War of the Worlds (2005 Video)
3/10
bad writing seems to be this films downfall.

Warning: Spoilers
spoilers This is not worthy to have been associated with that of H.G. Wells' piece of literature. I was not that big of a fan of this summer's Steven Spielberg version, but compared to this it just seems as good as any cinema classic.

The characters feel very bland and vacant. The very little depth that is given is one of this greatest flaws. Also as the hero of the story continues to walk around his side companions during this world disaster just seem to disappear them selves. they introduce new characters very suddenly leaving you to guess what just happened to his other friend he was with. The special effects are not that bad, although it is somewhat recognizable that its green/blue screen, for a made for television film the effects are not bad quality. The writing just doesn't seem to allow the actors to show us their full acting abilities. The words are so shallow and two dimensional that you somewhat lose respect for whatever actors have participated within the film. The actors seemed to have had potential, all of them did, it was writers that gave them very common phrases that we've heard over and over in cinema, and we get weary of it.
