Call me crazy but I loved it!!!

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2006)

When I watched this movie I was gripped from start to finish. I too have never seen the original and really only watched it because I love Dakota Fanning but I have to be honest and say that it is a movie I will watch many more times. Having said that I do want to mention that I did not pay to see it in the theaters as I refuse to go to them so I do not feel like I lost money on it. But I do not feel it was a waste of my time. I compared it to movies like Independence Day which up to this point was my favorite Sci Fi movie, needless to say it has been replaced. I love the effects, and the acting. Tom Cruise was of course overshadowed by Dakota which in my opinion was not hard for this talented little girl. Her range of emotions in this movie was amazing. The movie certainly is not a think piece but that is not what I choose in a movie. If you are the analytical realistic movie fan then you will not like this movie, if you love a good shoot it up and destroy everything kind of movie than I promise you will love it also.
