Re: War of the Worlds [Spoilers]
*spoilers, sorta*
I really didn't think it was that scary. Signs brought out the xenophobe in me for weeks, but I think I had a pretty good idea of what to expect going into War of the Worlds and that's what I got. I hate basement scenes though, and it seemed like they were in a basement for half the movie. Also, I didn't think the ending was all that weak; it seemed about as plausible and as fast-paced as the rest of the movie. If anything I think the large battle between the army and the aliens was the weakest point. It really broke the sense of helplessness that was the film had going for it. After that scene the movie was over for me. I think I just went in with impossible expectations like I always do for sci-fi films. Now if they had fought that big battle in a basement, that would have been creepy...
