Top 10 Upcoming Movies in 2025 That Might Suck

#10: Untitled Jurassic World Movie
Although the latest two entries in Universal’s famous dinosaur franchise took billion dollar bites out of the box office, they haven’t been beloved by critics. 2022’s “Jurassic World Dominion” even stands as the worst reviewed movie in the entire series. After two critical failures, The franchise is hoping to get back on track with a new movie. The untitled film will be directed by Gareth Edwards of “Godzilla” fame and will feature the reliable Scarlett Johannson as the lead. While the duo definitely has promise, the story will make or break the final product. The new script faces the daunting challenge of trying to go somewhere that the previous six films haven’t. If the idea isn’t strong enough, the “Jurassic” franchise might go extinct again.
#9: A Live-Action “How To Train Your Dragon”
All three installments in this animated Dreamworks fantasy series received rave reviews across the board. But there’s a chance that the move to live-action could end the franchise’s hot streak. Instead of crafting a new story, the 2025 movie will retell the events of the 2010 film in a different medium. Outside of the lack of originality, the biggest concern will be the dragons themselves. The Dreamworks films constantly impressed us with how well they animated their title creatures. While major films have featured impressive dragons before, it’s unknown if the new movie’s live-action creation will be able to measure up. The 2025 movie may ultimately be seen as a lesser version of a practically flawless story.
#8: An “I Know What You Did Last Summer” Sequel
The original premise for this horror plot was rock solid. A year after a group of friends tried to cover up a near fatal accident, the victim returned with a fish hook to get revenge. While the first installment found success, the following two movies were thrashed by everyone who saw them. Their negative reception doesn’t bode well for the next “I Know What You Did Last Summer” movie. The script will once again try to continue the story of the first film. Additionally, a few of the original stars are set to return. Although it will be great to see familiar faces, it’s still unknown how the filmmakers can make the concept feel memorable once more.
#7: “Minecraft” (2025)
In recent years, megahits like “The Last of Us” and “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” have proven that video games can be made into great films. However, we’re skeptical that “Minecraft” can continue this positive trend. The original video game encouraged players to collect materials so they can build whatever they can imagine. Although “Minecraft” has lots of lore to draw from and story driven spin-offs, the game has prioritized player freedom over plot. Will longtime fans enjoy the world so much if they’re not active participants? While that question hung in the air, actors like Jack Black and Kate McKinnon were cast to play big roles. It remains to be seen if their star power can help “Minecraft” avoid the video game movie curse.
#6: “The Naked Gun” (2025)
Back in the 80s, audiences were introduced to a hilarious police lieutenant named Frank Drebin. Leslie Nielsen portrayed the silly character on a show and in three full cinematic installments. After more than 30 years out of the public eye, Liam Neeson is set to bring Drebin back to the screen. While the actor has solid comedic chops, it’ll be hard not to compare him to the legendary Nielsen. The new “Naked Gun” may also struggle to do well in a movie market where parody movies have become increasingly rare. And although funnyman Seth MacFarlane is writing the script, he hasn’t always had the best track record with live action movies. Time will tell if “Naked Gun” has what it takes to fire on all cylinders.
#5: “Mortal Kombat 2” (2024)
Fans of this fight-filled universe were pleasantly surprised when this reboot delivered solid action and plenty of Easter eggs. It also hinted at fan favorites like Johnny Cage and a full fighting tournament. While all of those elements delivered, viewers and critics found the character development to be a little lacking. This flaw could prove to be the sequel’s greatest weakness. “Mortal Kombat 2” plans to add at least eight new characters to the mix. And if the story does commit to a tournament, fans won’t get enough time with the cast. Even if the action is great, it may not work if people aren’t invested in who wins and loses. Fans really don’t want a repeat of the infamously bad “Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.”
#4: Untitled Fast & Furious Spinoff AKA “Hobbs & Reyes”
After starring as the main villain of “Fast X”, Jason Momoa’s Dante was supposed to return for the 11th film. But after the tenth film underperformed, the filmmakers decided to drift into a new plan. The studio will resolve the villain’s plotline and potentially wrap up “Fast X”s cliffhanger ending in the tentatively titled “Hobbes & Reyes” spinoff movie. Although “Hobbs & Shaw” set itself up for a sequel, that exciting plot may be sidelined in favor of tying up the franchise’s loose ends. This spinoff might also disappoint fans who were looking forward to seeing a final clash between Momoa and the main cast. There’s a chance that using “Hobbs & Reyes” as a bridge to 11 could cause the story to crash and burn.
#3: “Tron: Ares” (2025)
There have been plans in place to make a follow up to “Tron: Legacy” since 2010. But after Disney had several big box office failures, the cyber franchise was taken offline. Although fans were happy to hear that “Tron Ares” escaped development hell, a few details kept them wary of the film. The fact that the movie went from being a sequel to a reboot to a sequel again wasn’t seen as a great sign. And while Jared Leto’s casting once drew applause, his roles in recent flops have now caused fans to groan about his casting, Although the great Jeff Bridges is set to cameo, it’s unclear if even his presence can convince audiences to give “Ares” a shot.
#2: “Snow White” (2025)
Disney’s attempt to remake their legendary animated princess feature has been overshadowed by negative press throughout production. While some fans were upset about Rachel Zegler’s critical comments about the original, others disliked how the studio cast the seven dwarves. Certain moviegoers were also thrown off by the news that the new film would rely heavily on CGI. And some longtime fans of the story were not enthusiastic about potential changes to the narrative. It’s unknown if Disney made extensive changes to address any of the public backlash. But no matter what the studio does, it’s unlikely that the final version of “Snow White” will please everyone.
#1: “Blade” (2024)
We really don’t want this vampire movie to suck. Outside of Marhershala Ali being the perfect choice for Blade, the character has a fascinating backstory and is an excellent fighter. Unfortunately, the odds are stacked against this Marvel film. “Blade” has had an exceptionally troubled production. The film has changed directors and undergone a number of major rewrites. In one version of the script, Blade allegedly wasn’t even the main character! Schedule delays have also caused the project to lose certain actors. On top of all that, a string of critical failures caused Marvel Studios to rethink certain elements of the movie. It will be a miracle if “Blade” emerges from a storm of the storm of behind the scenes issues clean.
