Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Love sci-fi, love Tom Cruise. Hated the characters of the kids. If you are on the fence about whether to have kids or not. This movie could promote birth control. Especially the teenage son.Otherwise it's a pretty good movie. I've watched it a number of times. I hate the kids every time. Little Dakota does a good job. She's not quite as obnoxious as the son.

The first half of this movie is pretty awesome. Tom Cruise is not perfect for the role of a blue collar dad but he does not do a terrible job in the film. Some of the script is not perfect. But the alien sequences are masterful. The visuals of them destroying the world are underrated Spielberg classics. The final half of the film is not as good the first but maybe one day we'll have an even better War of the World's movie? (PS - if you've never seen the old TV show it's terrifying!)

Ugh. I've read the book a number of times. Seen the original flick a couple times. This? This is painful to watch. Just painful. I don't know what else to say. The whole thing was just set on cruise control. Ugh.

As Earth is invaded by alien tripod fighting machines, one family fights for survival. War of the Worlds is definitely not as good as some other movies of Steven Spielberg but it works thanks to a terrific perfomance by Tom Cruise but also outstanding special effects and lots of suspense that builts quite well. The kids were a bit annoying i'll admit that but they weren't also completely awful especially Dakota Fanning. It's different from it's source material from what i know but it's still pretty good plus Tim Robbins also did a very good job as well. (8/10)
