I just got back from it... OMG how the hell did they get away with making that?! It was crap, utter crap! I really only like the special effects, wich were alright.
First off the story. It barely followed the book. Only parts that followed the book, where the very beginning with the guy talking about the martians. The part in the basement with the crazy guy, wich it didn't even follow the book all that well. And the end with the guy talking about the martians being doomed. The guy didn't have his children with him in the book, and he wasn't trying to get anyone anywhere except himself to safety.
Next the characters. OMG what the hell were they thinking with the children?! I swaer the little girl needed a freaking hearing aid. And Robey. What the hell? Why would you want to see a bunch of soldiers get killed by a giant robot that's most likely gonna kill you too? And when they were seperated how did he get to his grandma's house?! Also with the Dad he's a freaking moron who can't control his bratty kids.
The special effects. Ok there are a couple things I have too say about this. First when the little girl saw the bodies in the river... did anyone else notice the bodies were moving atleast twice as fast as the current? And the church, when the steeple fell off the church, it just looked weird, like it was falling too fast to look real or something.
My final rating: 4/10
Well I think that's it remind me if I forgot anything.

Maybe they weren't following the book and striking out on their own using the story as a basis.

Where in the hell do you live..? I just moved to Cheyenne Wyoming on June 17th. But I'm sure it'd be the same way if I still lived in Denver.

MetroidMaster..You're an idiot....
Just because a movie is based on a book..does not mean that it, in any way, has to follow the main plot...
I'll even give you a great example...The Movie "O' Brother Where Art Thou?" is based off the book "The Odyssey"..So, you see, sometimes books just give an idea for the movie...not the entire script

No Matter how hard you try though.You can never replace Orson welles voice for the radio show, he was in the first war of the worlds movie.One of the greatest actors in the last oh ever since film was done,but it would be interesting to see if the messed it up, or if they did a good job with the remake of war of the worlds.That is what it is a remake.There was a movie war of the worlds in the 50's i think maybe 60's.
