And this is the man who made "Schindler's List"?????

Rating: 3/10 (16 August 2005)

The same man made this badly edited, cutesy poo goo at the end piece of trash! There's a lot about it I like: the set up of our main characters and the portion of the invasion until after they flee the boat. After that reality in the film's events do a major splitsville. Okay sonny goes off but why was it necessary to show the tedium of wacko guy, then two Farriers with wacko guy v. alien probe and the aliens themselves! They reminded me of a trio of three legged Chihuahuas over-sized via CGI--I'm still get a chuckle recalling my looking at them. Not scary, Spielberg, and certainly not as they were described in Welles' book. Then after another equally long feel good lunacy (oh we did one in thing) the viewer is jumped to the end raced to apparently a worse planet of unreality: unmarked house, no smudge on the elderly parents and oh lookit here's sonny boy not even in a stretcher or a arm in a sling. Gosh. And where was my favorite line "Nothing can touch them" that was in two trailers?
Spielberg shame on you!
