Spielberg can never stick with the story

Rating: Null/10 (23 December 2005)

Spielberg's movie is alright but right at the heart of it is a family film (just like nearly all of Spielberg's movies) the effects are astounding but Dakota Fanning cant stop screaming! Tom Cruise is good at trying to be the perfect father who tries to keep his promise and in a miracle through all of the near death experiences his son who runs straight at one of the tripods with the army and the crazy man, they all end up happily ever after.
Spielberg was good at showing how the aliens died of viruses but didn't stick stick to the plot of H.G Wells original story, showing how the aliens would have destroyed the planet and how superior they were to humans, but in Spielberg's case he took the story chucked it in the bin and wrote another story about family struggling through hard times.for example E.t was about family struggling through hard times as was Jurrasic Park really.
