A good example of a less than great "classic". The Spielberg movie did it justice; i.e. it was bad. I suppose what retained it in mind is the image of the tripods and heat-rays from Mars. Are some classics subjective, or simply overrated? Moby Dick has that reputation. I haven't read it. Too long and boring
