Okay, so it isn't exactly very faithful to the novel.
Okay, so the acting is questionable, and the forced love story between the characters Sylvia and Dr. Forrester is not very believable.
So what!
I think that 'The War of the Worlds' deserves a lot of praise, for not only being the first film adaption of the novel after forty-five years since it was first published, but for its great special effects. Although in our stupid world in which the computer dominates the special effects you see on screen, people would label the visuals in this film 'unconvincing', you still have to appreciate this film, which was made in a world where computers couldn't do squat for the film-making industry.
They were all done with miniatures, people!
I don't care what anybody thinks, I still think this is slightly better than Steven Spielberg's remake.
