An intense movie not meant for the faint of heart.

Rating: 10/10 (4 August 2005)

War of the Worlds is one of Steven Spielberg's greatest achievements. The movie was intense, and the lightning carrying the pods was ingenious. What amazed me the most was when the tripods came out from under the ground, showing how clueless we are to what might be right under our noses. Embarrassing as it is, I did get so scared I started to cry. That was when the bodies came floating down the river when Dakota Fanning went to go to the bathroom. Tom Cruise was excellent in his role, and I don't like him too much. Dakota was amazing as well. Some of it was disgusting, but other than those parts, it was a well plotted movie, with twists that will churn your stomach.
