War Of The Worlds


I just got home from watching War of the Worlds with Josh, Jennifer, and Ron. First of all, I'm amazed that I even went to see this movie since I really don't like Tom Cruise. There are a few Tom Cruise movies I enjoy though... Top Gun, Interview With the Vampire, and Collateral.

I really didn't expect much from the movie (even though Ron previewed it a few nights ago and said it was awesome). When everything is said and done, the movie wasn't bad. It wasn't the best movie, but it's something I'd definitely recommend to people who aren't familiar with the original War of the Worlds movie or books. It's at least worth one viewing.

I will admit, there are times that the movie is kind of slow (it's nearly two hours long). The special effects were nice... which is expected nowadays. In some sick and sadistic manner, I was really entertained with all of the anarchy that occurred after the aliens began attacking.

Josh summed the movie up the best... "Didn't I see this movie nine years ago, but with Will Smith?"

went to see the movie last night and it was cool. Got kinda scared though and I got so worked up by Rachel's (that stupid little girl) screaming in the movie that I swear I'd have grabbed her and shook her into some senses were I in the movie. :p
