another Steven Spielberg victory!!

Rating: 9/10 (2 July 2005)

Without any hesitation and extreme glee, I would unquestionably recommend this film. I believe indisputably, Steven Spielberg gave a great adaptation of H.G. Wells, "War of the Worlds." I was quite pleased with his version of the aliens and their vessels. In fact, I sat through most of the movie with my mouth hanging open. The sound effects were also awesome too.
Tom Cruise delivered a fantastic performance as Ray Ferrier, a divorced dockworker and father of two. Dakota Fanning (Hide and Seek) and Justin Chatwin (taking lives) play the roles of his children. Both performed equally as well.
This movie, even though I had seen the original, still provided suspense to keeping me handing on the edge of my seat. This is definitely, a must seen film.
