It Is Ain't That Bad

Rating: 7/10 (8 July 2005)

I really do get the mixed feeling after watching this movie  yet the movie is good, it is not even close to an epic (that it suppose to be), it didn't delivered enough satisfaction, worst of all I feel the movie has really weak story.
This is definitely not the script to be working on from the legendary director but Spielberg did managed to direct very well (no bias here), though the angle he shot was very different from other movies (and different is good). Casting is alright, nothing great. (Though I feel other actor might be better choice for Ray).
The CGI of aliens and tripods machine was nothing special. What I didn't like about this movie was the high amount of flaw, which can be seen very easily even if you tried to avoid seeing it. Come-on, which dockers has great looking muscle car, leather jacket (that Tom like to wear in real life), Omega watch, and a house with backyard!!! There load more error but don't want to mention it.
Overall, Spielberg didn't manage to scare people like he said. The movie is good but I expecting something more (much more) - More fighting (the actual "war"), more Tripods, more Aliens, more Destruction, more people running and screaming, more of everything.
The whole movie seems short with abrupt ending (which people find it to be the most disappointing part of the movie) making it look cheap.
Recommendation: It Good, But ID4 Have More Exciting Aliens.
Rating: 7/10 (Grade: B-)
