WorstReviewed

Overwatch 2 has made history by becoming the worst-reviewed game on Steam. Publisher Blizzard, which usually kept its PC games locked to the Battle.net client, brought its team-based shooter to Steam on August 10, only to be flooded with negative reviews. At the time of writing, merely nine percent of the overall ratings (111,234) are positive, with many criticising the title's approach to locking heroes and cosmetics behind a battle pass and the cancellation of its long-advertised PvE mode. While Blizzard might have…

Adam Driver’s significant star power is breathing new life into one of the actor’s biggest flops thanks to streaming. Though the sci-fi actioner 65 represents the worst-reviewed movie of Driver’s entire career, it apparently generated enough curiosity from audiences to still make a significant mark on its Netflix debut. 65 currently holds the number 2 spot on Netflix’s Top 10 movies this week. That represents quite the comeback for a movie that holds firmly in the mid-30s on Rotten Tomatoes, and barely eked past its…

via Marvel Studios James Gunn has come clean and admitted that superhero fatigue is a very real thing, with the departing Marvel Cinematic Universe veteran and co-CEO of DC Studios even underlining the problems that have dogged countless comic book blockbusters over the years, so hopes were high that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 would be a return to form. On one hand, it very much is, with the early reactions and first wave of reviews indicating that Gunn has indeed arrested the MCU’s terminal decline by…

via Paramount Even though he backed up his self-appointed status as Franchise Viagra by driving the Journey, G.I. Joe, and Fast & Furious sequels to new heights at the box office, not even the power of Dwayne Johnson could save Baywatch from disaster. That being said, the big screen remake of the classic TV series was nowhere near a box office bomb after earning $178 million at the box office, but a 17 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes ties it with Tooth Fairy as the worst-reviewed entry in The Rock’s entire…

via Sony Having carved out a reputation as one of the finest actors of his generation – with two Academy Award nominations and three Golden Globe nodes to prove it – Adam Driver decided to do what many of his contemporaries do at the height of their powers, and try his hand at being an action hero. While he may have lent support as Kylo Ren in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, it would be fair to say that he wasn’t the main attraction, something that can’t be said of the high concept sci-fi actioner 65. As much as…

via Sony Taste and personal preference is entirely subjective, but it’s hard to argue with facts. As the most popular genre in cinema, superhero stories continue to divide opinion and ignite discussion, but not a single one of them has fared worse in terms of reviews than 2006’s Zoom. A Rotten Tomatoes score of only four percent gives it the unwanted distinction of being the lowest-rated comic book adaptation of all-time on the aggregation site. That means Tim Allen’s dismal return to action as the title hero…

James Cameron is a supremely confident individual, which comes with the territory when you’ve spent decades being written off with virtually every new project, only to continue reinventing the face of cinema while luxuriating in monstrous box office rewards. True to form, Avatar: The Way of Water is reflective of its creator to a tee. We’ve been hearing for almost a decade and a half that the franchise’s popularity was on the wane, only for several re-releases to prove that audiences were more than happy to pay for a…

via New Line Cinema As tiresome as the constant remaking and rebooting of almost every noteworthy horror franchise under the sun has become, there have been several worthwhile additional installments and reinventions to emerge from what admittedly tends to be an overwhelming volume of turgid banality. That being said, Texas Chainsaw Massacre has proven to be among the worst offenders when it comes to quantity over quality. Since Tobe Hooper’s classic 1974 original, we’ve seen direct follow-ups, legacy sequels,…

via Warner Bros. History has shown that any movie with the word (or a variation of) “versus” in the title has a 50/50 chance of being awful, but 2002’s video game adaptation Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever took things to an entirely new level by becoming the single worst-reviewed film in the history of Rotten Tomatoes. While calling something the worst of the worst could easily be interpreted as a personal opinion, or even outright hyperbole, the facts speak for themselves. The maligned sci-fi actioner currently…

via Open Road Films When you think of the superhero genre, comic book adaptations are obviously going to be the first thing that comes to mind. That’s fair, when the printed page has given rise to the majority of the most iconic costumed crimefighters in existence, but it’s toy line Max Steel that holds the unwanted distinction of marking the artform’s undoubted nadir. Any discussion revolving around the worst superhero films ever made always tends to throw up the same candidates; Josh Trank’s Fant4stic, the…
