A Pretty Good Film

Rating: 8/10 (29 June 2005)

Steven Spielburg's talent never ceases to amaze us. War of the Worlds is suspenseful,thrilling,and filled with great acting talent. The visual effects are too shabby either. Tom Cruise evidently went through a lot of stress taking on this role...which he should have, in order to truly grasp the unbalanced and heroic father he portrays. Dakota Fanning's acting talent only gets better and she lights up the screen with her abilities. This girl will win plenty of awards over her years in film. Getting to see Peter Jackson's preview to King Kong was a treat for me as well.
War of the Worlds is a MUST SEE...do not wait for video rental on this one folks.
