Default Re: War of the Worlds

I haven't read the comments, but I've heard a couple people bitch about the ending -

it's not as bad as Independance Day (let's write a virus on an Apple for an alien computer code and inject it onto the master computer and start blowing these things apart ONLY when they open up their big guns to fire)

Truth is, it's actually pretty faithful to the spirit of the book - people don't understand that this isn't a movie about conflict like ID4, it's like those movies where the storm or tornado comes and all you can do is try to survive it - it's not about combat, it's a story of survival - some folks don't like that...

I only had one little beef with it, but I don't wanna spoil it - (ok, what the hell) - the idea that the tripods have been buried for yrs. was stupid - they should have just let them land like normal.
