Revisiting the time machine, I feel that there are a lot of slots

Time flies to 2017, and now I revisit the movie I watched fifteen years ago, and I remember the original book I read more than 20 years ago. The original book was written a hundred years ago. In elementary school, apart from reading comics, I also read some science fiction novels under the influence of a certain classmate. Although they are more esoteric and obscure, I have continued to read them, including Wells' Battle of the Martian, Invisible Man, etc. My favorite is still A time machine, because time travel is the most fascinating thing to do.
There are a lot of complaints about this movie. The adaptation of the first half is a bit new. Although the description in the second half is the story of the original, I always feel that the scene does not have the feeling of 800,000 years later. The future people are not the kind of naive dwarfs, and He can also speak English, and the film is like the male protagonist traveling to an African tribe to help defeat another tribe by the way. It's more like saying it's a thousand years from now.
The behind-the-scenes BOSS knew that the male protagonist was a passenger and did not embarrass him, nor did he intend to kill him. He patiently explained the social status and general principles to him, and then returned the machine to him and let him go. You must know that this is a time machine. Who doesn't want to keep it for himself, he can play in any era without being bored in this hole. It can be seen how unselfish the white-haired BOSS is. As a result, the male protagonist suddenly attacked and beat others very unkindly, and even killed them.
In the end, the setting of using the time machine to kill all the underground people can't be justified. When the machine is turned on, the machine does not disappear, and the people around it can be weathered. It's too unscientific.
The so-called inability to change the performance in the past movies means that the death of a person cannot be changed, but in fact, going back to the past has already produced a paradox, and it can only produce a parallel universe. How can there be such a fate as death?
When the protagonist and the BOSS fought, they went to the future in the machine. Those primitive people who were caught, including the woman, must have been eaten for so many years, and then the protagonist came back here to save them. Can't it change the death of people? Isn't this a contradiction.
The more classic place in the movie is to show the rapid changes in the vicissitudes of life, and the performance of the same place at different times at the end. The librarian setting is a highlight.
In the original work, the male protagonist went back once to tell everyone about the time travel, and he disappeared on the second trip. In the movie, he didn't go back directly, he disappeared in the world, and the people around him didn't even know that he invented the time machine.
