Title: And I thought that the remake of War of the Worlds was bad...
Review: Some of the most appealing qualities of the original were completely downplayed by this remake, which preferred to focus on FX rather than the process through Klatuu realizes how complex and conflicted us earthlings are. Realizing that our potential for destruction was matched by an even bigger potential for doing good ultimately motivates him to sacrifice his own life in order to give us another chance. Not that these aspect don't exist in the new version, I just do feel that making this more of an action movie with loads of special effects was higher in the producers priority list.And the fact that we don't get to hear Klatuu Barada Niktu, is just the last nail in the coffin.
Is the review positive or negative?
