Waste of the Worlds

Rating: 1/10 (11 July 2005)

When one thinks about War of the Worlds, one thinks about Orson Welles or H.G. Wells. Great names who have contributed in many ways to the advancement of modern culture. Now one has two new great contemporary names to think of. Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise. Fortunately for them (and for us), War of the Worlds is not their only achievement, otherwise no one would ever have cared about them. The movie is a waste of talent, a waste of money and a waste of time. It is unfortunate that such a good story, directed by such a "god" of the cinema and with such a top bill should turn out that unbelievably bad movie. I am sorry I saw it.
