war of the worlds

why am i not excited about this movie at ALL? i really do NOT like tom cruise, but i LOVE steven spielberg, i LOVE dakota fanning, i LOVE sci-fi, i LOVE david koepp and i LOVE h.g.wells and his other literary masterpieces including: "the time machine", "the invisible man" AND "the island of dr. moreau". so why do i have NO love for this flick??? could it be that they are desecrating the entire point of why the original book was written in the first place! if anyone out there has seen the trailer for it (click the title link) and has any other insight into this, feel free to share!

as a side note, if you are interested in reading any of those three novels that i mentioned above, or the original version of the war of the worlds just click on the links... i connected them to their entire online novels... they are all great.
