the classic war of the world by timothy hines be a very entertaining film that obviously go to great effort and length to faithfully recreate h. g. well classic book . mr. hines succeed in do so . i and and those who watch his film with me and appreciate the fact that it be not the standard and predictable hollywood fare that come out every year and e. g. the spielberg version with tom cruise that have only the slight resemblance to the book . obviously and everyone look for different thing in a movie . those who envision themselves a amateur critic look only to criticize everything they can . others rate a movie on more important base and like be entertain and which be why most people never agree with the critic . we enjoy the effort mr. hines put into be faithful to h. g. well classic novel and and we find it to be very entertaining . this make it easy to overlook what the critic perceive to be it shortcoming .
