so uhh....worst ending of a movie EVER?

take it up with HG wells...thats how the book ends (they die of plague)

woulda been a little better if they explained it more, or showed it. anything would have been better than whatever the **** it wsa that morgan freeman said.

I believe you can check the book out for free at the library

Good movie, bad ending. My only complaint.

I thought it was pretty clever - how else do you end a movie like that?



Mark

In fact I thought the rest of the movie was lacking a bit, although the special effects were great and being a Speilberg film it was well directed.

I wanted to slap the **** out of his daughter in the film...screetching and refusing to recognize there was more going on (like survival vs. the wholesale slaughter of everyone around her) then her own petty bullshit

I loved that damn movie. Worth my $6.00.

Both me and the woman thought it was good till the end...End = Teh Suk.

I heard the radio broadcast and read some of the book, so I knew what the ending was going to be so I wasn't disappointed at all.

Just like the indians!!! ^.^

Thanks guys I was gonna see it but now I know how it ends.

lmao you guys never saw the old version?!



i sense sarcasum...okay canadian is leaving now.

Yeah I saw the old one and I knew how it ended anyway.

i was pissed when i read the book, but i dont think i will be when i see the movie. i already know it will be lame

Wow. You're the 3rd person to ask that...lol



The tripods had sheilds (the whole reason they couldn't be destroyed) yet once they had a disease they couldn't use them, hence the birds were able to straight up land right on them....

Im actually glad they kept the original HG Wells ending, altho they could have done more to show what was happening (what specifically they could have done? i dont know, but thats why I dont make movies)... the part at the end I really didnt like was how the boy miraculously made it back to his family after supposedly being blown to **** by that explosion... that and the fact that the whole street was untouched in the middle of boston, but out in the country every little house is destroyed and searched.

The curse of the bambino was lifted last year, didn't you know?

damn, must have missed the memo

I still would've slapped the **** out of the little girl and kicked the punk ass son's uh, ass for being so disrespectful

the daughter was tight, she was saying funny stuff at the beginning.



the ending was just horrible, how the hell are you supposed to know what happens to them? if the guy just mentioned our diseases when saying what happened to them it would have been better.

thanks you stupid fucks. now you saved me 8 bucks.

you have a firepower in your avatar i dont feel bad about it.

if your complaining about us ruining the movie, this is a lesson for you. on forums NEVER read a thread about a movie you want to see beacuse the whole thing will be ruined.

Hey you have a point! Good thing you wear a hat to cover it up.

Christ, do you people read?



one of the best si fi books ever written. The ending was good. It was clever.



all Modern theatre go'ers care about anymore is blood and guts. Nobody cares about a GOOD plot, or a good meaning to a movie. It pisses me the **** off

yeah!

The movie has it's ratings for a reason other than the gorey and scarey scenes.



If you paid attention and had the brain of a 12 year old or more you could have easily "Gotten" it. Hell, they had a damn narrator EXPLAIN the ending...

Shawn and Eric. Please change your avatars, I don't know what the **** it is, I am too lazy to look at the avatar, then look at the name of the person posting. ****!

Hahaha, you're just like NoPistons94, you get a new item, and suddenly its the most badassest thing evar, nothing else compares.



Drawing all of that from your avatar, which I shouldn't do. Just keeeeeeeeding. I actually rode in wranglers all weekend, up a mountain...saweet!

Like I said, I can run over a rock and come out unscatched. Guys with FD's will hit a pebble and they instantly jump out and clean the car. I made a good decision in buying the wrangler. I needed something for all year round, and a RX-7 just would not hold up for me.



Plus something with a warranty is great.

Bah! No more excuses, no need to compare apples to oranges. Any sports car (not Fd only) won't be able to jump over rocks. Try and take a remotely tough turn at high speeds! Hey, plan on lowering the jeep? :P They are different beasts, nonetheless! So that arguement is mute! I say own both! You'll get there...



And warranty's are great...if you own a car that breaks (Oh no's! Here comes Phinz!)

Yeah, a powertrain warranty is kind of useless on a 05 Jeep. They are pretty damn bulletproof. And no worries, I will own the Jeep AND another RX-7 one day! Preferably something with some speed this time around, and not as much of an eyesore.
