So what if Tom is crazy- this movie is awesome!

Rating: 10/10 (3 July 2005)

OH AND BY THE WAY- YOU CAN TELL THAT TONS OF THESE REVIEWS ARE FROM PEOPLE THAT ARE Disappointed BY TOM'S COMMENTS ABOUT DRUGS,ETC AND HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS MOVIE. THAT'S TOTAL B.S. I DON'T AGREE WITH TOM CRUISE ON A PERSONAL LEVEL BUT THAT GUY CAN ACT. AND THESE B.S. REVIEWS AND REALLY SO TELLING OF HOW PEOPLE CAN'T Separate THE ACTING FROM THE PERSON. GET OVER IT AND SEE THE MOVIE!
War of the Worlds starts out with a bang and keeps you going on this thrill ride for the entire movie. I was literally freaking out the first half of the movie. I was crying as was some of the men around me. I think people are going to be scared S***less by this movie.
It brings up and triggers emotions from 9/11, and other alien movies,etc,etc. I was bawling- I'll just admit it. I was holding my husband's hand so tight- he asked me if we needed to leave the theater four times.
All I could think of after the movie was "I am so not prepared" if anything ever happens IE; disaster, aliens, terrorism. It really freaked me out.
Spielberg achieved in freaking me out once again. I am scared of sharks (Jaws) and now freaked out that aliens are going to come and get us. Thank you Mr Spielberg! The way he shot the film and the special effects- it's amazing. This is a movie shot from the character's perspective. you are seeing everything as they do. It's terrifying and very convincing. There wasn't one shot or special effect that looked trumped up. It's all seamless.
And who cares if tom Cruise is a nuttbag right now. This movie is incredible. I have to say that this is one of the top five movies I have ever seen in my 34 years of living.
Not one person got up to use the bathroom or go get food. This is one of those stay on the edge of your seat until the end of the movie movies.
The acting was incredible. PEOPLE!!!!!!!! Do you not understand that Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning and etc,etc are acting against cardboard cut outs when they shoot the film? Tom Cruise MUST get an Oscar for this one. It's amazing. Loved it, can't say enough. Go see it.
