They insult my intelligence with this movie.

Rating: 1/10 (25 July 2006)

Stupid.
Giant holes in the continuity--ex. the son is last seen on a hill that is obliterated with a nuclear like blast...next thing you know he's in Boston--hmmm I'll waste no more of my precious time-- 3 hours of my life I'll never get back...

"just how badly Spielberg was going to screw this up. The real problem with War of the Worlds lies with a simple peanut butter sandwich. The sandwich that Tom Cruise, as blue-collar weekend dad Ray Ferrier, angrily hurls against a windowpane. From our perspective outside the house looking in, that slice of bread, buttered on one side, should either stick butter side up to the window pane, or flop straight off again. It does neither. Defying all laws, the bread sticks against the pane Â– having been buttered on the other side. In a peanut shell, then, this is the problem with Worlds: it simply hasn't been thought through properly."
