Exactly.
Today's movie standards seem to require a hero that saves the day in the end of the movie. That was not the case in War of the Worlds, and that may be why folks feel the ending was such a letdown.

Of course, you're right. We all want that heroic everyman to stand up and save us... or maybe a robot from the future.
The essence of the original story cannot be regained, since it was so tied in with the blossoming of the Machine Age and the arrogance of man.
