Despite the movie's 2% Rotten Tomatoes score (and making the review aggregator's list of the worst movies of all time) the producer of Ice Cube's new War of the Worlds adaptation has defended the film and said the studio "intended to make a good movie."

"No one sets out to make a bad movie. Period. Ever. No one rolls out of bed to go work for 12, 14, 16 hours a day, sometimes, 6, 7 days a week in our case, to make a bad anything." producer Patrick Aiello told Toni's Film Club.

Unlike Netflix, however, Amazon doesn't release its streaming viewership figures, so we may not ever know how War of the Worlds ranks – although we're sure the negative publicity has prompted plenty of hate-watches.
