The adaptation in question is the Ice Cube-starring War of the Worlds, released by Universal Pictures just last week, which has now officially received a Tomatometer rating on Rotten Tomatoes alongside highly unfavorable reviews from critics.

The War of the Worlds would make its next notable mark on cinema in 2005, with Steven Spielberg adapting it and Tom Cruise starring. The movie would go on to become one of, if not the most divisive works by Spielberg,

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