‘War of the Worlds’ (2025) Is Officially One of the Worst 100 Films of All Time
Amazon’s “War of the Worlds” (2025) is an officially certified flop. Currently sitting at #88 on Rotten Tomatoes’ “100 Worst Movies of All Time,” this adaptation earned a shockingly rare—but well-deserved—0% Tomatometer score based on over 20 critical reviews. While that alone should be cause for alarm, the film’s staggering failures in script, direction, and respect for its source material make it clear this placement vastly underrepresents just how deep the cinematic crater it has dug truly is.

Alan Tudyk Reveals He Was Dropped From ‘I, Robot’ Marketing After Scoring Higher Than Will Smith With Test Audiences
In a recent podcast appearance on Toon’d In with Jim Cummings, actor Alan Tudyk opened up about a lesser-known chapter in his career involving the 2004 sci-fi thriller I, Robot.
Known for his versatile voice work and motion capture roles, Tudyk shared how his performance as the robot Sonny apparently stole the spotlight in test screenings—so much so that it resulted in him being sidelined from the film’s promotional efforts seemingly for overshadowing the film’s star Will Smith.
