War of the Worlds [Spoilers]

[Adam Y.]

The end was wrapped up way to fast. I mean, one minute these things are on their way to destroying mankind (and everything mankind has built) and are unstoppable the next they are being brought down by a canon sitting on a soldiers shoulder? And the whole reason is some microbes or something like that?

Yeah but that's how the story ended in the original. The aliens die of the common cold. The end.

I was a little bothered how the family was completely unharmed at the end. The neighborhood was perfect, the people looked perfect, everything. Didn't make much sense to me.

Another part of the story. I need to read the whole story again but the family does survive intact their too.

I thought the movie was an example of fantastic sound effects.

But that was about it.

Oh, and it really made me want to play half life 2 through again.

Agreed, Combine = Tripods.

I saw the first showing at my movie theatre (though it was rather inadvertant) and I thought the movie was great. However annoying Racheal was, the acting was really superb. I really enjoyed the grenade scene because it showed how something so small could bring down something so big.

I loved the movie. Now it wasn't the scariest movie I have ever seen, but there was some times were I did jump a little bit. As for the ending, I was confuzed a little bit but then i realized how they were able to kill them. I thought that was awesome. And for those that think that this movie only has good sound effects....go watch Barney because this movie had it all. I give it two thumbs way up.

I love the everyman perspective of the movie and the intensity is great but the ending feels tacked on. My wife complained bitterly about it.

It was a good movie inderpendantly but it doesn't follow the original to anything.... i dont remember bazookas and modern cars in the 1920s

The ending was a bit disappointing, although I do understand that that was not up to spielberg... but being a fan of tom cruise i thoroughly enjoyed the movie!!! (although i don't think i'll be watching it again for a while) lol...i would recommend it to any sci-fi lover!

I enjoyed this movie very much. I saw this about a month ago with some of my family (me being the only chick...Oye) The parts that needed to be suspenseful were suspenseful to the max, and the way it was put together was great.

Sure, some parts were unrealistic, like when Ray and his family got away from the water attack without being noticed, and how Robbie survived. But it was extremely well done. One of the most action- and suspense-filled movies I've seen.

I saw it with by friends a while ago and it was pretty thought provoking, like, what was the deal with those blood-root things? were they trying to terraform the earth? But I can see how the aliens could overlook the microbes etc, We humans can only see them with the help of microscopes and the like ourselves, If they're observing us from space, it'd be even harder for them to see 'em, on account of how far away they are. but anyway, The movie was awesome, and I can't wait to see it again...

I love it when people collapse into litterboxes
