Oh my God

Rating: 1/10 (14 July 2005)

There are no known words that can describe my deep hatred and disgust towards this movie. It is the worst movie I have seen this year. My God! What was Spielberg huffing when he made this film? First of all; special effects? I have seen better special effects in sci.fiction movies from the 50's! All we saw was houses being blown to pieces. Wow big woof, like we've never seen that before, just in every sci.fiction flick known to man! The day after tomorrow, now that is what I call special effects. War of the Worlds couldn't hold a candle to it. And what's the deal with the name, War of the worlds? You can hardly call that a war. The so-called aliens, looking a lot like giant rubber squids practically just walked over the humans, without even knowing it. A blue-collar average Joe, also known as Tom Cruse, and his daughter, Fanning (the annoying little brat, who in this movie will not shut her big yap) and his son, (the typical rebel teenager who hates everyone) is apparently a family who has what is takes to survive these alien invaders. Not bloody likely. They were captured by the aliens for God's sake! If you are captured the game is over. But no no, not for the Cruiseman. He just happened to find a dozen hand garnets seconds before becoming a intergalactic prisoner in a cage hanging from those tripods the aliens use to get around. Then a man is pulled into the ship. No one bothers to help him. But,,, when Cruise is pulled up, they all come to his rescue. Then he accomplished leaving to garnets, which is enough to bring down a machine the size of a mountain. That is just wrong.
The whole basement scene with the irritating and "Oh, you just wish Steven would have shown Tom kill him"  man (poorly played by Robbins), was just so long and dull and pointless, that when the aliens finally appear you just don't care anymore. You just want it to end. The aliens by the way? Not nearly scary enough to recapture the eerie element that could have made this movie a little less, oh say, crappy. Theywere cute, god-damned! Moreover, what the hell was the vampire bloodsucking thing all about? Since when did aliens drink blood and making plants grow? What are they, god-damned gardeners from outer space? Not to mention that sucky ending... Yeah right, like Robbie would have survived that explosion. Goddamned Hollywood ending, is what it was. The ending was too quick anyway. BOOM! All the aliens dead, in a matter of minutes, brought down by tiny micro-organisms. OH! I just hate this movie! I can not believe I actually spent money to see this worthless piece of crap. Avoid this movie at all costs. The name Spielberg does not mean quality, I mean, I think we have all seen The Terminal Those alien spaceship things probably caused so much destruction, and all we got to see was The Tom and Fanning and some occasionally demolition of houses and cars. Worst alien invading movie since Signs. Maybe Spielberg and Shyamalan can get together and make a sequel worthy of all the categories in the raspberry awards. When they talked about making this film, Steven said it would be the most expensive movie ever made, so no wonder the expectations were little high. Way to disappoint.
