Superb.

Rating: 10/10 (8 December 2011)

War of the Worlds is a fast paced sci-fi movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat all the way from beginning to end. Steven Spielberg yet again made another triumph in his cinematic career as director. Alongwith Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Minority Report, Saving Private Ryan and Jaws, this is one of his most well made films. Tom Cruise put forth an amazing performance as the father trying to protect his two kids from an alien invasion. One of his best roles along with his role as Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible and as the title character in the movie Jerry Maguire. He is one of the best movie stars around. It is such a shame that he was nominated a golden raspberry award for worst actor. And Dakota Fanning also put forth an amazing performance. Warning, this movie has some frightening moments. So it probably might not be viewed by little children since they might most likely be scared. War of the Worlds is a very fine piece of filmmaking.
