Not worth seeing not worth buying

Rating: 3/10 (23 December 2005)

This is without a dought the worst movie that has been based off the book "The War of the Worlds" that I have ever seen. Not only dose it betray the book but also the original movie made in the 50's which I think is much better dew to its plausible relationship with the book than this 2 hours worth of rubbish called a movie. The plot of the story is terrible the only thing that it has incomen with the book is that it has aliens in it and even they don't look like the ones described in the book also where the heck is the dialogue all the actors do is stare blankly at some one or at the floor and when there is dialogue it's simply a scream or 'Dad what's going on what are you doing' its like watching grass grow which seems to me far more enjoyable then this bag of air which by the end you find your self hating the characters especially the nagging no dialog character Dakota Fanning plays but also the characters father(played by Tom Cruise)who is to weak gutted to kill the people who tried to kill his kids. I understand that it can be hard to make a movie but they could have followed the book more closely then this lose fitting and a shamble of a movie they could of at least had the part where the war ship Thunderchild was destroyed while holding off the alien's so a boat full of people could escape to safety but no they just through together 2 hours of rubbish and called it The war of the worlds. The producers, writers and the director should team up and kick each other because they would have to be daffy to leave out such good material what the heck where they thinking. But hey I'm going to giving the movie the good end of the stick and will say see it for your self and make up your own mind but I think you will think after watching this movie that itis not worth seeing and not worth buying.
