War of the Worlds

Rating: 10/10 (30 June 2005)

I think this movie was great. There were many funny parts to the movie, especially Tom Cruise, he made the movie have good humor. I liked how the brother Robbie and the sister Rachel really bonded well together. They played good brother and sister roles. I thought it was really stupid how Ray and Rachel got captured in the creature. They portrayed Rachel as being smart and then they had her run outside. I was really surprised at the end to see Robbie because he probably would have died. Everybody probably would have died, in fact. I also noticed that after the first storm the cars were dead and the mechanic had to replace something in order for it to work again. So, after the second storm, at the mom's house, wouldn't he have to replace that same part again because it probably would be dead again? That was just something I noticed. There wasn't much interaction with others, it was just the 3 of them running around trying to survive. Overall, I really enjoyed the movie and thought it was something worth seeing. I definitely recommend it.
