Early on in the movie I was worried that this would be a real bomb. The film was saved later on by some impressive special effects with Martians that looked nothing like the laughable ones in the original classic. The portrayal of the world from a child's perspective was lost - and this greatly diminished the film's worth. Overall I found the film to be worth watching. I even gave it a "7" -- perhaps generously given some of the other reviews here.
