I may be the first to say but i personally thought the movie was terrible. Spielbergs worst film IMO.
There was action, yes, but there was no real story behind it. I was very disappointed. |
are you saying that the acclaimed novelist from the 1800's-1900's H.G. Wells can't write a good novel and that his books have no story/plot??? |

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. |

| 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 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. |

| 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. |

| Oh, and I thought it was very good, though fell apart if you poked too hard at it. Most notably, where did the news van come from, and why was it in working condition, as well as how was their van spared the destruction outside? |
