Yep that's why the book was better than the 2006 version.BrynThomas said:Well...bernthalbob616 said:That, and why the fuck did the Tripods start breaking down? Well, ok, I know why but...Birras said:Agreed. Also, an additional thing that made me angry in the ending of the 2006 version isCurtmiester said:Anyone see the ending to War of the Worlds? If not, don't.
the fact that the teenager survived! He was caught in a fucking explosion, and even if he survived that, he would be caught face-to-face with a giant death machine! I mean, we've established that the tripods take very few prisoners, and the few they take are likely experimented on/killed in a non-descript fashion! He should be a charred corpse, vaporized dust, a bloodless husk or a dead anal probe victim.
it's an enormous plot-hole! The aliens develop machines that shoot disintegration rays and nearly take over the earth, but they can't make protective suits? WTF is up with that?
In the book the fact that aliens weren't adapted to human microbes played out very well in the last couple of chapters, in the film it unfortunately seemed like a random deuce ex macchina.
That said, in the original book the tripods aren't that powerful compared to a modern day army, they have an invisible heat ray and deadly poison gas. But artillery fire destroys a couple, its just that they use tactics and that its set at around the start of the 20th century. One of the best parts is when an old school warship named "Thunderchild" fights and destroys several before going down.
Had they fought a modern or even ww2 era army they would have been easily matched. They had to make them more powerful to have a chance in the movie.
I didn't think the first one was that bad, it was the sequels that screwed it.MK Tha Rebel said:The Matrix Movies. Any of them.
And that wasn't even the original ending. All the camcorder footage was added later. Originally it ended after they got on the boat.Gado911 said:Dawn of the Dead 2006
ALL OF THAT FOR NOTHING!!!???
Sadly... I. concur...Tatsumaru626 said:The biggest BullShit ending for me was the ending to "Alone in the Dark", because it didn't come two hours earlier!
Another for a different reason was "the Dark Knight". This was easily the best movie made in the past ten years and ends amazingly and then I remember that Heath Ledger is dead and that there can't be(or at least very unlikly(but I'm still hopful)) another Batman movie this INCREDIBLE.
that is also one of the worst ways to tie a plot together... hate those endings.. but there are some exception to the rule... the old classic movies... wizard of oz for example...TheOnceandFutureKing said:any movie that does the "it was all a dream" route, or any deviation of it.
