The tripods are wiping out humans as revenge for appearing in this film!

Rating: 2/10 (29 June 2005)

So disappointing. The source material has so much potential and this is just a quickly slammed to together summer blockbuster FX laden mess. The Tripods are remarkable, but they belong in a good movie. Not this one. I think they are wiping out the humans as revenge for appearing in this film.
Where is the mighty battle between the Thunderchild and a war machine? One of the most amazing things in the book was not realized in this film. So sad. Now it will be decades or more before anyone else can take a big budget shot at doing this great book justice. What a pity.
Stay home and read the book. Now there's an idea.
