2 Hour Tom Cruise Love fest of HImself

Rating: 5/10 (30 June 2005)

It was the scariest story broadcast over the airwaves in radio history. It was a top selling book. It was a great movie made in 1953 staring Gene Barry. With today's CGI it would be the biggest movie of the summer. How do you Ruin a guaranteed blockbuster..enter Tom Cruise. The whole movie was about him and his annoying children. I wanted to see a movie of aliens declaring war on earth which when it you did the CGI was great. ID4 was a thousand times better than this film with better charters which this film really only had 1 and that was Cruise. This film was a lot like Top Gun, good flying with a lot of trash between. Two people clapped when it was over and on a day with 87 degrees heat and 85% Humidity people could not leave the threater fast enough. Not one-person even stayed to see the credits. Sappy story that I blame on Crusie cause I figure Spielberg felt could carry the whole thing. Spielberg just would have had to remake the first film with CGI special effects but dropped the ball big time and in my option lost his stuff. This film wasn't aliens attacking earth but alians attack TOm Cruise Earth just got in the way. If it was any other actor I think they would have paid more attention on the aliens and earth's fight back. Will you like the movie, sure. Will you be disappointed, most Definitely. If you want to see a good movie of the telling of this story rent the 1953 version.
