What are you people talking about?

Rating: 9/10 (1 July 2005)

My God, i have just come out of the cinema from watching war of the worlds, logged onto IMDb and read reviews of people stating that Spielberg has let us down. What? I tried my best not to do much research on the film prior to watching it as i didn't want to spoil anything. It worked. The film is breathtaking, edge of your seat stuff. I didn't want the film to end. The effects are amazing, the acting on top form especially from Miss Fanning, the tension is beyond belief. The scene in the basement is similar to Minority Reports' spider scene. Sheer nerve recking. The violence is a bit shocking even when you know that it all effects. Anyway, come on people, this film is excellent. Ignore the rubbish reviews, go watch it yourself and make your own mind up. The problem with some people is that they expect some tip top, brassed up, silver service from Spielberg and Cruise.
