I think that was GOOD actually

Rating: 9/10 (30 June 2005)

OK ill agree with the problem with the magic working camera, but i think that this was certainly a GREAT adaptation of the book. The original story is still there, if updated slightly. Spielberg has made a very good film overall, which had me nervous during the edgy bits and i actually held my breath at times - some good acting and directing there. I say well done that director :D Despite at least ONE unexplained plot line (Robbie) it was a well constructed story, while still keeping H.G. Well's original ideas. It was also interesting to see a different heat ray type lol - disintegration - bit yucky from one point of view :S Well done Spielberg - he could easily have messed this up, but he got it nailed perfectly :D
