"Just a kinetic illustration of the novel. But I am happy to settle for that. This faithful adaptation of the Wells is a film that will appeal to only a narrow audience."

"There are several pieces of vulgar language in the film that some viewers might find objectionable. I found them neither objectionable nor particularly funny. In fact, that sums up how I felt about the entire film."
