War of the Worlds is about Aliens coming to Earth and wreaking havoc on humanity

Rating: 8/10 (16 July 2005)

This movie was good, Tom Cruise is always a good actor, and Dakota Fanning is phenomenal. I really hope she doesn't turn into one of those at risk child actors, and I hope she stays around a long time. Back to the movie, I thought it was well done with the action scenes and the story line. The only issue I had was when there were blood and veins everywhere as the fertilizer or whatever the aliens were doing with the bodies. I thought that that part was a little too violent even for a PG-13 movie. And the part with Tim Robbins as the guy in the house who protected Tom and Dakota, I love Tim Robbins, but for some reason the part didn't fit as well as the rest of the movie flowed. It was relevant, don't get me wrong, I just wish there would have been more dialogue or action scenes in that part. That part seemed to lag and get kind of boring. But other than those two things I thought the movie was good. The special effects were not at all cheesy, they looked so real! And it really shows how humans act in a situation like that, every person for themselves. Sad, but true.
