There are worse things you could do this weekend than spend your hard-earned money on “Baywatch.”

The ghost sailor Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem) needs Captain Jack Sparrow’s (Johnny Depp) compass to escape from the Devil’s Triangle.
In space, no one can hear you say, “Meh.”
The psychological thriller is the sort of thing you’d be far more likely to enjoy if you stumbled across it on Amazon Prime rather than if you paid to see it in a theater.
The Amy Schumer-Goldie Hawn comedy is largely just a collection of jokes, outrageous scenes and gonzo supporting roles in search of a plot.
Much like with his “Sherlock Holmes” movies, writer-director Ritchie makes decidedly aggressive alterations to the story as we’ve come to know it.
The promotion for this weekend’s “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword” centers on Guy Ritchie’s original take on the Arthurian legend. But at this point, it’s hard to believe there’s an original take left on the story.
The only downside to crafting one of the most wildly original, insanely clever, out-of-nowhere crowd-pleasers of the past few decades? Eventually, you have to try to top yourself.
