What a disaster

Rating: 1/10 (3 July 2005)

I truly believe this movie was awful. Put aside all the special affects, this picture doesn't do mr Spielberg any justice. Mr. cruise was a disaster. Ms. fanning was as always brilliant.
What really bothered me was the pace of the movie. no real chronology in events, An abrupt end to movie which leads you confused to whether it was the grenade that triggered a cataclismic chain within the aliens or later the birds and then we finally get a poor explanation from our dear mr freeman....The hiding scene in the house was so poor and so long it was truly overdone and mr robbins raving was simply annoying. Ms. Fanning truly kept we watching or i would have stormed out demanding a refund.
No wonder the box office is doing so badly.
