Too good = bad.

From James Lileks:
Quote:
I cannot recommend the restored version of War of the Worlds. Yes, it’s a great 50s creature-feature, my favorite next to “Them” - and yes, the print is bright and almost creamy. Yes, the final destruction of LA looks better than ever, and the abrupt ending with its explicit religiosity still makes it seem as if the Martians were vanquished by the invisible agents of Episcopalianism. But the restoration is so good I noticed something I’d never seen before: the wires that hold up the spaceships. I mean, THERE THEY ARE. WIRES. You can’t miss them.
