Excellent Movie

Rating: 10/10 (8 July 2005)

I have seen this movie. And I have also read what other people have written about this movie. I only have two words to say to you...screw you. You obviously did not understand the movie. And you obviously didn't understand the role of Tom Cruise. He's a low-life dad. His kids don't really care that much for him, but when a family is on a life or death adventure, it brings people closer together. Like when Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning were in the basement, and he was saying how he didn't know any of the songs, and then he starts singing, and that is really sweet and everything, because it brought them closer together. And with Robbie, (Justin Chatwin) sure he was being a total idiot when he ran into the war, but he only wanted to help. Not to mention when they were on the ferry and the thing was going up, Robbie climbed up to help people get on, he was only trying to save their lives. Even though yeah, the tripods were in the water and most of those people died, but that was probably Ray's (Tom Cruise) most proud moment of his son. I don't care what people think of this movie, I'm just saying that this was an excellent movie, for one because it had nothing to do with the government, it didn't show them planning to kill the aliens, it was all just about one family's race for survival, and I think this movie is one of the best I have ever seen.
