| Definitely not as bad as the critics said. I honestly thought it was a good movie, but it was lacking from Spielberg. The character development is horrible, most of the characters throughout this entire movie you won't even care about, even the character Tom Cruise played was bad, in my opinion. Still though, the scenery in the movie was nice to see, and if you really thought about it it could seem pretty scary. Expect some freaky music from John Williams himself also. An overall good movie I'd say, I'd probably give it a 7 out of 10. If you're a sci-fi fan of any kind, I recommend checking it out. Side Note: My friend kept on complaining that the alien vehicles were a rip-off of the Striders from Half-Life 2.  |

Hmm, well now that i've heard a review from an actual life form (critics suck  ) I might go check it out. Surprised to hear that Spielberg was a lackluster in this one, oh well. |

| Yeah, it just wasn't his best. Still, I'd say it's worth seeing. Funny though, there are some moments in this movie that reminded me of Jurassic Park. But honestly this movie is pretty suspenseful, and scary, at least I thought it was. I just wouldn't know what I'd do if something like this really happened. |

| Saw it last night, I thought it was good. Great special effects and the music was really good. Although, I agree, the characters weren't that great... I thought it did have a good story line, but.. i reccomend picking up the book too... Go check it out. |

| The theory I have is that the aliens had AIDS. That's what killed them. The aliens were gay Arabs trying to stop democracy, so they started crashing planes. But God doesn't like gays, or Muslims, so God had the aliens destroy the Catholic church in New York and then he gave the gay alien arabs AIDS. Beyond the tripods, the movie sucked. Worst ending ever. |

| I seriously don't think it was anything "horrible" but ... (the ending). Spoiler: If the aliens would have planted those machines, wouldn't those aliens have died quickly themselves? So many years of studying, yet they didn't study the atmosphere. Yeah ... I'd like that explained. Other than that the movie was pretty good I thought. (edited by Xeomega on 06-30-05 09:39 PM) |

| What bothers me is... Why would the aliens even bother to check if anything was in the house with their little telescope thing, they could of easily flattened the house without any problem like they had been doing for the rest of the movie. Other then that it was okay. Nothing great IMO but okay. |

Originally posted by Black Lord That was another thing that really bothered me too. I mean, why get out of those machines when while in them, they could kill what, hundreds of people in a few seconds? It seemed totally useless. |

| What the fuck? THAT IS THE WAY THE FUCKING BOOK ENDS! dont be bitching about it, you knew about how it ended even if you didnt read the book. The humans have lived on the earth for thousands of years, building up an immunity to viruses and stuff, and the aliens havent been living on the earth, so they didnt have an immunity to viruses that were on the earth... |

| Fudging. Awesome. Movie. I loved every bit of it. The suspense, the story - and I don't know why you guys didn't, but I cared about the characters. I think they were pulled off well. The tripods were freaking tight. I loved how they vaporized the people, and their clothes went flying into the air! What really got to me in this movie was the panic that the situation induced to the population - I mean, people just went crazy, like in that seen where they're driving through the mob of people, and the boat scene. "It is true. What angered me was the fact that Spoiler: "THE SON MANAGE TO SUR-FUCKING-VIVE A GIGANTIC CATACLYSMIC BLAST THAT KNOCKED OUT THE US FUCKING ARMOURED BATALLION! Was he really that close to the explosion? You never see where he goes, he just walks over the hill.I think that the vehicles were more likely to be harmed than he was. And, after all, we don't know his story. ANYTHING could have happened. "What bothers me is... Why would the aliens even bother to check if anything was in the house with their little telescope thing, they could of easily flattened the house without any problem like they had been doing for the rest of the movie. Other then that it was okay. Nothing great IMO but okay." Weeeellll...the aliens really seemed to be going for efficiency. Meh, why waste lasers on an empty house? 'Sides, it allowed for a pretty suspenseful scene, when the characters were moving around the basement, trying to stay out of sight. The only thing that bugged me was how the aliens died. I mean, yes, it makes perfect sense, but why would they let that happen? I would think that rule 101 of exploring foreign planets would be to wear space suits for protection, ya know? |

| He walks over a hill into a chaotic battle. He steps in front of the tanks. And then a giant flaming piece of alien war machine comes barrelling into the hill and a gigantic cataclysmic blast takes place. It wipes out thousands of soldiers, but not the kid. WTF Oh, and I wish that Dakota Fanning ate the peanut butter  JUST DIE YOU DUMB KID |

Originally posted by Black Lord Spoiler: Maybe they just wanted to guard the area? It does make sense that they stay around, but not that they keep checking the same house over and over again. I also liked the red weed concept, as it hints that the aliens wanted... to live here. They change their planet like their homeplanets. The only thing that didn't make sense was that the "EMP" put out alot of things, such as cars... but a freaking video camera still works. Last I checked a digital video camera have more sensetive electronics than a car ever have. ~_~ CheesePie: I take it as you hadn't seen the orginal. And actually, I like the way the movie ended. I'm not much for the "OMG WE HUMANS OUTSMART THEM" scenario. I liked the idea of how they got killed.  I liked the movies, it's actually one of the better remakes I have seen. Even if there isn't many things that is common with the orginal, save the ending and the "Axe scene". |

Originally posted by XeomegaOriginally posted by Ziff Oh come on! If you were a 10 year old girl with panic attacks during a frickin alien invasion I think youd be screaming alot worse. Originally posted by Ziff That seriously made me laugh out loud! XD I saw the Movie Sunday and I LOVED it. The ending wasnt very good yeah but whatever. It was suspenseful as hell and scary at some parts...if you pictured yourself in that type of situation. Im sure alot of you didnt like the ending because Cruise didnt hop into a Tripod and start blasting the Aliens, but seriously thats just not realistic. I thought this movie did a fantastic job and showing how people would behave during an alien onslaught. We wouldnt suit up and get ready for battle. We would panic....panic like crazy. |

| I saw the movie today. It was great apart from the end...it sucked like shit. It seemed lame and pissed me off alot. It was full of suspence and action but there were part which also annoyed me. The acting was great, i believe i would of acted similar in the sitution The little girl screming was so damn annoying and her constant questions, i wish she died. The son of tom was a stupid part of the movie, i also wish he died. I don't understnd how he survived and how he got to boston before tom and co. The house seemed to drag on, it was great but seemed tedious. The guy in the house was so damn funny to. He just seemed like joke. 1 min he would have an axe, the next he would have shot gun. The mchines also looked like a rip of Striders from hl2. Cool though. Why did the shields fail when too? Also why when they turned humans into fertiliser did it to weed that was alive? I actully changed my mind bout the film now...i hated it after writing this. It sucked, i can even remember why the alien invaded. Also if the aaliens planted the machines underground why didn't we dectect them? Why didn't the people run away when they saw the mchine rise. I such as would. Alot of people just stayed aand wtched. Corny nd lame |
