It doesn't sound like a good movie, too much Tom Cruise.
It also sounds like Tom's career is tanking!
Hillary Clinton thanks you for your contribution to her upcoming presidential campaign.
I took my family to see WotW today and we all agreed it was one of the most amazing, astounding, intense, and frightening movies we'd ever seen.
The film conveys better than any other what it would be like to actually experience an alien invasion. There are few heroics of any kind, mostly just fear, mayhem, and inhumanity.
I recommend it to anyone who enjoys the alien attack genre or anyone who just wants an extremely heart pounding experience.
Saw the movie this afternoon. I thought for the action it was worth seeing. Not a great movie, but worth a large popcorn and a box of goobers.
I loved the first movie and have read most of HG wells work. His books are very Dated and reads more of a scientist recording events but i love how he incorporated the era's scientific knowledge and extrapolated as to how the Martians technology worked.
The first movie was great and did not need to be remade, even the effects for the time hold up fairly well.
I am just thankful Ben Affleck is not in it and do plan on seeing it though maybe not until DVD
WTF is right! Are you serious?! Geez, nothing like ripping the original story to shreds.
Peter Jackson...paging Peter Jackson! Pick up the white phone, please.
Just came back from seeing it. I thought it was great....a mix of old fashioned family values with spine-tingling special effects. Spielberg has succeeded despite the few odd moments of dullness. It's a pity plenty of people never read H.G.Wells. My daughter, for one,was disappointed with the ending because she was waiting for human ingenuity to kill off the aliens. Bad bacteria is still an unvanquished enemy.As for Tom Cruise...he did alright. I expected less from him. I give it a 9.
I saw it tonight. I liked it, but I'm not all that picky about movies. I didn't notice that the buildings remained standing, though. It seemed like all the buildings were destroyed in the long shots I saw.
