Nothing Like The Book.

Rating: 3/10 (1 July 2005)

Well just got back from seeing it and..
What the hell!!!!! Sorry but gotta say great special effects, but why oh why do these directors take a story that works great as an original story then totally change it and make film of it.
When you talk about war of the worlds everyone knows about the green flare from mars, what do we get in the film, oh they have been underground for millions of years.yeah.er.OK.
And what was the lightening thing about !!!!!
Oh they came down with the lightening, that must have been shocking for them, but just how did they get into the atmosphere?
And the Martiansthis is from the book.
"A big greyish rounded bulk, the size, perhaps, of a bear, was rising slowly and painfully out of the cylinder. As it bulged up and caught the light, it glistened like wet leather. Two large dark-coloured eyes were regarding me steadfastly. The mass that framed them, the head of the thing, was rounded, and had, one might say, a face. There was a mouth under the eyes, the lipless brim of which quivered and panted, and dropped saliva. The whole creature heaved and pulsated convulsively. A lank tentacular appendage gripped the edge of the cylinder, another swayed in the air."
What do we geta bloody prop from Independence Day arrrrrrgggggggg.
Great film if was an original story but as it stands sorry, big disappointment, this is the second film this year that has let me down the other was the hitch hikers guide to the galaxy, again nothing like the book.
