The movie has been universally panned by critics as a poor adaptation of the original novel and a feature-length advertisement for Amazon.

Upon hearing the new War of the Worlds adaptation received a rare 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, was your first thought, “I had no idea there was a new War of the Worlds movie coming out”? I thought so.

War of the Worlds' may have a zero-percent Rotten Tomatoes score, but it's secured itself a place in Amazon's top streaming charts.
