The review is on there under Barry Yamaha, and is for the original release.

Makes no difference. We've seen too many fake reviews and names to just yawn at the whole pathectic affair. Eating a little humbel and apologising for lying to us just isn't style is it? Or how about a simple:

"Mistakes were made. I over reacted and lashed out at the wrong people. I maybe shoudl take time to reflect on this and hope the fans can appriciate that at least I tried. I may have not been entierly honest and for that I apologise, I can only hope that one day the fans can find it in them selves to be as humble to accept my apology and move on."

It never ocne occured to you to do that did it? No, uh uh. You reap what you sow, and if you lie and continue to compond it with more lies, you get what you deserve.

This is the latest review for the dvd over on 'Amazon', classic ;D ;D ;D

LMAO!! Thanks muchly for passing along a very entertaining read, JeffWayneFan! As has been stated before, Hines' -shells- shills are nearly as inept as his movie-making.

What is left to say about this remarkable film ? Make no mistake, Director Tim Hines is a very special talent.

If this means "special" in the sense of "special education" and "special olympics", then I agree Hines is very "special" indeed.

I should imagine Spielberg himself has probably praised this film to his friends in private.

But only on April Fools' Day.

I should also think that the Master H.G Wells would have been very happy with this accurate portrayal of his classic novel.

I guess it's just a rumor, then, that the body in Wells' grave is spinning with such force that it could provide England, Wales and Scotland with all electricity needs for the foreseeable future.

The FX department at Pendragon deserve a mention for the terrifying martians. The martian machines ''rolling motion'' that Wells describes is accurately reproduced throughout the film.

Funny, I don't remember Wells describing the tripods as sailing across the landscape as though they were skating on a frozen pond...

I was shocked to the root of my soul when the martians first appeared from the cylinder. But I knew without even seeing the invaders that that they were going to be shocking by the expressions on the faces of the talented cast, they looked utterly disgusted when standing on the edge of the pit.

That wasn't acting. They were given an advance look at the CGI of the film's Martians, then asked if they thought it was done well.

Throughout the film the tension continues at a very steady pace which was enough to keep me on the edge of my seat.

Call Guiness! This must be a world's record for feeling suspense.

The wonderful finale where our hero, Anthony Piana, seems almost crazed with joy at the strange death of the martians must surely reflect the relief at the massive effort that he put into his triumphant role.

Not to mention the massive effort this "reviewer" put into creating such a tortured sentence.

I know it makes no difference. I was pointing out to 'balance' (lol) where the review is.

[Ashe Raven]

fair does

"Balance" in this films case is a very subjective term

[glow=Purple,2,300]Well, it's been out a month - has anyone seen this third version yet?

I do have the original, but I never got the Directors Cut (as those who saw it just said it had been trimmed down). I'm interested to know what the differences are in this new "classic" edition.[/glow]
