War of the Worlds

I really didn't like it very much!

Why not?

Eire.

First, I must say that I don't like this kind of movie so much but I found it as a déjà-vu!

It's not so original and I found some scenes debating (is this the right word?): for exemple, the one in which the baby sees the bodies in the river: isn't true that, when the ET shot, they disintegrated the people? Moreover, here in Italy, Tom Cruise had a beautiful voice, so ****, since 80s. In t

I also liked this movie. It is exciting and Spielberg does manage to keep tension throughout the film. BUT there were some things which annoyed me.

It was weird when they hid in the basement and the aliens, seeking human beings, looked into their shelter with a snakelike ehhh... stuff and didn’t spot them. Their seeking tool wasn’t able to hear and sense or anything else?

I completely agree with U and I also know that it's a remake of an older movie, isn't it?

The older movie won an Oscar for the best special effects, but that was back in 1953.

I know some things from Spielberg's film may appear strange in our society, but H. G. Wells wrote the novel in 1898! I've seen both movies and I want to read the book as well. I think it is going to be very very good!!!

Eire.

P.S. I'm not from Ireland but I'm related to it in a sense.

And in 1938 a radio broadcast was made by Orson Welles. It caused huge panic in the US.

It's true it's a very old story. Spielberg changed many things, compared to the original book, which made this film acceptable in the 21 century either. But he was supposed to consider some things e.g. the well-dressed family at the door, the aliens' snakelike seeking-tool.

You appear to have read the book. Is it worth reading?

Which part of Ireland are you planning to go?

Eire.

No, I haven’t read the book but I know the story. However, I’m sure it’s worth reading! In my opinion, if a book is screened, usually the original book is far better then the movie. e.g. Harry Potter or The Lord of the Rings, I like the films made from these stories but I consider the books much more exciting and better then the movies. I think it’s true in the case of The War of the Worlds as wel

Thanks for your opinion.

I worked in Dublin for two months and then I stayed some time in Galway. That was marvellous! If I had been to Galway before than Dublin, I would have gone to work there! It's surprisingly beautiful and people are so lovely! Good decission!

Eire.
