War of The Worlds!!!

To answer your question, no, I haven't seen it. But I have seen many previews for it and have caught Tom Cruise's latest antics on Saturday reruns of Best Week Ever!
After minutes of thoughtful contemplation, I'm sad to say, that the results of this valiant effort of movie production seem to be in vain. It's just that I doubt it will have the cruicial "roll up your sleeves masculinity" of the original adapted radioplay by Orson Wells.(Notices his sleeves?) Nor will it have the quaint, English charm of the debutante's ball of heartthrob and memories that was the original book by H. G. Wells. (I've never read any book by an English author. But, I have read the spark-notes to Wuthering Heights, and have listened to The Doors, who named themselves after a book by some english dude. So I'm guessing all English novels are a close approximation).

From what I remember from the original movie, the moral of the story is... That disease can be a good thing, and the military is a bunch of moronic assholes destined to die in an orgy of green blobs and horizontal heat waves that look like a sprinkle head shooting out red water. That and to never underestimate the power of the ingenuitive, attractive, white, mid thirties year old man living in 1950's America. Every last god damn one of 'em mother fuckers was like a mini-Mcguyver!

Mcguyverism, cold war fear tactics, and withholding vaccination are some of my primary values, but this movie lacks the hard-line masculinity of the orginal movie, and lacks a A-typical protagonist name Cathy, I'm giving this my most average rating yet, a 0/5.
