He mention that he had not seen the original War Of The World and so did not have the original story with him, unlike me who just could not let go of the original in my head. It's too bad cause the new version was not truly bad but I just wasn't able to enjoy it. My friend just keep giving me a hard time over it cause he loved it and he also love the original. It's usualy not about the movie being bad, you must have seen some of my other posts in other thread I can defend or love some movies that many will just find terrible.

I am affraid that with this new Earth Stood Still, I might once again not be able to enjoy it cause the original is such a big part of my childhood. They sure don't stack up FX wise but they just can't replace the nostalgia of the original one, I guess that's the best way to explain it. That is why I am thinking I will probably not see it in the theater, just wait for it to be on TMN.

Excellent point of view. I saw your reasons as very logical. I, too, am waiting to see the 'new' version, but the origional is quite possibly my favorite of all movies. So I must put aside my feelings about that and go to the theater with a clear and open mind. (I hope!)
