Decent flick with too much hype

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2005)

Even though I read the glowing reviews many critics made of WoW, I wasn't really expecting much. It wasn't a movie i was looking forward to, like for example Batman Begins, but nevertheless i decided to give it a try. For the most part the movie was surprisingly entertaining. I'll start with the good parts:
-I enjoyed the scene of which Tom and his son were playing catch living in New England I could appreciate it.
-The Scenes of high-tense action, which seemed to happen scene after scene. That was one thing about it, it never slowed down at all, which i liked. it almost seemed to blur into one big action sequence.
-I also enjoyed the scene in which tom had to let his son go. It was probably the best scene in the movie.
-I think it portrayed how people would act perfectly if something like this would happen. with the scene where everyone is fighting over the car and all.
Now onto the bad parts, stop reading if you don't want to know the ending:
-The Ending. period. i mean i understand how the aliens died and all, but it sucks at the same time. I left the theater thinking i wanted to go back to my house and create a weapon to kill the aliens before the Earth gets to them first. I wanted the people to kick some ass or at least some battle of which people find out their weakness. it sucks that they just died eventually. and what was up with tom going to his ex wife's parents house? How did they survive when there are no people out on the streets, and none of them had a scratch on them? I don't understand how any of them survived when there was a toll of 1 billion dead. it left me with a sour taste in my mouth, but then i realized how i didn't really want to kill myself during the movie as a whole, so i forgave it
overall i thought it was an entertaining movie and worth a rental and a purchase if you can deal with the ending.
