Ehhh...

Rating: 5/10 (24 October 2007)

On a scale of one to ten I would have to give the movie, War of the Worlds, a five. There were a lot of things about the movie I really enjoyed as well as other things I found really stupid and irrelevant.
I liked how they did all the special effects, and made everything look pretty realistic. I also liked the unique look of the aliens the really stepped away from the stereotypical look of how I have seen aliens portrayed in other movies. It was very action packed, and Dakota Fanning was AMAZING as usually. She was perfect for the part of Susan.
However I did not like how Spielberg ended it; he did not do a good job of tying the movie together so that everything made sense. It just kind of stopped and didn't really show what happened. It confused me until the narrator summed it up in the very end, but personally I don't think any movie should end and then have to explain what just happened. I mean come on what is that. The story was already there all Spielberg had to do was modernize it, and he did not to such a good job on that. Over all I think it was a half descent movie that had potential to be way better than it was
