You must be stupid to hate this film

Rating: 8/10 (30 July 2005)

War of the Worlds:
GOOD: (1). Dramatic action and realistic sound and elements of destruction bring this exceptional film to life (2). Mind-chewing visuals of the Martians at work make absolutely sure you don't take your eyes off the screen (3). The advent and climax of the film remains loyal to the flawless novel and you will feel completely satisfied and entertained
BAD: (1). Unless you have read H.G. Wells' novel, it will be difficult to follow the behavior and features of the Martians and the film (2). The introduction is very balanced and smart, but the ending may make you laugh incredulously (3). If you are interested in piercing, ground-breaking story lines, there isn't any here
