This could of been so much better

Rating: 3/10 (28 July 2005)

The aliens where to the book as I expected and the special effects are great, but the American patriotism and the anti-europe comments got on my tits especially when, the aliens first appeared and the son goes "I heard it was terrorists from Europe" then later on one of the surviving people says "Why does this only happen to us, I heard nothing happening to Europe". What is is about the Americans who think only bad things happen to them?, and the ending why is Boston a safe haven from the aliens? and how stupid are people who can't figure out the ending even when Morgan Freeman explains to them in a voice over that it's bacteria that kills them!. I read one comment from some-one thinking that it was sunlight that killed them! Could of been so much better why could'nt of been set in Victorian England like the book?
