There is no way in HELL his son could have survived. That was absolute bullshit.

In the basement with the crazy guy, why did he go into the room unarmed (where did the shotgun go) when the crazy guy has a shovel?

What in the hell was the purpose of spraying our blood everywhere? Anything? Why in the world did those "tripods" shoot some people and eat others? And did I see like, bloody roots growing? Wtf was that? Someone that read the book must know this.

I really wanted the little girl to get dusted. That would have made the movie 1000% better. She was alright in other movies, but man...

The scene where the son should have died was absolutley retarded. "I HAVE TO SEE THIS!!" What in the world? Why? You already know you can't hit them retard.

I have read the book, many years ago, so some of this may not be right.

Be aware that the book was written in 1898, so Hollywood tried to modernize a lot of it.
Spoiler:
The aliens did not have the machines buried underground in the book, the shot them over from mars in canister like objects, the had not been to earth before. The sequence of events in the movie doesn't make any sense: They buried machines over here before we existed so that they could come back over here and fight us for the world?!

Yeah, the son should have died, but they wanted the movie to end on a happy note.

Think about why in the hell he was killing the guy in the first place. TO STOP HIM FROM MAKING SO MUCH NOISE! What would a shotgun blast have done?

Supposedly the blood was a fertilizer for the red stuff, the crazy guy said it. They weren't "eating" them, they were collecting them, carrying them to an appropriate spot, removing them from cage, pinning them to the ground and, well, you saw the rest. They vaporized some people because they didn't need everyone for this purpose. As I recall, they did not do this in the book, they just planted the red stuff and let it grow.

The red plant was brought over from mars, it was H.G. Wells' explination for why mars appeared red(1898, no rover expeditions or satelite photos). They were terraforming the earth to be like a more hospitable mars.

Oh, and as to the little girl screaming to much, the world was being destroyed , people were dying, she has no idea what is going on, what do you expect a little girl to do? Should she have started skipping?
