The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
Christopher Nolan’s third Batman movie is forgettable entertainment that keeps going for 2 hours, 44 minutes. Christian Bale’s Batman voice and villain Tom Hardy (Bane) are nearly inaudible. As Catwoman, Anne Hathaway is no Michelle Pfeiffer.

Moonrise Kingdom (2012)
Director Wes Anderson crafts a first love story (with newcomers Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward) so specific yet as universal as the blush of a first kiss. Back with Anderson are Bill Murray and Jason Schwartzman, who lead an All-Star supporting cast.

Friends with Kids (2012)
21 Jump Street (2012)
The remake of the 1980s television series splits the difference between complete goof and homage, casting Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum the next generation of undercover high school cops. The whole thing works, with a few cameos from the original series.

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (2012)
Adorable Emily Blunt and Ewan McGregor make witty sparing partners — at least by British standards — in what starts out as a harmless romantic comedy. Then the film turns into an overwrought drama about a missing soldier and dead fish.

Project X (2012)
Three high school kids throw a party without parental supervision because they want to be cool and popular, but it’s never been done like this. From its text-fueled promotion to Nima Nourizadeh’s crude direction, the movie captures the YouTube zeitgeist.
