — are wasted on a sluggish and derivative adaptation of a bestselling game with little evident cinematic value”

Critic Consensus: “Now You See Me 2 packs in even more twists and turns than its predecessor, but in the end, it has even less hiding up its sleeve”

The Conjuring 2
