  I will be talking about the 2005 remake of War of the Worlds starring Tom Cruise. Now the movie is critically acclaimed to be a somewhat terrible movie. Besides one flaw at the very end of the movie, I thought the movie overall was actually brilliant.
  I thought that Speilberg did a great job keeping true to original
  story told my H. G.
  Wells. The directing and cinematography are both great and you can thank Mr.
  Speilberg once again for that. Those are both things he always nails and this movie is no exception.
  The acting is superb. Tom Cruise gets a lot of hate from a lot of people but you can’t deny that he ...
- is a great actor and that he is great in this movie.
  The special effects, as you can imagine, are top notch. Some of the sequences look so realistic that it sends a chill down your spine and the special effects only enhance these moments.
  The isn’t a spoof alien movie like an Independence Day. The movie
  is very cold and dark and you really get the feeling that this isn’t going to work out for anybody in the end.
  Now, my only complaint happens in the last few minutes of the movie. I don’t want to give it away but let’s just say that these last few frames keep this from being a classic in my opinion.

Movie War of the Worlds (2005)

Even though War of the Worlds is a great movie and I enjoyed watching it very much, I was not happy with the fact that Tom Cruise played the leading role. I did not think the character of Ray Ferrier was portrayed as believable and may have been better ...

War of the Worlds 2 Movie

I knew exactly what I was getting into when I rented War of the Worlds 2, but I rented it anyway. The movie isn't exactly a sequel to the Tom Cruise movie, but more a sequel to the book. They do try to replicate some of the alien creatures ...

War of the Worlds (Movie 2005)

This is an interesting film to watch for the first time as you just want to see the outcome. To want to watch this movie more than once is strictly an individual experience, as I found that it does not have what it takes to hold me glued to ...

Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds (2005)

The Steven Spielberg remake of the famous War of the Worlds 1953 movie was downright disappointing. The movie borders on awful, and really doesn't come through. Despite the good cast, it was poorly directly and badly written. While the original movie was inspiring and filled with tension, ...
