War of the Worlds is my favourite book... EVER. I've read it countless times and it still scares me. When I heard about this adaption by Timothy Hines at the same time I found that Spielberg was making an updated version I kinda remained loyal. Despite the hype that this was gonna be a s**t film I wanted to see an adaption of the original book. I visited the web site and saw the picture of the war machine in the flames and thought "They must all be wrong. It looks good"... I then managed to blag a copy for about 50p ($0.25) from ebay and thought Hoorrah. I got about 45 minutes into the film and turned it off. I thought I could sit through the poor effects and concentrate on the story but no. Sadly this film is a mockery of the original book and I advise all who read this review not to see the film. Go see the Spielberg one, at least the effects look good if the story is pants
