Re: War of the Worlds
They first made a 2 hour movie 'V', which I believed aired on television. They turned it into a series after the movie.
No, I'm wrong. It was a mini-series and then a regular show which got cancelled.
Re: War of the Worlds
yeah..that was a good show..so was the War of the worlds TV show..following on that style is the new battle star galactica series..very claustrophobic viewing..but very compelling
Re: War of the Worlds
Ah well. Downgraded it to Netflix.
Re: War of the Worlds
You’re sick and twisted too? LOL
Welcome abroad, brotha…hahahaha
Re: War of the Worlds
This movie rocked. Scared the hell out of me. Would not take a kid to see it. Great effects....everything looked real, the sound was amazing. Typical Spielberg...a fine film. And the 5 previews were great too!
Re: War of the Worlds
you gotta be kidding!!
Re: War of the Worlds
Batman begins = :k:
War of the worlds = not so :k: (steven spielberg did a good job. It was original and unseen. tom cruise’s performace was excellent)
Re: War of the Worlds
First half was Spielberg at his best.Second half was a total let down.Pissed me off so much where they took the movie. 
Re: War of the Worlds
wow...i watched it 2...i guess it was not gr8...but it wasn't horrible..since i'm a 14 yrs. girl it kinda scared me...well it wasn't the best movie...thx 4 the feed bk every1....:)
IT was a FEAST to Watch.......
WAR OF THE WORLDS.....:)
Tom Cruise as Ray Ferrier is the best there is in terms of endearing himself and no matter what role he portrays he always fit it like a tee. I know that his role here may not be as lucrative in terms of showmanship like in The Last Samurai, Mission Impossible and even Top Gun. However, he can still muster enough credentials to believe who he is. His performance can be attributed to his Jerry Maguire role of trying to find his niche in times of difficulty and despair. I always wonder why he hasn’t won any best actor award in the Oscar which such performance of excellence for each outing he makes.
Dakota Fanning is an exemplary child actress and makes you think that the movie is a continuity of her role in Taken, but this time around she portrays the role of any given child in that scenario.
The movie was a little bit grainy and sometimes too dark, but it sets the mood of the action sequences that arises afterwards. I won’t give up any spoiler but the special effects are quite inventive (but once you see Star Wars everything looks ordinary anyway) for this kind of Sci-Fi genre. It showcased a combination of Independence Day minus Signs divided by E.T. and multiplied by Taken plus Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Overall, the movie was quite entertaining but the human element is the basic fulcrum of the film and center onto one character that bridges the tenacity to never give up no matter how dire the circumstances are. I guess you would say that it is not your typical popcorn movie since it delves on the soulful characteristic of man facing something extraordinary. I hope you would enjoy the film as I do but some were quite disappointed that it should be plain action and dump the human element. At the end of the day, it all depends on your point of view but the real reason is still to enjoy and relax and take your mind elsewhere to the wonderful world of Spielberg.
PS: It is 100 times better than Signs.
Re: War of the Worlds
I thought it was good actually except the end was too abrupt. Kept me at the edge of my seat. It would be great to see the movie on a 3D screen:D
Re: War of the Worlds
I wanna see batman begins i heard it was really good.
heard war of the worlds was like all action and wasn't that good.
Re: War of the Worlds
is batman begins better then war of the worlds?
I think war of the worlds was OK! I expected something better. The end was just...so so!
Re: War of the Worlds
well i think the film was quite goood...
bcz the story has been taken from novel...
and only Speilberg can make this type of film...
Re: War of the Worlds
I think it was alright…i was expecting something little better…and after reading all those stupid spoil threads…i was waiting till last minute that Tom will die and he didn’t 
Re: War of the Worlds
