What war??

Rating: 1/10 (4 July 2005)

War of the Worlds was very disappointing. There was no story, no plot, this was just a "showcase" for Tom Cruise. Dakota Fanning is cute but screams too much. The kids in the movie were some of the most disobedient ever. Cruise was a weak father figure, I am surprise he consented to playing such a role. To have a war, there must be combat. This was totally one-sided. I am surprised at the lack of multiculturalism. The special effects were big and noisy but nothing special. Even the tripods were awkward looking. If Cruise was supposed to be the hero, he did virtually nothing. What was Spielberg thinking ???
