Things I liked, things I hated

Rating: 3/10 (15 February 2008)

OK, let's just jump in.
Things I liked:

CGI was great. And that's about it really.

Things I hated:
-Acting was just plain awful. You would have expected more from Tim Robbins and Dakota Fanning. But nothing. It was just screaming and wooden acting.
-The story is ridiculous. Did retards do the screenplay? I swear, it is just cheesy, from start to finish, they don't keep track of the plot, they set up ridiculous scenes. Coupled with the acting, this is horrible.
-Tom Cruise. OK, I just hate him, but here he was just bad. Anhd he was the leading man. And I guess that really killed this movie,which I guess a lot of people wanted to see because of the Cruise-Spielberg pairing.
-The ending. first the movie had no pace. It just ran for the first 20 min, and then it just ran out of steam. Then it died, in the most ridiculous ending I ever saw in a movie. What kills the Martians? Bacteria. Yes, they get sick when they get to Earth. Are they serious? A race of advanced aliens couldn't find a way to inoculate themselves from native bacteria. Again, screenplay written by retards,or people with the IQ of a thawed pea. Conclusion: I expected more from Spielberg. The guy who brought us Schindler's List, Jurrassic Parc and Minority Report(which wasn't all that great, but a good effort) should have done a lot better than this. So, don't watch it. It is awful. I guess the guy who came up with Xenu must have written the screenplay. At any rate, I gave it a 3 because of the CGI, nothing else.
