Why do so many people complain about the script ?

Rating: 9/10 (2 August 2005)

Or do question the logic of the story ? The fact that the alien are stupid, etc...
The story shows many inconsistencies, nobody argues about that ! But Spielberg made a movie that respects the spirit of the original text of Orson Wells. He took some liberty on the protagonists but most of the framework is consistent with the original story and the first movie.
Out of this, the movie is excellent. The way Spielberg takes you into the feeling you would have facing the end of the world as you know it is absolutely awesome.
It is probably not his best movie but it deserves a better rank than 5 or below !!!
