Query: This "War" is A Slight Disappointment...

David Michael Latt's adaptation of H.G. Wells' "War of the Worlds" is a letdown compared to the other film adaptations out there. Good storytelling with great acting from C. Thomas Howell and others is compromised by the cliched (and what has become a dreadfully overused element) of graphic violence and gore used in typical "horror" films. The DVD has some good extras, but nothing to praise. I would only recommend this adaptation of Wells' sci-fi/horror classic to fans of those horror films I have mentioned above, and also to fans of Howell's work.Movie/DVD Grade: B-
