Wonderboyo you were right

this film should be avoided. We are only putting money into movie moguls to provide trash with a few good special effects chucked in.

War of the Worlds review by Wonderboyo
A stinker

I heard it was bad but I was prepared to give it a chance. After all, directed by Spielberg, starring Cruise it can't be that bad. I approached it with an open mind but it was truely awful and very irritating to watch. I didn't want to stop half way through so I persevered but couldn't wait for it to end. I would encourage you to avoid.

War of the Worlds review by Tony, Birmingham
The chances of anything coming from Mars.....

Hmmm what can I say about Spielbergs treatment of H.G.Well's classic novel?
The transplanting of the story to the present day, was I suppose inevitable but why move it to America for the location? And why change the character from a journalist to a man who works on the docks?
Now don't get me wrong, I liked this film and it looked stunning when it came to the visual effects, but parts didn't quite gell for me.
Which is a shame as the last 2 Tom Cruise films I saw were more than just okay. And again he proves that he can act but..heck I just don't know, something was missing from this movie.
I'm glad that Spielberg didn't make it a gung ho, save the world from the alien threat with a gun toting, muscle bound hero but....I dunno perhaps the soap opera elements between his family could have been down played and a little more action?
And the ending seemed rather rushed too me. I've seen better from Spielberg but I've seen worse.
Maybe one day someone will give us the proper tale or an adaptation of Jeff Wayne's musical version
and not what in the end, is an updated remake of the 60's original. Okay but lacking in parts.

I enjoyed this movie, although it was nothing like the book. It was exciting and scary with family conflict and alien terror. Good visuial effects. The cellar scene was quite harrowing.

Still don’t like tom cruise but good film.

I gave this film a shot as I really wasn’t interested in going to see it at the cinema. When it started I thought I would be bored but it is actually good considering tom cruise is in it.
