Worst Movie of the Year Just Came Out

Overview

The video is a satirical review of Tom and Jerry: The Forbidden Compass, framed as an early contender for “worst movie of the year.” The host opens by pointing to the film’s punishing reception—citing a 0% Rotten Tomatoes score, a low audience score, and an IMDb rating of 3.3—and then argues that it feels disappointing compared to past Tom and Jerry entries.

Main Critique: Derailing the Franchise

The review focuses on how quickly the film abandons classic expectations. After a brief setup in which Tom and Jerry find a magic compass, they’re transported to a Chinese-mythology-inspired magical world within minutes.

The host also questions the film’s production and release path, suggesting:

• It was apparently released in China a year earlier under a different title.
• It later received a US theatrical release.
• This makes it seem like Western audiences were presented a version that doesn’t align with what fans expect.

The “Gotcha”: Tom and Jerry as Background Characters

A central joke (and critique) is that Tom and Jerry function mostly as background characters. The film, the host claims, largely behaves like a Chinese animated fantasy rather than a true Tom and Jerry story.

To support this, the host references:

• Screenshots
• The character list …and mocks the cast for not resembling familiar franchise figures.

They specifically contrast unfamiliar or oddly themed characters with more “classic” ones such as:

• “Heavenly Master”
• “Mega Rat”
• “Xander”

What Reviewers Commonly Say

The host echoes common reviewer complaints, including that the movie:

• Is basically unrelated to Tom and Jerry
• Feels like their branding was “slapped with”
• Left people surprised it even released

The host concludes that they personally watched the film and found it terrible, delivering a final jab that the Rotten Tomatoes “0%” might be “too harsh,” while still insisting Forbidden Compass is still very bad.

They make a meta comparison to another poorly reviewed title, War of the Worlds (mentioned with a low score), to argue about whether the 0% is fair.
