Directed by my favorite director. Spielberg.

The ending worked in the original novel because it was written well before that type of deus ex machina had already been established in alien invasion movies as a cliché. Unfortunately for Spielberg, you just can't end a story like that anymore, even if you are trying to stay true to the author's vision.

Anyway, I'm not sure why I'm taking the time to scrutinize a hollow blockbuster like War of the Worlds.

Good film. How Dakota Fanning didn't get an Oscar nomination is beyond! Seriously, she looked TERRIFIED throughout the film and made everyone else look bad. There are some weird moments, some gaps in logic etc. but not enough to override what's a really enjoyable film.

I love how dark this was, but as soon as they went down into the cellar this started going bad. Watch the first hour for some serious apocalypse and forget the rest.

The ending is too abrupt and is much too ex-machina. Spielberg's penchant for injecting family drama into even horror shows pops up in inappropriate times; and the character of Robbie is so obnoxious that you'll want to drain his life essence on your own. Even Spielberg's flair for shot composition and sequencing seems labored: it's pretty obvious that the tracking shots are stitched together digitally.

I didn't hate it, but "meh"

I found this one pretty entertaining. Dakota Fanning was incredible.
I'm actually not a big fan of Tom Cruise, but he sure is a really good actor and this is one of the movies where he can show it.

The story was entertaining and gripping. Not among the best movies ever made, but definately worth watching. Some nice effects and scenes and a pretty scary atmosphere.
