Don't compare to the original & You'll love it

Rating: 9/10 (14 October 2006)

The Original Wars Of the Worlds was a classic & one of the best films ever made BUT it did go very far away from H G Well's original story line.This WOTWs returns to those roots.
It's very rare i like Tom's acting but i found him brilliant in this - A normal everyday "tough guy" who in the end is reduced to tears which i believe would happen in real life to anyone who has to see what he does.
I didn't mind the whole movie being based just around him but i would of liked to of seen more of the Army's Fight back against the Aliens.
In All - I liked it a lot , but more story would had made it a 10/10 I find it wrong that it should be compared to the 1950's version - Watch it with a fresh open mind & make your own mind up..
