Karate Kid: Legends doesn't have a great Rotten Tomatoes score, but its standing in the franchise reveals a harsh reality. The 2025 film unites almost every corner of the Karate Kid franchise that has existed over the last 41 years. Jackie Chan's Mr. Han from the 2010 reboot is back and interacting with Ralph Macchio's Daniel LaRusso, the original trilogy star who most recently appeared in Cobra Kai. The sequel TV show proved to be an excellent relaunch for the Karate Kid franchise, resulting in the new movie's development. 5u2c

Rotten Tomatoesis easily the review aggregator most people default to when evaluating movies and TV shows. While people should, ideally, form their own opinions, getting a professional review is the easiest way to know if something is worth watching, and with how easy it is for Rotten Tomatoes to gather up reviews, it’s almost always the site people will turn to if they’re looking to evaluate something.

Even though Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning is a celebration of the entire franchise, it has a significantly lower Rotten Tomatoes score than the last few movies in the series. This isn't to suggest that the latest entry in the long-running spy series is bad. In fact, reviews for Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning have been quite solid, with Screen Rant's own Mary Kassel giving it a score of 8 out of 10. Currently, the film has an 80% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes (via Rotten Tomatoes), which is very respectable.

If Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning has started its life with a somewhat disappointing Rotten Tomatoes score, it's only a reminder of how great the last 14 years have been for Tom Cruise's action franchise. The Mission: Impossible series is considered to be one of the best action franchises of all time, with the Tom Cruise movies managing to maintain a shocking level of quality since it started in 1996. This makes The Final Reckoning's Rotten Tomatoes performance more disappointing, with it coming in below some of the franchise's recent entries.

The Rotten Tomatoes score for Hurry Up Tomorrow is incredibly low, with most critics decrying the Jenna Ortega and The Weeknd thriller as one of the worst films of the year. The film stars The Weeknd as himself, portrayed here as a heartbroken artist who is having trouble keeping up with his commitments as a famous musician. After struggling at a concert, an encounter between the Weeknd and his enticing but enigmatic fan Anima leads to a night in Santa Monica where The Weeknd is forced to open up — especially after Anima holds him against his will and threatens his life.

Paul Rudd's new comedy with Tim Robinson, Friendship, has set a massive record for the long-time actor on Rotten Tomatoes. An eccentric comedy about two neighbors whose budding friendship comes under strain when Robinson’s character becomes dangerously obsessed with their shared hobbies, the film opened to excellent reviews at the Toronto International Film Festival last year. Many critics are calling it the funniest movie either actor has made in years. The strong reviews for Friendshiphave manifested in an equally strong Rotten Tomatoes score, which is impressive even by Rudd’s standards.

Following the success of some of the other well-received live-action adaptations, Disney has finally released its new version of Snow White, but the reception has been much more mixed. The 2025 Snow White has faced controversies and production troubles from the start, already giving the movie bad press leading up to its release. As a result, Snow White's opening weekend fell far below expectations, bringing in only $87.3 million worldwide and providing little to no chance for Disney to make a profit at this point in time.

A Jason Statham action movie has received positive reviews once more for A Working Man, continuing the actor's Rotten Tomatoes turnaround. Throughout his career, Jason Statham has become known as a star who can routinely deliver entertaining and successful action films. He did this once again in 2024 with The Beekeeper. The movie was so successful critically and financially that he partnered up with director David Ayer again. That inspired confidence that the 2025 film would similarly be a success story and generally well-received by critics when A Working Man's Rotten Tomatoes score debuted.

Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega’s quirky new A24 monster movie Death of a Unicorn has earned a “rotten” score on Rotten Tomatoes, but it’s not as bad as it sounds. Rudd and Ortega play a father and daughter who accidentally hit and kill a unicorn on the way to a crisis management summit held by the dad’s boss, played by Richard E. Grant. When his boss tries to exploit the creature’s magical abilities, its grieving parents show up to exact revenge.

Even though her performance is great in the movie, Snow White continues an unfortunate Rotten Tomatoes streak for Rachel Zegler. Playing the leading role in Snow White was always a risky decision for Zegler, especially since many of the recent live-action Disney remakes have not been critically successful. Even though Zegler's newest movie is an adaptation of an iconic story, critics have not been kind to it. Reviews for Snow White have not been very positive, with Screen Rant's own Rachel Labonte giving the movie an underwhelming score of 5 out of 10.
