Is Amazon's War of the Worlds the worst movie ever made?

Featured Replies

My son is trying to get me to watch this movie. Not because it is good, but because of how bad it is. 

It has a whopping 2% on Rotten Tomatoes, and it's worse than it looks. Even the one positive review describes it as "certainly stupid."

Even the audience Tomatometer, at 21%, the low number doesn't quite capture it, until you actually read the reviews. This is from a five-star audience review: "Ice Cube's War of The Worlds is a cinematic marvel-not in the traditional sense, but in that rare, awe-inspiring category of films so catastrophically misfired that they loop back around into a brand-new form of entertainment. It's less of a movie and more of an experience, something you endure with a mix of disbelief, laughter, and reluctant admiration for how boldly wrong every choice seems to be."

This is one of those cases where I'm glad others watched it, so that I don't have to.

Wasn't it shot during Covid and shelved? I want to wait until Master Pancake or Rifftrax does a send up of it. 

I read the books as a kid and randomly stumbled on this - not knowing what was. It's pretty terrible.  Probably the worst adaptation and this book series has a long history of bad adaptations.

Fire in the Sky.

No way your entry is worser than that terrible pile of shit.

That wasn’t a terrible movie. The Travis Walton alien abduction one?

yeah.  That one.

Welp, I've never done drugs, but it was absolutely what I thought they might be like.

You should do drugs.

The notion is growing on me... for right now I just watch the Astros medical staff.

and I'll say straight up-  I trust you. :)

Couple of buddies have dibs on the MJ, should it ever be legalized, but as I get older, the less I'm worried about a little technicality like that.  For another thread...LOL.

LOL.  Because I don't indulge in recreational drug use beyond alcohol?  Nice assessment.

Endless Love

The Toy

Jaws 4

Some movie Kate Jackson is in where her husband turns gay. 

Someone around here thinks Fight Club is the worst movie ever made. That's always been one of my favorite all-time message board takes. 

Blues Brothers 2000 is always a solid answer. A terrible, unwatchable movie its own right that shits all over a classic, and Belushi.

Fuck you, this was a classic of the 80s.

It sucked. It sucked big time. 

That's probably because you're a pinko. 

I tried to watch it when it came out and made it about an hour before I had to turn it off. It’s not only bad, the way it’s shot is headache inducing.

same,  I got about an hour into in until the predictable "hero's kids force the hero to do dumbshit to try and save them"
