This film was made...Why

Rating: 1/10 (15 July 2005)

What can I say but "what a pile of pants".I had my doubts about this film,then saw a trailer and thought they might pull it off.But they completely changed the setting and the feel of the whole thing. The effects were good,Dakota Fanning was the best actor in the whole film and even then I wanted the tripods to get her for being SO irritating. If you want to see a version that doesn't make you want to gouge your eyes out and wonder how you wasted a couple of hours of your life stick to the 1953 version,or listen to the Jeff Wayne CD. I went with a group of 7, no one liked it, 1 said he'd been put off Spielberg films for life. A note to film makers if ain't broke don't fix it.This film was made why?
