20 Rotten Tomatoes Predictions For 2022's Biggest Movies

11. Lightyear (94%)

Buzz Lightyear
Pixar

We've already talked up Pixar's incredible critical track record, and there are few films this year more ripe for near-universal acclaim than Lightyear.

What could've been a cynical, shameless Toy Story spin-off actually seems like a pretty damn clever examination of the "real" Buzz Lightyear - the astronaut who inspired the iconic action figure in the Toy Story universe.

Between its evidently stunning animation and the perfect vocal casting of Chris Evans as Buzz, this should be an absolute slam dunk both critically and commercially.

Anything below 90% on the Tomatometer seems basically out of the question short of a disaster, and it's entirely possible it ends up with strong raves across the board, with few critics dipping below four stars.
