Here is My Movie Review of War Of The Worlds 2025

Now when this movie was announced I was not that excited for it the trailer looked really terrible especially the CGI in the trailer looked really bad and this felt so unnecessary because the 2005 war of the Worlds film with Tom Cruise is a perfect and really fun film so I don't know why they decide to remake it so many years later. To me it just felt like a cash grab.So I watched it and I can completely say that statement is completely true this is the most horrible and one of the most stupid remake I have ever seen and this is by doubt the worst film of 2025 because it takes everything you like about the 2005 movie and makes it fucking lame Gone is the awesome CGI effects. The steaks are absolutely fucking mini skill there's nothing scary in this film. 

To be honest I don't have to explain the fucking storyline that much because it is just a lazy rehash of the 2005 movie except it's on a fucking Chromebook except the characters name is Will Rad ford Who is not interesting and does not hold a candle to Ray Ferrier who is actually Intelligent and I will talk about why well Rad ford in a horrible character. So it's up to will Rad ford to survive against the aliens with his family that barely with the fucking story is for this film it's just a horrible rehash of the original 2005 film. 2005 foam actually has balls it actually has high stakes to it. Oh trust me we will talk about the horrible CGI in this film. 

Let's talk about the fucking acting in this movie oh my goodness the acting this movie is abysmal. Now I'm not going to act like the 2005 movie had magnificent acting because it is not. The acting was fun and entertaining to watch for a 2005 Sci-Fi film. But sadly the acting in the 2005 film is way better than the acting in this horrible remake. 

However the worst performance in this entire film is Ice Cube as Will Rad ford All his performance consist of him doing it just screaming at the top of his lungs and freak out that is his whole performance in the film and he doesn't even hold a candle to Tom Cruise's iconic performance as Ray Ferrier because Tom Cruise had Charisma and he give a really awesome and captive in performance in the 2005 film. Well  Ice Cube he is just going over the top and screaming like a learner Tech now yes Tom Cruise did scream in the original but the difference is that his character Ray Ferrier was really stressed out and wanted to protect his family so you can kind of buy Cruise going over the top in the original film. Now the character of Will Rad ford is such a douchebag he is so unlikable because all he does is yell as family for like a whole hour in the film and he doesn't grow at the character compare that to Ray Ferrier who is a dad that had a pregnant wife he had to protect his two kids from the island from killing him and his family and yes Ray was unlikable but there was a  reason because he was overly stressed he didn't want his family to die so when he raises his voice or freaked out is queerly justify why he acts like that because you feel bad for him in that film where you don't feel shit for Will Rad ford because he is jackass throughout the whole movie. The scene of Will Rad ford trying to calm his family down was just really stupid and it wasn't as emotional or powerful like it was in the original 2005 film because in that film you buy Ray as dad but in this film you don't buy will at the dam because again the movie just makes him such a loser.  Also in the original film the scene where he tried to calm his family down was a really powerful and beautiful scene to watch. But here you like shut up. I don't care about your problems. The chemistry between him and Henry Hunter Hill, Iman Benson, Eva Longoria, is average. 

Henry Hunter Hill plays Will Rad Ford's son Dave Rad Ford and he gives the most annoying performance throughout the entire film because all he does is scream must if not all his dialogue and he did give a really horrible and uninteresting performance as the character. Not to mention he does not hold a candle to Justin Chatwin's iconic performance from the 2005 film because that actor who played Robbie Ferrier gives a far more captivating and a lot more incredible performance. Then Henry Hunt Hill did this film. Now the character of David Read Ford Is so unlikable all he does throughout the film is argue with his dad and in the original film  Robbie Ferrier will a jerk but at the same time you could understand why he was like that because he was he was scared because he did want the aliens to kill him and his family and yes he was a jerk to his younger sister Rachel Ferrier. But there was a reason because he do not want her to be killed by the alien because he didn't want to live there and there were moments where he does really care about her in the bonded between him and Rachel Ferrier Is much better than the bonding between David Rad Ford and Faith Rad Ford because all they do is argued throughout the whole film and you don't really buy the chemistry in the film at all Because they are so unlikable towards one another and even when they try to show emotional stuff between David and his sister it fails miserably and it doesn't hold a candle to the bonding between Rachel and her brother Robbie in the original 2005 film. The chemistry between him and Ice Cube is okay. 

Eva Longoria plays Dr Sandra Salas In the film and she  gives a  nothing Performance. She probably just gives one of the most boring performances of the entire film. Now the character of Dr Sandra Salas It's supposed to be this really intelligent person who works at NASA who want to help will and his family survive against the aliens but you don't really care about her because she is just a nothing character she's just so bland and so uninteresting and the scene where she tried to explain what the aliens need was so boring it was just so boring to watch because you don't really care about the stinks that happen in this film because they are absolutely manicure. The chemistry between her and Ice Cube is average. 

 Iman Benson Probably gives the most annoying as fuck performance as Will Rad Ford's daughter Faith Rad Ford  because all she does is scream her head off throughout the entire film that's all her performance consist of of her screaming and  throughout the entire film and she doesn't even hold a candle too Dakota Fanning's iconic performance as  Rachel Ferrier from the 2005 film. But as bad the performance that is nothing compared to the character because the character of Faith Rad Ford because she was annoying and so unlikable to the point that I am not even King here I want her to die in the movie that's how annoyed I was with this character and yes Rachel Ferrier was annoying in the original film but It actually made sense and I didn't mind that because she is still a really sweet and interesting character because there was a reason for being annoying because she was overly scared of the aliens trying to kill her and her family so you can understand her screaming and crying. Although she still cares for the  family In the original 2005 film.  But in this film you just hate Faith Radford  because you don't buy for a second that you care about our family because she didn't come off as a bitch to her whole family well in the original you bought Rachel as Ray's daughter because she actually cared about him the most along with the rest of her family. But in this film she just comes off as a bitch  and that's all they made her to be in this film. Also the relationship between her and her father is lame and really stupid it feels more like a failed married couple because they just argue throughout the whole film. The chemistry between her and Ice Cube is okay.

Now I talk about the worst day in this movie the fucking aliens because these aliens are not even scary because in the original 2005 film they were horrifying because they came right around I say the first 20 minutes and what do they do well they fucking vaporize the humans because they found them inferior beings and they need to eat something and the spaceships looked amazing especially when the mother ship in the final battle of the film it looked amazing. But in this movie the aliens are so fucking lame because the CGI Is so bad to the point that I don't think They even used practical effects they just filmed this behind a green screen that's how horrible it looks and that's how obviously bad the CGI Is in the film. Also in this film instead of wanted to eat The humans because they are inferior beings in this one for some dumb as hell Raven I don't know why they did this but apparently the aliens want to take over Earth because they want fucking Wi-Fi Yeah I wish I was fucking kidding and this movie the aliens wide data from Planet Earth and that was so fucking stupid and the final battle Against the aliens doesn't even hold a candle To the final battle in the 2005 film because that one had sticks because the family and the towns people had to take down the mother ship with the help of Birds and the mother ship got destroyed And that was a brilliant way And the film. When this one they play it to Safe and the alien ship just leaves that is so lame and really stupid. Also the CGI in this film It's so bad. That makes the Silver Surfer from Fantastic Four First Steps look like the one From Fantastic Four Rise of the Silver Surfer in comparison. That's how bad the CGI is for the alien ship and I didn't even hate the CGI on that character. I actually enjoyed it. I would argue that even Galactus Fantastic 4 First Steps look a million times more threatening than the stupid walking alien spaceships in the film.  

However the worst thing about this movie is the directing by Richard Lee first off I don't know why they picked a rapper to direct this movie so that was really stupid but the thing that I hate about the directly that I don't think he knows what war of the world is because it's supposed to be this very suspenseful and horrifying movie that had to deal with the family trying to survive against an Alien invasion.  But in this movie he thinks it should be a full-on comedy film with characters screaming, acting like assholes and just being overall unlikable to another. Also he doesn't even try to develop the family because again he just make them like assholes the thing that you can give Steven Spielberg from that 2005 film that at least he made the audience care about the characters and the film he made had higher Stakes it was scary and it was really fun to watch and at least he had a fucking tone to the original film he wanted to make it a Sci-Fi throw or film and that the film we ended up getting from Steven Spielberg. But the director in this film doesn't even hold a candle to Steven Spielberg's perfect erecting in that original film. All of us for some reason we think it's a good idea to add a bunch of shaky cam in the film during the intense moments it does not work because No joke when I watched this film I literally kind of got a headache from just looking at the film I'm like yeah that would actually give someone a headache the overall I think he did a horrible job direct in this film. 

So In conclusion I fucking hate this movie I knew this movie was going to suck but I didn't know  it was going suck this much to the point that it will be unwatchable. Not to mention the storyline is just a rip off to the original. The only difference is that the original film had something that this movie does not. It does not have stinks or the character development that that film had. Well this film is a rip off of the original storyline. All the performances are shit I couldn't stand anyone in this movie, especially the actress who plays the daughter in this movie. She was annoying; she was just so unlikable throughout the entire film to the point that I wanted the aliens to kill her. That's how unlikable she was. Also Ice Cube was annoyed that this movie did not hold a candle to Tom Cruise ´ s iconic performance from that 2005 film. The atrocious CGI made me want to hit my head against a wall in some areas especially when you saw the mother ships looked really bad compared to the original film where one relied on practical effects and the effects still hold up after all these years. This film is like oh we're going to put CGI everywhere and it definitely does show because it is filmed in In front of fucking green screen. That's how horrible the CGI was. Also all the characters in Fantastic 4 First Steps are way more likable and way more interesting than any of the characters in this film. This is definitely one of the worst films of 2025 because the big middle finger to War the Worlds 2005 it makes it fucking lame. This is definitely going to be in my top 3 worst films of this entire year. So I highly recommend you watch the original War of the Worlds from 2005 because it had better CGI, it had a better storyline better acting the character are all really fun and you'll have a much better and more fun experience with that film than with this fucking piece of shit. I give this film a 0/10.
