worth the admission but not for kids

Rating: 8/10 (2 July 2005)

I saw this movie last night with my 9 yr old son. I was expecting something along the lines of Independence Day or I never would have taken him - he had his eyes closed for half of it. This is a very intense and serious movie with very realistic graphics. There are some slow bits but all in all it was very enjoyable. I read all those really bad reviews and I cant believe they saw the same movie. Maybe my friend is right and it is a smear campaign against Tom Cruise for his drug comments. Well I might not like his comments either but I thought the movie was pretty good. This is certainly not one of those dud movies. Well apparently I cannot submit this without 10 lines of text so let me say more... The young girl was not screaming all through the film as some have said. My son came around halfway through and afterwards has not stopped pestering me for what he missed. I know this is a film that my husband will thoroughly enjoy and he plans on seeing it
