Great,Great,Great Entertainment Movie

Rating: 8/10 (4 August 2005)

I'm a Portuguese big fan of Steven Spielberg since ever - his first movie I remember was "Jaws". Since then, I always try to go to the theaters and never loose his "big hits". About the latest one, "War of the Worlds", what a great entertainment movie!!! It's almost 2 hours of pure amusement, "suspense"; you have to be (perfectly) tied to the chair, or else you would jump of it, every minute. Tom Cruise is very fine, with a difficult character, a tortured and concerned father, which aim is protecting, at all costs, his son and daughter, saving them from the aliens and their big death machines.Dakota Fanning is not anymore, "just" a surprise - she is a confirmation of the new values of the world cinema - she is a pure talent - she gives us the perfect emotions and feelings that are necessary to get into her character - in the movie, she is wonderful, amazing, terrific(and so one, and so one...!!!).Steven Spielberg: please, continue to be the best director of all the times and continue to give us excellent movies, helping us to keep enjoying and going to the theaters. Let me give a piece of advice - go to the cinema; don't let this art getting sick;don't give up on it. From Portugal, a big hug for everyone.
