War of the Worlds

Saw this movie tonight. I consider myself thoroughly entertained.

Very exciting movie. Very edge of the seat, paced well. I've never read the book but I've listened to the Jeff Wayne album a few times (oh I'm so literate) and the plot seemed to follow the same lines, albeit condensed for a more compact cinematic experience.

Very too-good-to-be-believable-in-any-way-whatsoever ending. But not a long enough ending to steal the thunder from the rest of the movie.

I think I might go and see it again.

Didn't like any of the movies, but I'm a huge fan of the actual radio play. It was one of the biggest motivators for my own playwriting. I just loved the technique and just...oh there's so much about it that was just so unique and great and amazing. It's playwriting at it's best, that's for sure.

I'm so critical of movies, when I saw this coming out, I was not impressed with anything about it. I'm not a fan of Tom Cruise in the least, and Spielberg's not moved mountains for me in ages. Then again, I'm someone who believes that Hollywood is overproducing films and the market is simply way too saturated in junk that a good film is hard to find. It's not much of a surprise to me that Hollywood is in a slump.

Man, do I ever digress...*shoves sock in mouth*

In short, the new film is shite and I prefer the orignal because at least in the orignal, you actually see other nations having the same problem but in the new one all you see is America getting attacked and I was nitpicking through the bloody film. Parts of it was alright but it didn't have the horror or excitment that I was expecting.
