If you’re either a fan of Jasmine Valentine content or have a subscription to Prime Video, you’ll have seen how truly terrible the new adaptation of War of the Worlds is. In fact, it’s now so terrible that it’s earned an official critic score of 0% on Rotten Tomatoes (and frankly, I wish I’d had a hand in that). In a nutshell, it involves Ice Cube sitting at a computer for almost 90 straight minutes, watching YouTube clips of alien destruction while trying to save the world by ordering products from Amazon to take them down.
The subtext suggests the online retailing giant is the true villain, but if you ask me, anyone who put the new movie on without knowing what they were getting into deserves compensation. As my favorite of the scathing Rotten Tomatoes reviews (by Adam Does Movies) puts it: “I really don't like how a lot of modern reviewers say outlandish statements like ‘this is the worst movie ever made. Mainly because it devalues films like War of the Worlds, who had to work really hard to actually be one of the worst movies ever made.”
