Should be War of the Stupid Children

Rating: 7/10 (1 July 2005)

Tom Cruise singing a lullaby. Get real. This story can be told so many interesting ways and from so many angles. I do not understand why essentially Spielberg told a story about a rotten father dealing with really stupid children trying to get to of all places Boston, after leaving a destroyed New York. Who would in their right minds- when the earth is being overrun by people eating monsters attacking every major city go from New York to Boston????? There are so many "why would anyone do that?"'s in this movie it starts to very difficult to believe anything anyone does. The movie really didn't work for me on any level. Poor character development. Tom Cruise was miscast And while the special effects were stunning, they really didn't seem to serve any purpose and principally consisted of lots of people running crazy this way and that. Batman was a great movie. This one is not one of Spielberg's best or even average.
