the movie is just plain awful

Rating: 1/10 (12 October 2005)

i only paid 4 bucks to see this movie and it was not worth it. i went with three other people when it was at a local theater and all four of us wished we had not wasted the money to see war of the worlds. i like a lot of spielberg movies and usually his movies are enjoyable. when the movie starts it looks like it will be halfway decent, but the movie never picks up. within the first five minutes it just falls apart and from there it was more like torture to watch tom cruise's character is just horrible to watch, the plot of the movie is impossible to understand, the end of the movie just does not make any sense at all, the sound for the alien rays is just horrible to understand, and the movie just jumps around a lot.
