Pretty good movie note: might contain spoilers

Rating: 8/10 (27 November 2006)

When I saw war of the worlds in theaters I was impressed but I didn't think much of Ray. I think thats tom cruises character. He was a slob who was barely getting by. I think the martians are pretty good but, if their tripods can be brought down by a group of hand grenades then they aren't so powerful. I think that they should have laid off the special effects and put a more personal side to the story. Thats the only flaw, the amount of special effects and the amount of personal scenes. The acting is pretty good and I really felt for the people left behind on the docks, knowing they were going to die because that was the only savable ferry and the docks were under attack. All in all I give it a 8.5. It should have had more of a personal side to it.
