Better than the Critics say

Rating: 9/10 (1 July 2005)

I keep reading comments about how its depressing, some things don't make sense and so on. My response to all of those comments is READ THE BOOK! The book is not warm and fuzzy. It is about aliens coming to Earth and killing everything in sight. This is not an Adam Sandler flick. As for the complaints of some things don't make sense such as why did humans not discover the alien crafts buried in the ground before, or why didn't the aliens know the germs would kill them? It's a movie! When was the last time you went to a movie where everything was accurate and made perfect sense. It's a story. The point of the story is good overcomes evil, and little tiny things can beat big giant things.
The movie is entertaining, creepy, suspenseful and a good watch. If you want to play mr. big-time movie critic and complain about pace and lighting and blah, blah, blah be my guest. If you want to go to a movie and be entertained for two hours go see War of the Worlds, or better yet read the book!
