THE WEEKEND IS coming up, and that means new movies for you to see.

But which is a must-watch, and are there any you should avoid?

We take a look.

Pixels

What we know

Adam Sandler vehicle that sees aliens trying to take over the world using video games as their inspiration. Right.

What the critics say

• “Pixels is one of those movies that you’ll go see because the ads looked cool, but you’ll walk out only to realize that two precious hours of your short life have been sucked away from you, never to be seen again.” – Nintendo Life
• “Then again, Pixels is really a comedy, or rather presents itself as one, as there is nary a chuckle to be found in this jumble of crude jokes, awkward cultural references and terrible comic timing. - Twitch

What’s it rated?

• RottenTomatoes: 3.7/10
• IMDB: 5.5

Manglehorn

What we know

No, it isn’t Ian McShane – it’s Al Pacino who’s lost his love and is living a sad life indeed.

What the critics say

• “Green allows the character abundant space to breathe and develop, perhaps half-fearing the locksmith might erupt if the film draws too close.” - The Guardian
• “Green leaves Pacino adrift in “Manglehorn,” and the result is a disappointing, shambling piece of melancholy with a few interesting scenes here and there that never cohere in such a way that allows the legendary actor to disappear into the character.” - RogerEbert.com

What’s it rated?

• RottenTomatoes: 5.5/10
• IMDB: 5.9/10

Fantastic Four

What we know

The superheroes are back – and refreshed: this time they are played by Michael B Jordan, Kate Mara, Miles Teller and Jamie Bell – and here to save the world.

What the critics say

• “Josh Trank’s “Fantastic Four” feels like a primer in how to misjudge a property in enough fundamental ways that no amount of good work could have tipped this one completely.” – Hitfix
• “Ultimately, Fox’s stab at reviving one of its inherited Marvel properties feels less like a blockbuster for this age of comics-oriented tentpoles than it does another also-ran — not an embarrassment, but an experiment that didn’t gel.” - Variety

What’s it rated?

• RottenTomatoes: 3.6/10
• IMDB: 4.8/10
