I want more than the film has offered me

Rating: 6/10 (6 November 2006)

Naja, a very spectacular movie. But it doesn't 100% satisfy me. War of the worlds reminds me the film Independence Day. I, truly, prefer the second one.
It is nothing new, making some ETs, big UFOs and dozen of ugly creatures, which sometimes also make fun(in the basement the invaders have seen the photo curiously and one has tried the bike, which fell on him and made him angry. Very funny). They didn't say a word, just kill, without a simple reason. What is new? The creature were kill this time by the real virus and bacteria, not like Independce Day, by the Computervirus. And the theme is no longer to fight and defend, but a upset one, namely to escape and to leave friends behind, even to kill the other for a self-survival.
Of Tom Cruise, a failed father, has done nothing more than anyone else will have done. Just run and run, what is worse, kill Tim, who has saved his and his daughter's lives. I have thought, even hoped, that Tom acts like a hero, just like he has done before. What he has, just luck, that helped him to come cross all those killing-rays and falling buildings.
The end came too suddenly. The great machines ran down, without any omen. As if Steven only wants to tell the story further, but just at that time it hits him, time is up, everything has to be driven to the end. He did it, just with a man outside the screen, who tells you, the invaders are undone by the tiniest creatures on out planet. Maybe the virus's and the bacteria's names should be shown first at the credits, not Tom's.
