i agree, this movie sucked ass, nothing special about it, same old crap

All of this is dreadful news to me. I really wanted to see this movie, because I read the book. The thing I'm hearing the most is "The movie was absolutely awesome, nearly perfect and beautiful, but the ending SUCKED."

I hate it when a great movie has a horrible ending. What's the point of making the whole movie if you're gonna ruin it with a half-assed ending.

thank you captain obvious; however, you still didn't answer DJ Buddha's questions

Well how many things does the book have incommon with the movie anyway? I only saw the preview so ill save my bashing of the movie for after ive seen it but judging from the prewies things dont look that good.

Gah its I robot all over again, great book, terrible movie with no connection to the book at all.

i loved the movie. im going to see it again. i hate when people listen to others opinions about movies and dont go see it and judge it based on their liking. pisses the fuck out of me. and good luck watching the movie on 17 inches of monitor with 640x320 resolution. unless you find a rip from the studio or something. tom cruise did a great job acting.

i did...very entertaining, but the ending was like laughable...hahaha


the part where they get to boston...i was like, "oh COME ON!"



man that Dakota Fanning is an amazing actress...it's crazy how good she is at such a young age...and boy is she gonna be a little hottie when she grows up.

Yea she is a VERY good actress, and it pissed me off how so many huge cities were demolished and little ol' boston is fine. and they are inside their homes drinking their cups of tea in red sox mugs*not like they were but probably*. thats the only thing i didnt like. the ending made me MAD.

Ok, there are too many people to quote for this response. But for everyone who's already written, the movie wasn't supposed to be based on H.G Wells' book. It was a remake of the classic War of the Worlds movie from like the fifties, which in turn, was an adaptation of Orson Welles' radio program. Welles took the basic idea of Wells' book, but completely turned it around on itself. For instance, the scientific analysis presented at points in the book was of no interest to Welles, who instead decided to focus on the human interest stories, etc, as well as more mass-confusion as to what the things were/why they were here/how many there were/etc.
