War of the worlds Review

submitted on 04th Jun 2006. A part of Movies. add new movie review

written by owen

Its been a long time since I have seen a movie with a more stupidly annoying set of characters. I mean every single person in the movie requires a swift kick in the nuts in order to communicate. I did not watch the series so I don't how the characters in that were acted. There is a little girl in the movie that is allegic to peanut butter and is afraid of terrorists, the son is crazy, the father is crazy and everybody they meet in the movie is a head case. The movie has some intense scenes through even if the story is sketchy. "Do you have room?" So yeah there are some pretty good scenes but for the most part the characters get themselves into some very odd "lifetime movie" situations. Its worth the watch though, even if you just want to stick your hand into the television and choke the actors to death. I give it a 7 out of 10. Good science fiction movie but with annoying character acting. "There is room for a 100 more!"

Read the book, it's better. Did you see "The Time Machine"? That was also an adaptation of a book by the same author, H. G. Wells. He's a good writer and shouldn't have to have his work be interpreted by such shoddy actors. From the get-go I was not going to see this film--why? They changed the background of the lead character and made him a dead-beat dad. The guy in the book is a rich bachelor staying with a friend who is a family man. Totally different level of motivation. The guy in the book is free to observe the creatures and speak objectively about the citizens of England running away from them. The guy in the movie has a distraction--his kid.

Yeah, The Time Machine was very bad as well. I think any movie adaption in the hands of american directors is bad. Do you know this french movie called Le Femme Nikita? well they "adapted" that one as well

Re La Femme Nikita
Actually, I loved "The Point of No Return". LOVED LOVED LOVED it.
Maybe I should not watch La Femme Nikita. It might ruin my experience.

@GC watch the orginal, the way the director actually intended the character to be portrayed. It depends on the reason why you loved it though. did you like it because Bridget Fonda was a over emotional wuss?

She was not an over-emotional wuss. She was an over-emotional badass.
