The 10 Worst Films of 2025

Normally I don't even hate enough films in a year to fill out a top 10. I usually tack a "5 worst" at the end of my Top 10 of x year list. But this year, I somehow managed to watch a lot of bullshit. So here's what didn't work for me this year. If you like a film that's on this list. I'm jealous, trust me. I watched all of these films hoping I'd like them.



10. Superman -
I've never cared for Superman as a property, but I thought if someone could make me like him, it would be James Gunn. Turns out he only made me like Lex Luther. The dialogue in this movie was horrendous and only Nicholas Hoult sounded natural. 


9. Snow White -
Rachel Zegler is a star and deserved a better film that didn't include nightmare fuel CG dwarfs and a walking cardboard cut out playing the evil queen.


8. Death of a Unicorn -
The trailer for this looked like such a great time and it ended being so dull. Easily the biggest disappointment on this list. 



7.
The Woman in Cabin 10 - I'm sure as a book this was an okay read, but it made for a silly movie where I wanted to scream at half the characters for the choices they made.


6. The Legend of Ochi -
There could've been a great story in here somewhere, but it became style over substance instead. 


5. Him -
Marlon Waynes' committed performance cannot safe this sports movie made by someone who wanted to try to make one that film bros could enjoy....I guess? What a mess. 


4. How To Train Your Dragon -
This film really should be #1 on the basis of how much it offends me, but John Powell's soundtrack and Astrid's cool look give it a bit of goodwill. How you manage to remake a movie almost beat for beat and completely lose the soul of the animated version is truly impressive. Even more impressive when every single actor in it is terrible, including a guy who literally played the same character. Honestly Gerard Butler, maybe you should stick to voice acting. 


3. Honey, Don't -
Hot women can't save whatever soft corn porn Ethan Cohen was writing under the guise of a real film here. 


2. Eddington -
I didn't think I could hate Ari Aster's work more than I did Beau Is Afraid, but he called my bluff with this. This was such a chore to get through. The only reason it's not #1 is because objectively, the next film *is* worse. But I hated this one more because I had high expectations. 


1. Locked -
By the end of the movie, I was begging for both the protagonist in the car, and the antagonist over the phone to just spontaneously combust.

  2. While I will disagree with you on Superman, I am fortunate to have not seen some of these films as I refuse to watch the new Snow White. Fuck Gal Gadot and all of her Zionist bullshit.

    1. Superman is the best film on this list. I'm pretty bummed I didn't like it.

  3. Ouch on Superman and How To Train Your Dragon... not great but not exactly terrible movies.

    Agreed on Snow White though, and glad I dodged the bullet on Eddington and Honey, Don't ... no interest in seeing those.

    1. I love the animated HTTYD so much I was always going to hate the original. Yes, skip Eddington and Honey, Don't they're not even worth bad movie watches.

  4. I'm going to disagree with you on Superman, which I enjoyed pretty well. Death of a Unicorn and Him were both wildly disappointing.
