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.

A Bad Mom’s Christmas (C-)

This sequel abandons the formula that made the original a pleasant surprise and replaces it with a rather cliched holiday tale that introduces the mothers to the mix. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Highland Cinemas)

Blade Runner 2049 (B)

The sequel to the 1982 si-fi cult classic is a visual marvel that falls short of greatness with a lengthy running time that takes too much time to unwind a plot that is pretty easy to see coming ahead of time. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12)

Boo 2: A Madea Halloween (D)

Tyler Perry is back in a film that just goes in circles, retreading the same material from the previous Madea Halloween movie. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Highland Cinemas)

Daddy’s Home 2 (C)

It’s been a mere eight days since the latest family Christmas gone wrong sequel “A Bad Mom’s Christmas,” yet here we are again in the same territory with “Daddy’s Home 2.”

The sequel to the surprise 2015 holiday hit that reunites Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg is more of the same, with most of the laughs already seen in the ads. There is probably enough for fans of the original, but if – like me – you didn’t find the first film nearly as charming as everyone else, even the additions of Mel Gibson and John Lithgow can’t raise the bar. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Regal Greenwood Mall 10, Highland Cinemas)

Geostorm (D+)

A ridiculous disaster movie where the plot gets even goofier and goofier as it progresses. (Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10)

Happy Death Day (B-)

The material isn’t very original, borrowing the “Groundhog Day” formula and inserting it into what is essentially a slasher film, but it still manages to provide an original spin in a surprisingly fun manner.

Anchored by a fun performance from Jessica Rothe, with some sleek direction from Christopher Landon (the son of late actor Michael Landon), this proves to be way better than expected. It’s a self-aware bit of fluff that is more fun than it probably should be. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Highland Cinemas)

It (B+)

The latest adaptation of the Stephen King novel draws strength from its strong young cast – especially Sophia Willis, with a star-making type of a performance that reminded me of Natalie Portman in “The Professional” and Kirsten Dunst in “Interview With the Vampire.” (Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10)

Jigsaw (not reviewed at this time)

(Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10, Highland Cinemas)

LBJ (B)

A solid bio pic of Lyndon Baines Johnson from director Rob Reiner that is anchored by strong work from Woody Harrelson as the title character. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12)

The Lego Ninjago Movie (B)

The LEGO cinematic world continues to expand with this solid follow-up to “The LEGO Movie” and “LEGO Batman.”

It doesn’t quite have the sharp pacing and across-the-board humor as the previous two films, but it is still lots of fun with enough moments to appease the entire family. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12)

Let There Be Light (not reviewed at this time)

(Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12)

Marshall (B)

From being the first African-American U.S. Supreme Court justice to his work in the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case, Thurgood Marshall was one of the most famous Americans of the 20th century.

But the latest film, “Marshall,” goes back even further, showing him during his early days as a lawyer working for the NAACP. With one specific case in Connecticut serving as a backdrop, this film may not provide as much insight into the future Supreme Court justice as one might hope for, but it does establish what made him tick while delivering a pretty solid courtroom drama (Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10)

Murder on the Orient Express (not reviewed at this time)

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

Only the Brave (B)

The true story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots is an effective drama with a strong ensemble cast that really pays tribute to these unsung heroes. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12)

Thank You For Your Service (B)

The war at home for soldiers returning from battle is nothing new, but that doesn’t make it any less effective in “Thank You For Your Service.”

This film delves deep into the psyche of young men forever changed by what they experienced on the battlefield. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12)

Thor: Ragnarok (A-)

The third solo film for the Norse God is easily the best of the three films, aided by a clever script that gives the title character a lighter side and the watchful eye of director Taika Waititi. As Marvel Universe films go, this is one of the lightest – but also one of the funniest. (Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10, Highland Cinemas)

Victoria and Abdul (C+)

The true story of an unlikely friendship between Queen Elizabeth and an Indian clerk named Abdul is dominated too much by Judi Dench’s queen, leaving little time to devote to Abdul’s journey. (Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10)
