May be the worse Spielberg movie made

Rating: 6/10 (2 April 2020)

Spielberg is Spielberg. He's one of the greatest Directors in film history, but I think he's reached the threshold of his career and it shows starting with War of the Worlds.
Don't get me wrong. You have all your Spielberg elements here. Music, action, special effects, cinematography; however, story and dialogue go right out that door.
It seems as if he got lazy and told all his crew people to put together a good movie and he'll come back later to finish it up. Tom Cruise and the supporting cast were okay. Cruise was doing his best acting, but still just couldn't convince me of his character. His estranged daughter and son were okay as well. They had their moments. I felt the daughter was very annoying at times, but she does a great job of portraying some fear.
The end though. Wow. That right there is what brought me to this conclusion that Spielberg was lazy and he had his crew pretty much make the movie for him. See for yourself.
It's worth a watch for the action and effects, but that's about it.
