Negative Positive
Title: Very Ambitious
Review: After the recent release of Spielberg's version, I decided to read the original book by H.G. Wells. This movie apparently was made by purists who wanted to apply the book directly to the screen.Overly ambitious for the budget, the movie is somewhere between bad and artsy. It is in dire need of an editor. Having the same actor play the narrator AND his brother is a bit strange, and made comical by the cheap prop mustache. The special effects are archaic.It is, however, a must for a collector on War of the Worlds items.
Is the review positive or negative?
