War of the Worlds
Well, I take back what I said yesterday, this was one of the worst films i've seen this year! I really did expect it to be a good film, particularly with Spielberg directing etc.
But it was shocking! I can't really remember the original film so I've got nothing to compare it against, but me and Stu both said the same, it had absolutely no story! I've never seen a film with such a lack of depth or detail. Nothing was explained, e.g. what the red weeds were - They just appeared and nothing was said either way about them. I won't say much more incase anyone's not seen (although i'd say don't bother!) Everything in the film was just left hanging or ended all of a sudden like it had been cut short. They didn't even bloody explain how the son miraculously survived! It was only just over an hour and a half long and it seemed to us like half the film was missing. If that was quite stictly based on the book, as I thought I heard it was, then i've lost all respect for H G Wells!
I'm just annoyed. I wanted that to be a class film and I wish I hadn't wasted 4 quid on it now.
