AHHHH....some yes, some no with War of the Worlds!

Rating: 7/10 (3 July 2005)

OK,to start...for the most part the special effects were pretty awesome, though there appeared to be some "re-use" of some effects from past Spielberg movie's; liked the different "type" of "ground alien/soldier"; liked the "blood veins/roots"; liked the initial "hurry up" and "let's get this movie started", beginning; didn't like the "indoors" scenes too much with Tim Robbins-too long/40-50 percent boring; didn't like Dakota Fanning screaming so much(they should have given her more lines/alien encounter scenes instead- this role was a waste of her potential, I think); A little re-editing might make this movie more quickly paced and "in your face"!
