so I saw this yesterday. it was amusing to watch but raised quite some questions once the movie was done. the ending was a bit...I dunno....stupid? the only thing that really bugged was the constant screaming of that little girl. *AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH* that really pissed me off at times. but she acted pretty good though. it's just a movie I guess. |

the ending? what was it, let me know, i am not going to see this anway |
||||||||

the film is good but speilberg dug too big a hole for himself and therefore the ending is extremely far fetched. An whole army couldn't kill 1 alien thing but 1 grenade from tom cruise killed all of them. |

not quite that really |

I dunno, it just seems a bit unlikely. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it also didn't fit with the rest of the movie I believe. |
||||||||
|

The whole movie is kind of unlikely but the ending makes sence imo. |

the noise those tripods made was dirty. reminded me of a track off 26 mixes for cash... |

The ending didn't seem unlikely to me at all, seemed very logical... and that was the problem, it didn't make for an exciting resolution at all! I liked the movie, it was well made but pretty underwhelming stuff for a Spielberg blockbuster. Had some cool set pieces and images (the city panic/slaughter, the tripods in the field) but I didn't really get immersed and the bad guys weren't all that impressive, they lost steam after the first vaporization scene. Tom Cruise is still a stud though. |

I was laughing at the people on IMDB who didn't understand the ending and (SPOILER) thought the birds did it. I went down for a cigarette break and was chatting to my mate about it and a dumb-as-fuck bint said exactly the same thing. I mean, the end narrative explains what happens, it's obvious as fuck anyway, I'd love to see what they made of Mulholland Drive or summat. |

I didn't like it. Speilberg's style does nothing for me... actually, it does do something for me, it aggrivates the piss out of me. |

although i think it's an ok movie (just like pop music can be ok....CAN), i've got one big complaint about the story. the story would have been much more convincing if the aliens would have had an actual strategy (instead of just chasing random humans). a supposedly superior race of aliens wouldn't just chase every human it sees. cooomooonnnnn come to think of it, it was a pretty pathetic movie |

It's based on H.G.Wells novel "The War of the Worlds" This is how they thought about it way back. He was a visionary, but always a practical visionary. He viewed every problem in it's universal aspect, yet ultimately from the standpoint of the plain untethered man whose champion he was. Abroad as well as at home, he was recognised as one of the greatest minds of the century, or as Anatole France styled him, "the greatest intellectual force in the English-speaking world". Spielberg misquote the author imo. |

thx for the info, Aesthetics but still, Spielberg should have updated the story a bit |

Indeed. Have you heard the musical version of it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good film |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
nope. are you talking about the original radio-transmission, or the soundtrack? |
||||||||
|
|

my favorite part was when tom cruise stuck grenades into the alien's protruding butthole. |
||||||||

I'm talking about Jeff Wayne's musical version of The War of the Worlds. I have it on vinyl and I love it! |

i thought it was cool as fuck but the reason the ending doesn't fit or make sense is because of the rest of the movie being about aliens and machines and destroying the world it was awesome almost the entire planet is gone but not her mom in boston... wtf?! and here comes johnny at the same time... right. and they got force fields so the reason we were able to win was cuz he grabbed the grenades before they caught him and so it was smart he let that thing grab him cuz now he was past the force fields. that and like disease and sickness and virus' infected the aliens. |

Decent movie, but it should have been M rated with more gore and gruesomeness. Also, Ogilvy should have been a manic, narcoleptic pedophile with a drug problem. Would've made the whole basement thing a lot more interesting. Yes. |

the plot didn't hold together at all...a tiny bit better than "the aliens are allergic to water" but not by much. |
||||||||
|
|

the tripod scenes reminded me of half life 2, ok! |

i quite enjoyed this film, well the first half of it. it started it gentle down hill stroll down the proverbial hill when the audience was privy to the actual aliens interacting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i didn't enjoy this film at all... the tripods were cool though... and seeing them from a distance causing havoc was pretty scary... but the movie sucked. |

one of the basic rules of new releases is, if tom cruise is the star - its a stinker. |
