Beyond the famous robots in Star Wars and Terminator, many other movie robots are truly memorable. A robot’s appeal can come from its look, what it can do, its story, or how it influenced filmmaking. For this list, we’re focusing on robots with a physical body that allows them to move around – so we’re excluding purely artificial intelligences like HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Now, here’s our ranking, starting with the least cool and moving up to the coolest.

I have to say, I was really surprised by Copshop. Critics loved it – it scored an amazing 82% on Rotten Tomatoes and everyone praised the acting – but it totally flopped in theaters. It only made around $2.3 million its opening weekend domestically, and ended up with just $6.7 million worldwide. Apparently, it came out at a really busy time for movies, and got lost in the shuffle. But then something incredible happened! Once it hit streaming and VOD, it took off. It quickly gained a huge, devoted fanbase, and now, honestly, I think it’s become a modern cult classic. It just proves that a really good thriller can find its audience, even if it doesn’t explode at the box office.

Captain America is a determined hero, always following his own strong moral compass, even if it means disagreeing with others – even other superheroes. He’s faced off against a wide range of powerful beings, from mutants to gods, and his shield has always helped him prevail.

I’ve been playing games for years, and I always hear about this company from Osaka. They’ve actually been around since the early 80s – can you believe it? They originally started out as Capsule Computers, way back when gaming was really taking off.

James Van Der Beek’s wife, Kimberley, announced his death on social media, sharing that he passed away peacefully this morning. She described his final days as being marked by courage, faith, and grace. She indicated that they will share more about his wishes and values later, but for now, the family asks for privacy as they mourn the loss of their husband, father, son, brother, and friend.

Watching Superman compete in DC K.O. has been fascinating. The tournament forces contestants to fight with the same ruthlessness as Darkseid, which clashes with Superman’s inherently good nature. However, like the other fighters, he’s been pushed to his limits. I initially thought DC might be building towards Superman becoming the tournament’s ultimate champion, King Omega, and transforming him into something more powerful. But recent events suggest a much darker outcome for the Man of Steel, and it all stems from his most iconic foe.

The latest promotional materials for Project Hail Mary continue to show why the film could be something truly remarkable. However, the final trailer sparked some debate. Unlike earlier previews that only offered glimpses of Rocky, the alien Ryland befriends, the new trailer focuses on him more directly, giving audiences a clearer picture of his role. While some viewers might have preferred to learn more about Rocky during the movie, Amazon made the correct choice by showcasing him now.

The second season of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End will continue its story, shifting focus back to Frieren after recently exploring the relationship between Stark and Fern. Episode 5 will introduce a long-lost dwarf and reveal an outstanding debt Frieren has unknowingly accumulated over the past 80 years. Check out preview images from the upcoming episode below.

James Tynion IV has proven his ability to build successful shared universes, most notably with the ‘Slaughterverse,’ which began with the comic book series Something Is Killing the Children. This world features real monsters and skilled hunters like Erica Slaughter, who work for a hidden organization called the Order of St. George. The story’s popularity led to a deal with Blumhouse Productions to create both a live-action movie and an animated show, with Tynion IV closely involved in the adaptation process. He’s staying on as a lead writer to make sure the show captures the same intense atmosphere and careful storytelling as the original comic. However, the Slaughterverse is just one of several universes Tynion has created that could potentially become a high-quality television series.

Dealing with cheaters is incredibly frustrating, especially for players who are affected. Reporting them doesn’t always lead to quick action. It’s also difficult for developers because it’s hard to tell the difference between genuine cheaters and skilled players. To fix the cheating problem in ARC Raiders, the developers need to focus more closely on those who are consistently exploiting the game.
