Please.. NO!!!

Rating: 1/10 (3 July 2005)

Do NOT see this movie! It's a total waste of money and time. It shows Cruise as a totally worthless person who can't take care of his kids or himself. He runs, and runs, and runs. He is nothing of the hero you expect to see in a movie. The daughter is screaming constantly as if she was trying to win the next award for Americas Screem Queen. The son is trying to be a hero but looks like a geek that wants to be something that he is not. Of course the mother and the stepfather of the children are perfect! This movie is not about our world being invaded by aliens. It's a film about a father trying to become a better person. Why didn't they just do a movie about that without involving aliens??? And WHY involve Tim Robbins in this movie at all? His appearance is totally useless and his character brings nothing to this film except for yet another thing to be annoyed by. You would think that Spielberg and Cruise would be something worth seeing, but that was not the case. It was boring, annoying, poor story and so on. I am so disappointed. I rarely find a film to be awful with NO good moments in it at all. Usually I can find SOMETHING that is entertaining in a movie but not in this one. I have nothing good to say about War of the Worlds. If you want to see a movie about our world being invaded by aliens: Go rent "Independence Day" instead. Or find some old episodes of "V". At least that will give you some amount of entertainment!!!
