What's with the Gene Shalit review of this movie?

Rating: 1/10 (2 July 2005)

He said this movie is a must see and it's Cruise's best work. Does he get paid for a review like this or what. Actually maybe he never gives bad reviews and he is just a shill for the studios? And that mustache. I wish Spielberg had remade the 1952 George pal version and used the same storyboards with just 2005 technology as this 2005 new screenplay made no sense to me. These machines come out of the ground and what's with that ferry Cruise gets on. I found the movie to be as interesting as Zelig. How can this be praised as a great movie? The George pal version is much much better. Spielberg should be embarrassed with this movie.
