War of the Worlds-Genius

Rating: 10/10 (1 July 2005)

Spielbergs war of the worlds is simply genius a combination of sci-fi, horror, suspense and action all packed into 2 hours making it one of the most thoroughly enjoying experiences u will ever find. some criticisms has been made of the ending but i loved the simple approach Spielberg made to the movie through the eyes of Cruises character Ray Ferrier. Visually this film cannot not be touched the tripod ships are menacing to look as are the creepy martians. John Williams musical score is simply brilliant and proves reliable to Spileberg as hes done in the past with film like Jaws and Schindlers List. Srong performances from everybody including Cruise and a brilliant Dakota Fanning. H.G. Wells would be proud of Spielbergs adaption as the intended horror and chills are maintained throughout. This proves why Spileberg is still the greatest director to ever grace the cinematic world.
