Graphic/Violent/Cursing

Rating: 3/10 (18 July 2005)

I found the remake of War of the Worlds to be way too graphic, violent, and filled with cursing. After enjoying the original, I really did not expect this unnacceptable material. My 8 year old grandson was frightened, and had to change seats with me so he could sit next to his mother. If I had gone alone, I would have left before it was over. Also, there are several issues which are not explained well enough. The audience is left to figure out for themselves why there are more than one type of "spaceship" and how, exactly, they were able to accomplish the invasion without earth's foreknowledge. If you leave before the very last comment, and don't know the ending of the original, you will be left to wander about that, also.
