Dry,very Dry.

Rating: 6/10 (3 July 2005)

Overall it was a decent movie.Basically if you changed the name you wouldn't have known it was war of the world. Tom Cruises performance was lackluster at best.It seemed like his character was purposefully bland and confused for most of the movie. It reminded me more of aww2 movie about how people act under pressure than a remake of a classic sci-fi.I think Spielberg was trying to make a statement,unfortunately it wasn't really clear what it was. It would have added some life to it if the original radio broadcast was playing on the radio.It seems like the movie had some validity with people who had never seen the original.Most people just seemed creeped out.
