Spielberg has seen the last of my money 'til he stops using CGE and a big name as a magnet for it. He ignored Wells' story (hell, any story) almost totally, let his writers create completely obnoxious characters that made you cheer for the Martians, let the cast walk through it, then drenched everything in blood; I guess to impress eleven year olds. Two empty hours. The ease of using CGE has apparently ruined science fiction as a movie genre. A stinkeroo in spades.
Follow Ups:
One of VERY FEW somewhat recent films to not overuse CGE, and done fairly well when they used it. Can't wait for X3. Sci fi is now like watching a video game on screen with a live actor walking in front of it.
namely, the ending.Sometimes ya just can't win.

PS Orson Welles substantially deviated from H.G. Wells too, by the way.
And the worse thing, agreed, is the computer animation. Anyone that can suspend belief watching those things... well, give me competent modeling, any day.

I thought that one worked pretty well. LOVED the green sandwich scene.
