Re: The War Of The Worlds
It was totally pants, the whole thing was a lesson on how screw up an adaptation of a classic story.
I don't think anyone has managed to do it justice ever. The definitive version remains the musical version!
Episode 1 was slow, and just seemed to be a outlet to show how pretty the lead actress could look (if you like redheads).
Episode 2 the tripods where actually quite good, I liked the way they moved. There was no further explanation of why the smoke killed them. No Thunderchild. Artilleryman Superfluous.
Episode 3 not just Ep3 but the time jumping forward and back didn't do anything to enhance the story. The aliens didn't look good.
it was just not good, I think budget constraints may have affected it.
