Sucking Spielberg Aping Devlin/Roland Emmerich

Rating: 1/10 (21 July 2005)

First of all am not from America and I am of age 23. As a child I loved amazing movies from Hollywood and now, I simply hate them! This movie reinvented my hatred towards sucking Hollywood NO-BRAINERS Sci-fi movies, only because over-exploited director Spielberg and his new disgusting partner Tom Cruise.
War of the Worlds (Spoilers******)
Based on the great classic visionary writer H.G. Wells' novel 'The War of the Worlds' which is best known for the historic 1938 Orson Welles radio broadcast in which Welles deviously convinced much of the nation that our planet was actually under attack, for such an high brilliant subject the new age Hollywood adaptation turned to be a sucking disaster when the movie rights was took up by the producer Tom Cruise and his new team partner Steven Spielberg.
Re-changing the original work upside down the screen-story begins with a middle wage industrial worker Ray Ferrier (Tom Cruise) who was taken the custody of his two children Robbie (Justin Chatwin) and Rachel (Dakota Fanning) from his ex-wife for a few days. Children seemed upset under their biological father's custody only because he is not wealthy as their mother's new boyfriend. But things went wrong when the weather goes bad and they really had to go through more disgusting moments with their dad, more than they expected.
Scripted by David Koepp tells the counterfeit version of H.G. Wells's novel in a destitute manner, only to incorporate Tom Cruise execrable acting talents. And Spielberg made that thing even bigger by giving more importance to this gay/bisexual 'Cruise' man than the story itself. He forgot it was written by H.G. Wells and must be made as a great masterpiece. He blew out his chance and we see a poor aped version of " Roland Emmerich/ Dean Devlin " from Spielberg, through out the movie.
Also the soul of the movie from legendary John Williams failed to create a meaningful score for a sci-fi masterpiece novel. May be because he might have known that the movie itself has no meaning, when it was created entirely different from Wells's version.
All in all it's a dreadful experience to watch the entire movie, I recommend better skip the portions when Tom Cruise comes to screen with his overrated acting skills, better watch it in a pirated CD. I don't know why they make such films after 9/11 without any point. Spielberg must change his carrier to a second unit director.
"I would give this movie 1 out of 10"!
War of the Worlds = Jar of the Craps.
