Loved it!

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2005)

I never thought a movie could compare to Sin City. War of the Worlds was a close second. Even though Tom Cruise is a weirdo, he does have talent. He played a great part in this movie and I loved watching him grow as a father in this movie.
Although I question some aspects of this movie, it still kept me on the edge of my seat. After the tripods come out of the ground, they make this machine like sound that was rather creepy if I do say so myself. Every time they made that sound, I knew something bad was going to happen and had to grab my friend's hand to not freak out. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.
I was really impressed with the aliens in the movie. They were not all fake looking, yet were still freaky. Steven Spielberg didn't ruin the movie by making them huge and mean. They acted like they would on a weird and different planet.
I have to say that of all the movies I have seen, this is by far one of the best when it comes to special effects. Even though this movie is about the destruction of the earth by huge tripods, they weren't that fake looking. It was just a really believable movie. The acting was surprising well and I was all around impressed. I didn't like the book, but the movie was more than I expected. Go see it and make your own decision.
