Was Awesome!

Rating: 10/10 (28 June 2005)

I just got back from seeing this film. Despite Dakota Fanning's supremely annoying performance as "Constantly screaming at very high decibels girl" I thought it was awesome. It was true to the spirit of H.G. Wells classic story, while at the same time modernizing it quite a bit. Yes there are holes, but the entire film being based on a hokey early 20th century alien invasion storyline will do that to a film.
It's very fun to watch, had spectacular explosions (always important) and lots of death and mayhem and property damage so severe I would advice any insurance company agents to steer clear of the film as the mere thought of the accumulated damage would send him or her into instant cardiac arrest. The film would have been better if instead of Dakota Fanning they had oh I don't know..say Devon Aoki...
