- THE SPIRIT (2008) – 14%Critics Consensus: Though its visuals are unique, The Spirit’s plot is almost incomprehensible, the dialogue is ludicrously mannered, and the characters are unmemorable.Starring: Gabriel Macht, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Eva MendesDirected By: Frank Miller (II)
THE PERFECT SCORE (2004) – 16%Critics Consensus: Neither funny nor suspenseful, this heist / teen flick also fails to explore its potentially socially relevant premise.Starring: Erika Christensen, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Bryan GreenbergDirected By: Brian Robbins
IF LUCY FELL (1996) – 18%Critics Consensus: No consensus yet.Starring: Sarah Jessica Parker, Ben Stiller, Elle Macpherson, James RebhornDirected By: Eric Schaeffer
HOME ALONE 3 (1997) – 29%Critics Consensus: No consensus yet.Starring: Alex D. Linz, Olek Krupa, Rya Kihlstedt, Lenny Von DohlenDirected By: Raja Gosnell
THE BLACK DAHLIA (2006) – 32%Critics Consensus: Though this ambitious noir crime-drama captures the atmosphere of its era, it suffers from subpar performances, a convoluted story, and the inevitable comparisons to other, more successful films of its genre.Starring: Josh Hartnett, Scarlett Johansson, Aaron Eckhart, Hilary SwankDirected By: Brian DePalma
THE NANNY DIARIES (2007) – 34%Critics Consensus: The Nanny Diaries’ miscast lead and unrealistic, one-dimensional characters make this class satire far less effective than it should’ve been.Starring: Scarlett Johansson, Laura Linney, Alicia Keys, Chris EvansDirected By: Robert Pulcini, Shari Springer Berman
A GOOD WOMAN (2006) – 38%Critics Consensus: This adaptation of Wilde’s Lady Windermere’s Fan lacks bite due to liberties taken with the source material, coupled with uneven performances.Starring: Helen Hunt, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Wilkinson, Stephen Campbell MooreDirected By: Mike Barker
THE ISLAND (2005) – 40%Critics Consensus: A clone of THX 1183, Coma, and Logan’s Run, The Island is another loud and bombastic Michael Bay movie where explosions and chases matter more than characters, dialogue, or plot.Starring: Ewan McGregor, Scarlett Johansson, Djimon Hounsou, Sean BeanDirected By: Michael Bay
SCOOP (2006) – 41%Critics Consensus: Rehashing old plot lines and characters, Scoop is a tiresome dipper and another disappointing addition to Woody Allen’s repertoire.Starring: Woody Allen, Hugh Jackman, Scarlett Johansson, Ian McShaneDirected By: Woody Allen
HE’S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU (2009) – 41%Critics Consensus: Despite the best efforts of a talented cast, He’s Just Not That Into You devotes too little time to each of its protagonists, thus reducing them to stereotypes.Starring: Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer ConnellyDirected By: Ken Kwapis
THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL (2008) – 43%Critics Consensus: Though it features some extravagant and entertaining moments, The Other Boleyn Girl feels more like a soap opera than historical drama.Starring: Eric Bana, Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson, Jim SturgessDirected By: Justin Chadwick

A LOVE SONG FOR BOBBY LONG (2004) – 43%Critics Consensus: A Love Song for Bobby Long gets by for a few bars on the strength of its core cast, but the story’s preponderance of kooky clichés falls flat.Starring: John Travolta, Scarlett Johansson, Gabriel Macht, Deborah Kara UngerDirected By: Shainee Gabel
ROUGH NIGHT (2017) – 44%Critics Consensus: Rough Night’s gifted stars are certainly good for some laughs, but their talents aren’t properly utilized in a scattered comedy that suffers from too many missed opportunities.Starring: Scarlett Johansson, Kate McKinnon, Ilana Glazer, Zoë KravitzDirected By: Lucia Aniello
GHOST IN THE SHELL (2017) – 44%Critics Consensus: Ghost in the Shell boasts cool visuals and a compelling central performance from Scarlett Johansson, but the end result lacks the magic of the movie’s classic source material.Starring: Scarlett Johansson, Michael Pitt, Christopher Obi, Josep NaufahuDirected By: Rupert Sanders
EIGHT LEGGED FREAKS (2002) – 48%Critics Consensus: This homage to the B-movies of the ’50s has a promising first half, but runs out of ideas in the second.Starring: David Arquette, Kari Wuhrer, Scott Terra, Doug E. DougDirected By: Ellory Elkayem
AN AMERICAN RHAPSODY (2001) – 55%Critics Consensus: Though obviously a labor of love, American Rhapsody is an uneven, heavy-handed effort, particularly in the second half.Starring: Nastassja Kinski, Scarlett Johansson, Tony Goldwyn, Mae WhitmanDirected By: Éva Gárdos
HITCHCOCK (2012) – 60%Critics Consensus: Though it suffers from tonal inconsistency and a lack of truly insightful retrospection, Hitchcock is elevated by inspired performances from its two distinguished leads.Starring: Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica BielDirected By: Sacha Gervasi

WE BOUGHT A ZOO (2011) – 65%Critics Consensus: We Bought a Zoo is a transparently cloying effort by director Cameron Crowe, but Matt Damon makes for a sympathetic central character.Starring: Matt Damon, Scarlett Johansson, Thomas Haden Church, Colin FordDirected By: Cameron Crowe
LUCY (2014) – 67%Critics Consensus: Enthusiastic and silly, Lucy powers through the movie’s logic gaps with cheesy thrills plus Scarlett Johansson’s charm — and mostly succeeds at it.Starring: Scarlett Johansson, Morgan Freeman, Amr Waked, Julian Rhind-TuttDirected By: Luc Besson
GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING (2004) – 72%Critics Consensus: Visually arresting, but the story could be told with a bit more energy.Starring: Scarlett Johansson, Colin Firth, Tom Wilkinson, Judy ParfittDirected By: Peter Webber

THE MAN WHO WASN’T THERE (2001) – 81%Critics Consensus: Stylish but emotionally distant, The Man Who Wasn’t There is a clever tribute to the film noir genre.Starring: Billy Bob Thornton, Frances McDormand, Michael Badalucco, James GandolfiniDirected By: Joel Coen
