November to December 2019 Tomatometer Predictions

Tomatometer Guess: 58%. After several less-than-stellar followups, will the sixth film in the Terminator be the one that changes things?

Actual Score: 70%. "Terminator: Dark Fate" still pales in comparison to the first two films in the series, but manages to be a vast improvement over the last couple of sequels with better action and a more engaging story.

Tomatometer Guess: 62%.

Actual Score: 73%. A formulaic, but competent and immensely entertaining watch carried by the performance of Cynthia Erivo.

Tomatometer Guess: 54%.

Actual Score: 66%. While overlong and a bit slow, "Motherless Brooklyn" showcases Edward Norton's potential as a director and features very good performances.

Tomatometer Guess: 79%. Mike Flanagan helms the movie adaptation of "Doctor Sleep", the sequel to "The Shining".

Actual Score: 73%. "Doctor Sleep" succeeds as a thought-provoking and psychologically taught follow up to "The Shining". Though, like with its predecessor, it requires some patience.

Tomatometer Guess: 30%.

Actual Score: 40%. As is usually the case with Roland Emmerich, "Midway" is heavy on bombastic action and overblown spectacle, but lacking in substance and historical accuracy.

Tomatometer Guess: 85%. James Mangold directs this historical biopic drama.

Actual Score: 91%. "Ford v. Ferrari" delivers with powerhouse performances from Matt Damon and Christian Bale, blends hard hitting drama with humor, and delivers tense, pulse-pounding racing sequences. Highly recommend.

Tomatometer Guess: 53%.

Actual Score: 60%. Elizabeth Banks' "Charlie's Angels" is uneven and shallow, but still agreeably entertaining (if forgettable) time benefiting from the chemistry of its leading ladies.

Tomatometer Guess: 40%. Perhaps the biggest wildcard of the year.

Actual Score: 19%. "Cats" is a woefully misguided and dreadful moviegoing experience that's an assault on the ears (thanks to lackluster singing) and the eyes (with its hideous character designs). But it's undeniably a fascinating movie.

I'd only recommend it to the extremely and morbidly curious crowd.

Tomatometer Guess: 86%. After the original went on to become the highest-grossing animated film of all time, it's a given that we'd be getting a sequel.

Actual Score: 76%. While not quite the classic the first "Frozen" was, "Frozen II" is a solid sequel boasting breathtaking animation, catchy songs, and plenty of emotional moments.

Tomatometer Guess: 49%.

Actual Score: 50%.

Tomatometer Guess: 91%.

Actual Score 96%.

Tomatometer Guess: 90%. Rian Johnson returns to his mid-budget roots with this whodunnit mystery.

Actual Score: 96%. With its amazing ensemble cast and witty spin on the whodunnit, "Knives Out" is clever, funny, unpredictable, masterfully directed, and surprisingly heartfelt. Making it one of the best films you'll see this year.

Tomatometer Guess: 94%. Martin Scorsese's long-awaited biopic drama about Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran reunites Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Al Pacino.

Actual Score: 96%%. Meticulously directed, perfectly paced, and brilliantly acted, "The Irishman" sees Martin Scorsese at the peak of his power as he de-glamorizes the gangster genre. Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Al Pacino all deliver spectacular performances. Though some of the de-aging is a bit off.

Tomatometer Guess: 75%. After "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" proved to be a huge critical and commercial hit, comes the sequel.

Actual Score: 68%. "The Next Level" is not quite as good or as fresh as its predecessor, but is still a highly enjoyable sequel featuring many of Welcome's strengths, including fun action sequences. Give it a watch.

Tomatometer Guess: 89%. The directors behind "Good Time" return for this drama thriller starring in almost unrecognizable Adam Sandler.

Actual Score: 93%. "Uncut Gems" is an exciting, tense, and darkly humorous thriller featuring a career best performance from Adam Sandler and a story that is enjoyably unpredictable. Though your mileage may vary based on how you respond to the off-kilter tone and pace.

Tomatometer Guess: 91%. After the immensely polarizing "The Last Jedi", J.J. Abrams returns to bring a conclusion to the hotly debated sequel trilogy and Skywalker saga.

Actual Score: 58%. While uneven and convoluted, "The Rise of Skywalker" is a bombastic and agreeably entertaining conclusion to the saga.

Tomatometer Guess: 71%.

Actual Score: 72%. It probably won't go down as a classic but "Spies In Disguise" is a funny and entertaining spy comedy that boasts a solid moral and benefits greatly from the chemistry between Will Smith and Tom Holland.
