Original V 2005 version, I know which one I prefer and its older than me

Rating: 1/10 (8 July 2005)

After all the hype, we could not wait to see this movie, booked the best seats and got the popcorn and drinks and then watched the film, we should have seen anything else BUT "War of the Worlds" To say the "original" was better is an understatement; this was a typical Hollywood remake, all hype and razzmatazz, with no substance or depth, that you would have expected with the Stars involved, at one point I thought Tom was going to sing "We are of to see the Wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz" after he comes out of the basement, the sets were that poor. Disappointing, disappointing and disappointing, watch this film if you have nothing better to do.
