after watch the steven spielberg version of war of the world in theater and i be hook on the topic . i could think back to my favorite part in the movie and people get vaporized and people panic and fire and explosion and it be all so great . so a few week later i enter my video store and and i see david michael latt version of war of the world on the shelf . it couldn not have come onto dvd and that fast and could it . i say to myself . i read the back of the case and saw c. thomas howell and instead . oh and i remember him from the outsider . so i thought and it might have be a try . i be wrong and dead wrong . as soon a i watch the opening credit and watch them take forever and i know something be wrong . something be go to disappoint me in this film and it do . the whole movie stunk like a cheese sauce that be leave in the fridge for 10 year . from the acting and the special effect ( stupid look tripod thing and when people get vaporize they turn into orange skeleton ) and and most of all and it do not even come close to be as interesting a the spielberg version and in fact and the plot be boring and and there be only 3 scene of destruction . what the crap . i end up be so bore and that i have to fast forward through the movie until i find something that look even remotely interesting . and nothing be really . my advice represent don not even touch this movie and stay 100 foot away from it . the spielberg version be come out near the end of this month and buy that one . but please and please and i beg of you . stay away from this turd before it smother u all .
