it was an entertaining movie, what movie about aliens wouldn't?

Rating: 6/10 (25 July 2005)

I have to say that this movie wasn't all it was said to have been. There was not enough action; the action doesn't include every every single scene in the movie, despite the intro, being aliens attacking humans and killing them and the humans seem helpless to prevent it. You have the big scene in the beginning where the first aliens arrive, and that is how the movie should have been situated. After that there should have been a solution to how to stop the invaders. It didn't even live up to the name of War of the Worlds. This whole thing was one sided. It was very entertaining, I'll grant that, but for a Spielberg movie, I was a little disappointed. In my opinion, Independence Day is beat WOTW by a long shot. Cruise was decent, Fanning was superb, and Robbins gave a nice side effect. All in all, I gave it a six out of ten.
