Well, it was alright. Forget the storyline - It is pretty good for a horror movie, which this movie assuredly is. I give it a 10 for horror, right up there with Jaws.

 

I found it a very sobering movie. Though it was a surprise that the whole thing was only 2 hours long... Must be a Spielberg first! :P

I am surprised by some people not liking it.

Well, it wasn't extremely fantastic...

 

It was okay, but it was just plain weird. Though... am I the only one who found the aliens rather... cute?

How about that part where the alien is sucking up the people? didn't that look like something.

omg i loved this movie. was shaking at some point lol... hu thinks the aliens are cute? i reckon... i wanna give em a great big :kiss:

Yes! They're very cute, but... I wouldn't kiss them, I don't think...

Geez, I was expecting more, but the movie didn't turn out 'that' good, so i'd give it a 7/10 :dozey:

Like WHAT?? :huh:

Use your imagination.

:stunned:

my mother??

:stunned:

just saw it

ace movie man :cool:

baaah!! awful movie!" i didn't like it

:stunned:

you have to admit, the effects were pretty damn good!

^Yeah but the story was pure shit. :dozey:

well u would have to blame h.g. wells for that... but i thought it was all good...

Hah, no the movie had the potential to be good, that extra terrestrial stuff... well the director totally screwed it with the LACK of ARGUMENTS and the STEREOTIPYCAL model of the American hero in Tom Cruise, even was so funny how hardly they tried to put cheap sentimentality on it.

 

So empty, not even the effects make worth the money wasted. :dozey:

well it was never going to be a movie to challenge the brain cells was it?

it did what it said on the tin really, it was a good movie to just enjoy for a couple of hours. nothing more!

I like it. Very good movie.

But the aliens could win. I mean. Just to change.

:P

Well since I spended some food and two cinema tickets on it I consider it a waste.

 

However from what I know movies were supposed to bring joy with a good story, anyway the war of the worlds didn't.

i saw it last week..and i have to tell you that i laugh a lot...

laugh, why?

ooh...because every time i go to watch a movie with my cousin we laugh about everything! (yes we are very good friends, so we laugh a lot ) but it wasnt bad .i liked it...but i thought it was a bit long :)

I didn't read all of the posts (too many pages, not enough time :lol: ), but I simply have to say that "War of the Worlds" is a HORRIBLE movie, I absolutely HATED it, it's stupid and has no sense and Tom Cruise says about 2 intelligent sentences in it.. Everything else is just screaming and crying - "Roobbiiieee" - and it's a shame that Steven Spielberg was the director! Making such a crap movie isn't typical for Spielberg.

 

And I have to agree to *andrea* - I laughed a lot, too! Each time Tom Cruise tries to look sad and desperate, it simply looks funny :lol:
