good movie well done but not up to expectations

User review rating: 0 July 28, 2005

i have to give respect to the acting in this film... the imperfection of Cruise`s family was really shown... one of my few teary-eyed moments was when the boy wanted to see them fight the alien machine... otherwise conceptually it was bad...

Not Very Good At All, You either liked it or you hated it, Plain and simple.

User review rating: 0 July 27, 2005

The movie talked about nothing , just like "the Sign". It promote we should pollute the earth even harder, because it is the only way to save us from Aliens. How ridiculous!!!

hey guys i ahte to break it to you but HGWELLs couldnt think of a decent ending in the origional book so dont b so surprised

Brain-dead monkeys smoking boat loads of crack could have made a better movie. Ending was absolutely terrible...as if they ran out of budget and just rolled the credits after a one-liner.

It was awesome!The sound effects made it seem like you were there.Tom Cruise lit up the screen.

The idea of the movie was excellent, however, the ending leaves much to be desired. It destroys the whole concept of what was built up. This ending does not leave any chance for the audience to anticipate any further contact with the invaders. Just as with the movie Predator, which I think is the best concept of alien invasion yet, the movie seems to just die. I really wish that they had made the human race fight. Perhaps the invaders were made too invincible to leave room for the possibility that there could be a fight. Darn, because until the ending I was really pulling for this one. Effects were great as per the director, but we kne

Not a bad movie! All those bad reviews and word of mouth ALMOST made me not watch the movie @ a theatre. Just do not expect too much from this movie....sit back and enjoy.

Good movie, the ending idea was good, but it ended too suddenly.

User review rating: 0 July 23, 2005

Kl same thing as the original and I think that its a ripoff but besides that great action and good effects. 2 stars out of 5

I thought this movie was just...amazing. I`m not a fan of Si-Fi, but God, this movie had me at the edge of my seat the whole time. Tom Cruise was great, fellow Canadian Justin Chadwick was very good, and little Dakota Fanning blew me away. On the contrary of what SOME people are saying, the was NOTHING bad about this movie. I give it 5 stars. Just amazing. One of my favorite movies of the year.

I hated it. Definatly didn`t make any sence, and the ending just made it worse. None of it made sense, and I definatly WONT be purchasing it when it comes out on DVD.

bad movie

User review rating: 0 July 22, 2005

The movie was great, I never took my eyes off the screen!

User review rating: 0 July 21, 2005

was a terrible movie. The creatures didn`t even seem believable. It was terrible and most will agree. The plot is so pointless.

User review rating: 0 July 21, 2005

Awesome movie! Suspense from beginning to end! For those who gave it a bad review, they obviously dont understand that its from ONE mans perspective. Picture yourself in an alien invasion....who would explain whats happening to you if NOONE knows themselves??? It amazes me how dumb some people are.

User review rating: 0 July 21, 2005

if this movie was set in the victorian era, like at the time hg wells wrote it would have been an awsome movie. and Would have someone else other than tom cruise for lead role.

User review rating: 0 July 21, 2005

Two words, BUNK!!!

A MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT :( It dragged on forever. Wells would be rolling over in his grave. The ending - totally cheap.

User review rating: 0 July 20, 2005

it was an aswome movie, had a good story and you cant forget justin chatwin!!!

User review rating: 0 July 19, 2005

This is a great movie, a true piece of art. The visuals and sound are spectacular. This movie makes you forget that your at the movies, which is what films are supposed to do, make you feel like your in a different world, that`s what great story tellers like Steven Speilberg do. And if your blindly ignoring great work at hand just because of the Tabloids, then you have bigger problems to deal with

For all the Hype in the trailers, it was overall...DISSAPOINTING, Regardles of who was in it. This movie isn`t about the aliens, or people surviving, it`s about a man trying to get his daughter back to her mom. Waste of time. A movie isn`t good just because "Justin is so hot", or "Tom is awesome". I`ll give credit to Justin, he did a better job acting than Tom did, but Dakota was a waste of young talent in this film. Thank goodness I didn`t pay to see it, I only lost my time.. For those who did pay, sorry for your luck.

I thought it was a good movie. Those who didn`t like never saw the original or understood the narration at the beginning and end. Tom Cruise did a great job and he is on my "bad guy" list due to his personal life. Go with an open mind. ld

these people who said that it was garbage, they are garbage it was amazing, they didnt understand what the movie was about. a pretty great movie!!

User review rating: 0 July 18, 2005

I thought this was a great action flick. It swept me along for the story. Forget about all the Tom Cruise garbage and enjoy the film. I agree with most though, the ending was thorougly disappointing. Surprised Spielberg required a "hollywood" ending, deeming it necessa ry to wrap everything up nice and tidy. Would have been better if we were left wondering a few details. Otherwise, enjoy the film!

Don`t be fooled by other reviews - the special effects in this movie were terrible. Basically, go and see Twister, and just add in some aliens - and presto - there you have it. Sci-fi I get, stupidity, I do not. I love a movie where you have to let your imagination run wild, but I had to try and fill in the blanks with this movie, and that I do not like. The best thing I can say for it is that we went to a matinee, so at least the ticket price was less. We left the theatres wishing we had time to see another movie, just so we wouldn`t go home feeling let down.

DO NOT SEE THIS WASTE OF FILM AND TIME!!! Its basically a pathetic Cruise Vs. Aliens with his annoying screaming kid. DON"T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS!!! Ur gonna Thank me!

User review rating: 0 July 17, 2005

I was disappointed with the movie, expected a lot more. The original war of the worlds movie surpassed this trashy remake. The story line was too thin and far fetched for me. I was unable to even warm up to any of the charactors let alone sympathise with them. This is a dog.

User review rating: 0 July 17, 2005

I was disappointed in the story for the old one was so good.Tom Cruise is a fine actor as the other, and the special effects but it still lost what the story was all about.

i thought it was great

User review rating: 0 July 16, 2005

I thought the movie was great. People who didn`t like it obviously don`t know a good movie when they see one. The special effects (including the sounds) were awesome. A little bit of a different stroy line than the original (as far as the characters were concerned) but Steven Speilberg did a great job as did the actors.

User review rating: 0 July 16, 2005

the movie was plain garbage, the popcorn was the best of the night

User review rating: 0 July 15, 2005

Sure it had some slow parts but overall very exiting and definetly entertaining 4 stars

User review rating: 0 July 15, 2005

The special effects were really good which is usual for Steven Speiberg.It got long in some parts but unfortunatly the ending was sudden.It is worth seeing in the theatres.

User review rating: 0 July 15, 2005

what a let down I was expecting alot better then that, what a waste of time and money.

User review rating: 0 July 15, 2005

It was very good. Not a total remake of the original, but it had a good storyline. Needless to say, the special effects were right on. Tom & Dakota really made the movie; the martians were added for us Si-fi fans. Who are these people that gave this movie 1 star? If you don`t like fiction, stick with reality...

User review rating: 0 July 15, 2005

Subtle realism - stunning & brutal impact. It was masterpiece of special effects. Spielberg at his best. Those who miss the point of this movie need to see it again.
