I enjoyed this movie a lot. However I didn`t like the last too much.

This movie gives the old song "It`s raining men" a whole new meaning.

Speilberg should stick to kids stories.. oh wait, he did. This is supposed to be a HORROR movie. "Mars Attacks" by Tim Burton had more scary scenes! Nah, this movie is about a crappy father who has to spend a rough weekend with his kids. And, Shame on Speilberg for casually dressing this movie with 9/11 visuals.

Excellent, excellent, excellent. Loved it. Would pay to see it again in the theatre. Highly recommend.

Although it`s anyone`s guess whether the Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes thing was just a publicity ploy, I`d advise Cruise`s PR rep to milk that puppy for all it`s worth - `cause that`s the only thing that can sell this piece of @!^$#. The special effects were incredible. But the storyline was lame, the ending (if one can call it that) was totally incongruent with the plot, and the only half-decent actor Dakota Fanning was stuck screeching the whole time. How`m I supposed to get my 2 hours back?

This movie was EXTREMELY disappointing. Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning, and Justin Chatwin`s performance were terrible and the story leaves you asking MANY questions! This movie is a rental. DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE. PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY!

Waste of money, waste of time, waste of intelligence.

I thought that this movie in general was pretty good. The story line was relative to the book and I thought that both Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning really portrayed their characters really well. Both of them are really talented actors/actresses and you can really see it in the movie. The special effects were really good, and the suspense was well presented throughout the entire film. The only downfall in the movie like everyone said was the ending, it was sort of unclear and it seemed like it ended disruptly. Overall it was a descent movie with the good acting and the special effects. Max 4 Stars.

Special effects were OK but plot and acting was not up to expectations. It would be better as a direct to cable movie.

User review rating: 0 July 01, 2005

Nice one. Tom Curise`s performance was 5 stars. Not to mention the nice work done by Steven Spielberg and Dreamworks. Story-wise it was supreme until the second-half. Above all I like it cuz I saw it with a girl that I like. Haha. Happy Canada Day, everyone!

good beginning but rather dumb through the rest could have been better

Another movie that prooves Cruise and Speilberg are a good team. It`s got amazing special effects and sound. My favourite scene was when you first see one of the big machines come out of the ground and it starts shooting everyone with it`s laser beam! All the people who say the ending sucks are crazy. The ending is great and it goes well with the story. And did anyone else notice Morgan Freeman as the narrator at the beggining and end?

Why are people giving this movie only 1 star??? This is a 4 and a half or 5 star movie!!! This movie and star wars are the blockbusters of the summer,and both are a must see.

User review rating: 0 July 01, 2005

I thought that this movie was the best one all year. i just can`t understand the low star rating :S. Anyway i encourage you to see this because it is worth every penny

User review rating: 0 July 01, 2005

i expect more from Spielberg, this movie is let dowm but not completely bad and it also had good staff.

User review rating: 0 July 01, 2005

The mixing of world destruction and personal familial problems were bound to make a bad recipe. Spielberg should have stay more in tune to the `53 version and stay focused on the main story. Still, the special effects are top notch. When the action start, you can only be feel as if you were there but unfortunatly those are cooled down melo-dramatical mumbo jumbo.

User review rating: 0 July 01, 2005

Watch it in big theatres. It`s like being there. It`s 9-11/saving private ryan/schindler`s list/titanic disaster all combined into one horrific experience. Intense. Disturbing. I don`t want to be alive when this event actually happens.

User review rating: 0 July 01, 2005

And movie execs are wondering why there is a decline in viewership. Continue spewing garbage like this sorry excuse for a movie, they`ll prlly have to mortgage the hollywood sign to make another one. It should be a crime to charge $9.50 to peddle garbage like this!

User review rating: 0 July 01, 2005

I don`t know why the movie studios think they can put out a piece of garbage just because Tom Cruise is in it. Great effects, so-so actor, and a stupid plot with a bad ending that didn`t explain anything.

User review rating: 0 July 01, 2005

The special effect`s were very good, but the use of the camera made the movie the second worst movie I have seen this year,the 1968 ( I think it was 68 might have been 67) remake of the war of the worlds was a far better movie than what I had watched on the 30 of June 2005. I was so board and feed up with getting sick with the camea work that I walked out twice in the movie, the first time to go and get a refill on my soda, the second time to go get some candy. If you have never read or watched and older movie of "War Of the Worlds" you would more than likely enjoy this movie, but if you have seen it before or listen to the real tape`s

User review rating: 0 July 01, 2005

This movie ie spectacular. Very entertaining and a true sci-fi movie. People rating these kind of movies bad, stop acting like you`re an academy award critic, stop looking for flaws, open your mind and just enjoy. Spielberg always sets the bar when it comes to excellence. War of the Worlds is a must-see.

fantastic!

A good movie for the 4 of July for the Americans, poor story , dead ending...did they run out of ideas in the second half ? Thats about all that needs to be said about this movie. Speilberg can`t win them all.

User review rating: 0 July 01, 2005

Ok..first off..anybody seen the first movie or read the book. ok..like..hellllooooo....pppeoooppppleee!!! There wasn`t much plot to begin with. what..no interplanetary relationship?..oh my! The special effects were amazing. Spielberg did a great job on creating suspense in the scenes. Sure it did drop off in the end, but that`s the point, if you were listenninnngg!!! The time flies by quick while watching. I would say 4 stars for this one.

User review rating: 0 July 01, 2005

I was looking foward to the movie but on the whole I was disapointed ,the fx`s were good but the story was weak and if I have to listen to Dakota Fanning scream one more time I will happily give myself to the martians,batman and star wars were by far better movies

User review rating: 0 July 01, 2005

5 stars. i was expecting tom cruise to be like some macho man, like he is in all of his movies, a perfect dad, a perfect man basically. but they actually made him realistic, a not very good dad, and not a really good personality. he was a real life middle aged divorced man. acting was superb. loved the plot.

User review rating: 0 July 01, 2005

this movie was very good, amazing. very good special effects, amazing acting (surprisingly), and really scary plot. kudos to steven spielberg. however some places were weak, but what you gonna do when you build such a huge plot. e.g. the ending was pretty weird and sudden, but after some thinking and discussion it made sense, however they could have made it a bit stronger.

you gotta see this movie!!!! AMAZING!!

Yoda level Masterful. You felt within 10 minutes you were in the movie... and it did not let you go until the end. The true horror of this event was communicated perfectly - you could feel it and have empathy for the people - not many films can do this. Truly intense - you are right there. Parents ... NO kiddies - save on shrink`s bills. Very well done. 5/5. The ending was abrupt - could have used another 1/2 hour to finish it right - but the ending was believable.
