The martians should have killed the family

Rating: 2/10 (2 April 2012)

In these types of movies it is a good idea if the main characters are likable so that the viewer can want them to survive until the end.
Well Spielberg decided that was not going to be the case with this movie.
Robbie the son is at the top of the list of most needs to die. When he is not arguing for no reason he is behaving like a spoiled brat.
Rachel the screaming daughter. Aside from screaming, whinging, whining, and yelling the only thing she managed to do was to give the Martians a reason to hate humans
Ray the dad - remember these rules of how to survive a horror movie 58) Your dog can take care of itself... 59) So can your spouse... 60) And your kids. or really you should have saved yourself the time, hassle and child support and shot the kids as soon as the martians arrived or even left them in your home to get blown up. In the Spielberg sequel remember to cap them in the first 5 minutes to make your life easier.
