Having placed machines under the ground hundreds of years before a town or city was built, why wouldnt you have just conquered earth back then? Why wait those hundreds of years when you'll have to "fight" for it. I can understand that maybe the population wasnt enough to grow the weeds, but why let it grow to such an extent that you come down and end up killing 60%+ of them.
Yeah, I questioned that too. In the book Wells just has the tripods and the aliens in them come down all at once.

The only thing I can figure is that the aliens weren't ready to make an assault yet, when they buried them. "They've been planning this for a million years"
yet they didnt take into account disease...

Just watched it tonight, i wanted to smack the shit outta that fucking kid 5 minutes into it. It was the usual part 10 year olds play in these kinda movies, scream a lot, and be a pain in the ass. Besides that it was pretty good.

i'm not reading any of this thread in case of spoilers but news on Fantastic Four is out:

"The really good superhero movies, like Superman, Spider-Man 2 and Batman Begins, leave Fantastic Four so far behind the movie should almost be ashamed to show itself in the same theatres.

It's all set-up and demonstration, and naming and discussing and demonstrating, and it never gets on to telling a compelling story.

Sure, there's a nice sequence where 'The Thing' keeps a fire truck from falling off a bridge.

But you see one fire truck saved from falling off a bridge, you've seen them all.

The Fantastic Four are, in short, underwhelming."
