War of the Turkeys

War of the Worlds, the blockbuster of the summer .. or so I thought. Despite having Spielberg at the helm, I was strangely unmoved, and irritated by huge gaps in the plot that you could have driven one of thr tripods through. And as for the ending: made the whole film laughable (not HG's ending, by the way, the happy-clappy family conclusion).

For me, it was up there with Alexander and Troy as contenders for the award for "biggest promotion, biggest turkey".
