Can’t decide what to see this weekend?

Bowling Green Daily News film critic Micheal Compton is here to tell you the best – and worst – now playing at your local cineplex.

Black Panther (A)

The Marvel Universe film franchise rises to a new level with “Black Panther,” a beautiful and engaging entry that transcends the comic-book genre in every way.

In the sure hands of writer and director Ryan Coogler – who recently gave the Rocky Balboa series new life with “Creed” – this is a fully realized, stand-alone story with rich characters and a wonderful new world to explore: The fictional Wakanda, a reclusive African nation where technology has advanced far beyond anything the rest of the world can imagine. (Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10)

Blockers (C+)

This comedy is a film full of potential – a talented cast willing to do anything for a laugh, a high-concept premise that can go in plenty of promising directions, and some genuinely laugh-out-loud set pieces.

But for all of its potential, the film falls short of the finish line – unable to balance laughs with sentimental moments that sap out all of the comedic moments the cast worked so hard at achieving. (Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10, Highland Cinemas)

Chappaquiddick (not reviewed at this time)

(Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12)

Death Wish (C-)

A remake of the Charles Bronson 1974 film tones down the violence a bit, but still feels like some weird ad for the NRA with a tone deaf struggle between seriousness and comedy. (Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10)

Game Night (B)

This comedy is consistently funny thanks in large part to a talented cast headlined by Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams. (Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10)

God’s Not Dead: A Light in Darkness (not reviewed at this time)

(Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10, Highland Cinemas)

I Can Only Imagine (C)

The true story of the popular Christian song of the same name suffers from a completely bland lead and a script that plays into cliches way too much. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Highland Cinemas)

Midnight Sun (C)

A completely hokey adaptation of a YA novel about a girl that is allergic to the sun. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Highland Cinemas)

The Miracle Season (not reviewed at this time)

(Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10)

Pacific Rim Uprising (C)

The world where the Transformers meet Godzilla is back in this follow-up to Guillermo del Toro’s mildly amusing bit of escapism released in the summer of 2013.

Without Del Toro behind the camera, replaced by first-time feature film director Steven S. DeKnight, the result is a film that only halfway captures the original’s goofiness before wearing the audience down with a slew of overly choreographed CGI battles in the film’s second half. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 12, Highland Cinemas)

Paul, Apostle of Christ (B)

The makers of “Risen” have created another compelling Christian-themed film about Paul’s final days. The acting is strong. The direction is solid and the story is adapted well. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Highland Cinemas)

A Quiet Place (not reviewed at this time)

(Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10, Highland Cinemas)

Ready Player One (B)

the latest from director Steven Spielberg, is a big ol’ slice of nostalgia pie that is easily consumed.

This visual smorgasbord, full of pop culture references ranging from the Atari 2600 to “Child’s Play,” finds Spielberg channeling his ’80s blockbuster self – a throwback to his previous work “E.T.” and “Jurassic Park” that allows the director to create and explore a vast new world sure to thrill audiences young and old. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Highland Cinemas, Franklin Drive-In)

Sherlock Gnomes (D)

A completely lifeless follow-up to “Gnomeo and Juliet” where all of the best jokes – if you want to call them that – were left in the trailer. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10, Highland Cinemas, Franklin Drive-In)

The Strangers:Prey at Night (C)

A couple of interesting set pieces aren’t enough to make this just another forgettable, cliche riddled horror films. (Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10)

Tomb Raider (C-)

Lara Croft is back, for better or worse, in a reboot of the early 2000s franchise that featured Angelina Jolie as the English archaeologist made popular in a 1996 video game.

This time it’s another best supporting actress, Alicia Vikander, in the role of Croft. And while she proves to be a slight improvement over Jolie’s rather cold performances, she can’t save an action movie that plods along at a snail’s pace. (Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10, Highland Cinemas)

Tyler Perry’s Acrimony (not reviewed at this time)

(Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12)

Unsane (C)

An intriguing premise gets undermined but the script halfway through leaving audiences frustrated by what could have been (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12)

A Wrinkle in Time (B-)

This Disney epic aimed at young girls is a beautiful film that will satisfy its target audience, with enough sprinkled in to interest everyone else too. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12)
