It could have been worse...

Rating: 5/10 (24 July 2005)

I saw this last night. I have one thing to say. Why? What the heck did they do? I had high expectations for this. I loved the original movie and the book, so since Steven Spielburg did it, I thought it would be good. I was wrong. The movie started out all right I guess, but then it went downhill. It had too much Tom cruise in it. Dakota Fanning's screams were extremely annoying. There was too much family stuff in it. It was like Tim Burton's Planet of the apes. They took a great story, and put a lot of special effects and ruined the story. I still am angry with the new Planet of the apes ending. I think Steven Spielburg should dump Tom Cruise and do something with some one else, like Tom Hanks.
