Review of Earth vs. the Flying Saucers

It's kind of depressing to see, hey, the earth creatures are winning when they develop magnetic rays to shoot the saucers down so that they destroy the Washington Monument and the Capitol building, plus almost every other landmark in Washington, DC. It just seems they're really battling against themselves. Then Hugh and Carol (Joan Taylor) are celebrating this "victory" on the beach with almost the entire nation destroyed. It's kind of obvious the script was written for using the special effects more often than logical cohesion. The reason for attacking the earth wasn't too clear, oh, the satellites orbiting were a sign of the earth creatures invading a galaxy millions of miles away, sure. I just missed hearing some kind of moral statement used in other films like it, i.e The Day the Earth Stood Still, War of the Worlds, etc. The main characters were a bit witty and unsympathetic.
