Good Thing, Bad Thing

I watched Ghandi after 9/11.

good thing: The initial attack explosion sequences. I think they were really well done.

Bad thing: everyones acting and I hate to say it, I think Will Smith was the best of the lot, his acting was sub par, however it wasnt as obvious as say, Bill Pullman, that gay guy(I'm sorry I forget his name), Bill Pullman(he deserves two mentions) and Jeff Goldbloom.

On another note, I had never thought of this as a War of the Worlds story. Just because when I saw it the first time I wasnt really into the whole War of the words thing. It is a different depiction and does do the story justice, however I find it amazing NO ONE has come up with a good ending for the story. I kind of feel the "cold" scenario was the most plausible, but ID4 made that even seem dumb by adding shields to the crafts, making me think aliens would have already thought about infections, just by showing how far advanced the aliens were. For ID4 I think simply nuking the ships while the weapon doors were open would have done the trick and actually would have been plausible, but that is never enough for hollywood. 

Heck They still could have flown into the mother ship and nuked it, and guess what, wouldnt that ruin the entire invasion by itself? no need for a virus the damn mother ship is gone! There I found the answer, wasnt too complicated. Not too mention then Will Smith would be dead, making everyone happy.
