i love movie and and i will watch any movie all the way through and just to give it a chance . i can finally say that i find a movie i can not watch all the way through . the acting be terribly stale and monotone and the cgi look like a computer geek do it in his mother basement with minimal software and and . the long scene of just . walk . and this movie be three hour long . i do not even make it 15 minute until i fast forward the dvd . the scene with the alien be very short . ummm and instead of name this war of the world and let name this war of the walking long distance . this cost 5 million dollar to make . what they spend the money on and the dramatic opening song . oh and but on a positive note and one scene you need to watch be when the alien first begin kill people . that hilarious and not because people be die and but because when they turn to skeleton and they still squirm for 20 second afterward . so . like i say and if you be a fan of boring and stale and action less movie and here be one for you dvd collection . but i do not write this for you and i write this for the billion upon billion of other people who will hate this movie . it be not worth your time or moneyi know this be by the book and but the book isn not that long and and i be a complete book worm or nerd or geek or whatever and but why . just get the steven spielberg version and it not all that good and but it 10 time good than this . i give this a big and fat zero out of 10 .
