War of the Worlds second teaser

[Wombat]

It's kinda weird.

The first trailer interested me.

The second one had me yawning and going, "Oh, it's just Spielberg and emotional manipulation again." This is a very rare case where the second trailer actually made me less interested in seeing the film. **sigh** I guess I am not the target audience for it.

But it ain't Spielberg's usual "emotional manipulation...

Am I the only one that thinks Tom Cruise would make a perfect Marvin the Martian?

I'm really looking forward to the musical version.

I think its still too early to judge how close this is to the book. Its updated to the current time, so that's a change in itself(and one that doesn't both me), but beyond that the trailers haven't given us much to go on.

I'm basing that on some of the other information that has slipped out so far...

The aliens aren't from Mars for one.

That is a bit...odd...care to elaborate on that or is that all you've got?

Spielberg stated as much himself, but did not clarify further.

I am more interested in the period version being done by Pendragon Studios.

The Auld Grump

Me too!

Cool Visuals and sound effects

If nothing else the teaser trailer illustrated some decent visual and sound effects. I like the way this heading. I'm really concerned about the ending, however. The last few sci-fi movies I've seen had bad endings, IMHO.

Spielberg stated as much himself, but did not clarify further.

Spoiler

so the aliens won't be affected by human germs?

That could be a good thing, since that ending is somewhat anti-climatic.

That ending is given a little something extra by the way it's presented in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Volume 2.

And its kind of been done in movie terms already in ID4. Though I still like the little twist on how the humans win in WotW, so I hope its at least similar.
