I saw the WOTW movie today - here is my take on it - and I am not one to offer a criticism usually about movies - but, here goes....
Remakes must die - I wont pay to see another remake this year - I already knew the story of the aliens and the common cold from the original, so, I kept wondering why I even wasted my time - speilberg did a lot of the iconic shots from the original flick - I am glad I went to see it but I could have done a better movie with no name actors if I had the budget these guys pissed away - the script had swiss cheese holes all through it but I expected that after I read a few reviews online before seeing the movie. Yes, some of the bullshit edits were jaw droppingly bad - especially the upside down truck in the pond. and yes, the son wanting to fight in the face of the apocolypse wall of death was fucking eyes rolling back into my braindead skull bad. I love the ending with the perfectly un-touched neighborhood and the entire family surviving in their dry cleaned clothes. so much for the entire rest of the movie - just give me the happy ending, everybody lives and the bad aliens are dead hollywood ending - everybody claps at the end right? one guy clapped at the end of this show - and by the way - where the fuck was the king kong trailer? I was looking forward to seeing this more than anything - it's looked tits online - we got the new cameron crowe trailer and that made me stop eating popcorn - anyone who would put a cameron crowe trailer in front of the biggest summer blockbuster sci fi flick should be shot and gutted for the rats - idiots!!!
I hoep this review was helpful - dont waste your time - dont rent it either - go see batman begins and enjoy a real movie - brilliant!!!
