Great, then leaves you

Rating: 6/10 (28 June 2005)

The film War of the World's starts out as one of the best opening 15 minutes in movies I've seen this year. The film has many great things about it that carry it throughout.
From the performances of Cruise, Fanning, Robins,and on, its not a bad movie at all. then why do i rate it so low?
It seemed to miss one thing. *spoiler*
AN ENDING!!! where was the ending? the movie is great the first hour, then drags on about 30 minutes, then picks up again. the last 20 minutes of the film leave you wondering exactly what is going on, up until the ending that makes no sense. HOw did his son survive? Why was his wives house completely fine, even though everything around it was rubble? i wish the ending was as good as the original. the original rocked. would i watch it again? sure, but I'm waiting for the DVD.
