War of The Worlds

Rating: 3/10 (30 June 2005)

effects are nice (as usual) concept OK, but the ending? it seems they did not know how to end the film, there are elements and part of the story left unanswered. I think this film is surprisingly disappointing. They failed to show the audience what really happened in the book. The story is lacking some of the details that i think is essential to the movie to bring the book into the big screen. I think Cruise & Spielberg have other engagements while filming this, the film is so short, that you feel not contented with the film. Dakota Fanning is of course brilliant with her acting and all. But it seems she is being typecast as this brat girl who thinks old for her age.
