Pros: Dakota Fanning, entertaining plot, special effects. Cons: Ending could have been better
Several years ago I saw most of the 1953 version of War of the Worlds and enjoyed it. I’m not sure when I first heard about the new version of the movie, but I was interested in seeing it. My interest grew after I saw the previews. Ray ...
Pros: Fanning, Robbins, Freeman Cons: Cruise, script, direction
The aliens have come again, and this time, they're not friendly. In "War Of The Worlds," New Jersey dock worker Ray Ferrier (Tom Cruise) turns down the opportunity to work a double shift at precisely the right time. Actually, he does it because his ...
Pros: I jumped in my seat Cons: The explanation at the end as to what happened to the aliens and why
It’s very rare that I go to a movie within 2 days of it’s release but when it’s a Spielberg film and science fiction at that, my favorite genre, it really was easy to make an exception…Also the fact that my daughter had the day off and ...
Pros: Great special Effects, Sticks close to original stories intent, Dakota Fanning Cons: Robbie's character, unsatisfying ending,
The Eve of the War No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man’s and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about ...
Pros: Fine screenplay, good performances, excellent visual effects Cons: None
No one would have believed in the early years of the 21st century that our world was being watched by intelligences greater than our own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns, they observed and studied, the way a man with ...
Pros: things blow up reaaal good Cons: derivative, a little dark for younger viewers
Back in August of 2002, director M. Night Shyamalan dazzled the world with Signs, the story of a father's crisis of faith - wrapped in the trappings of a "war of the worlds" storyline. Audiences were thrilled, at least more than they had been with ...
Pros: Excellent acting, great special effects and a meaningful story Cons: None
I have to admit it. I'm a big fan of Steven Spielberg. Just a few of his movies include "Schindler's List"; "Jaws"; "Saving Private Ryan"; "E.T."; and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." I loved all of those films and many more that he directed. ...
Pros: Some good special effects, lots of action. Cons: Lack of sensibility, tripods are boring, actors lack depth
I was hesitant to watch War of the Worlds because I contemplated boycotting it. Why? Like many people I am pretty annoyed with Tom Cruise and his new romance, his stupid Oprah-couch dancing and his obnoxious and fanatical religious views. ...
Pros: Cruise and Fanning are great Cons: The son's role was too much
War of the Worlds is the second collaboration between two of Hollywood’s most powerful players – Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg. It is a remake of the original film from 1953, but with updated special effects, new characters, and a few twists. If ...
Pros: Fast action pace; Dakota Fanning and Tim Robbins Cons: The screenplay; Shallow, empty characters
Movies about aliens and the havoc they wreck on humankind are as old as filmmaking itself and many of them are often corny and too superficial to make them worthwhile. On the other hand, many of these alien movies also offer some memorable special ...
Pros: Tom Cruise, Steven Spielberg, Dakota Fanning, special effects, plot comes to life Cons: ending needed to be worked on
Everyone is fed up with the Tom Cruise mania that appears to be sweeping our nation. However, no hype or media glamour can deter me from seeing a good movie – which is exactly what I thought War of the Worlds would be. I thought it would be similar to ...
Pros: Effects. Production value. Small stuff. Cons: LOTS of unanswered questions. Unnecessary portions.
(Note: Major spoilers occur only in the clearly marked paragraph.) Spielberg. Cruise. Aliens. How can you go wrong? Well... With War of the Worlds, director Steven Spielberg has crafted a paradox: a movie with the subject of alien invasion ...
Pros: Great effects, believeable characters, lots of fun. Cons: We already know how the film will end.
No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man’s and yet as mortal as his own…... Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to ...
Pros: Based on a great book and good older film. Excellent special effects. Cons: Shallow plot and characters. Needed development.
“War of the Worlds” sounded like a good bet. Based on a classic H.G. Wells (1898) book which inspired the 1930s Orson Wells radio broadcast that listeners perceived as news rather than fiction and followed by a 1953 movie, this new (but not ...
Pros: The majority of the movie; the acting; the music Cons: The last 15 minutes or so
War of the Worlds or Fantastic 4? That was the dilemma that faced us last night as we walked into our local Star Theatre. Unable to make up our mind, and feeling that both would offer the same level of mindless entertainment, we decided ...
