Frankly I can't stand Dakota Fanning.

In War Of The Worlds she was at her insufferable best.

The audience was yelling "they're in the basement" where I saw it.

War of the Worlds was insufferable: Tom Cruise, the storyline, everything!

Little known fact. The director had to dig a trench for Tom Cruise to walk in for certain scenes while playing opposite Fanning. The same was done for Alan Ladd playing opposite Jean Arthur in Shane.

This girl is a prodigy. She's homeschooled, learned to read at age 2, and used to act out scenes shortly thereafter. She has co-starred with powerhouse actors such as Cruise, Denzel Washington, and Robert DeNiro. She's the 2nd coming of Jodie Foster, IMO.

Generally, I'd agree with you. Like most of today's child actors, her performances are totally unbelievable as an actual child in the real world. However, she was quite good in Dreamer.

I haven't see the newer "War of the Worlds" because it's got that Tom Cruise guy in it.
