war of the worlds
 

I just saw that movie, i have never seen anything dumber. I want 90 minutes of my life back. correction, with the commercials in the beginning it's over 2 hours :(

spectacular effects,
week on the plot,
scene in the last house/basement got boring,
very fast "victory" with no real power advantage against aliens - nature did everything.

I was'nt too bad
 

Quite good effects the Batman film was much better IMHO

yeah but Batman Begins is much better than any film this year, 'cept Cinderella Man.........those two are the best so far

King Kong
 

The trailer for King Kong looked amazing. Fantastic effects from the little i saw.

I had a post to it a week ago.

KING KONG TRAILER

yes
 

But it looks way cool on the big screen. Some great T Rex CGI

i havent heard a good review yet about WOTW
but ya, Batman was kickass, just saw that one a couple weeks ago :)

Glad I saw Batman instead.

spoiler...okay maybe I'm sot suppose to watch that film

I'd still give it a try.

I'll repeat my review on this thread to save some folks their money and time.

OK, just got back from War of the Worlds.

Overall, I think that was the worst movie Spielberg has ever made. What a waste of 2 hours.

The screenplay was a total botch job. The storyline was utterly ridiculous and choppy.

Acting sucked. That little girl should win the Oscar for Most Annoying STFU Kid in a Film. God damn shut up already with the canned lines.

This was Tom Cruise at the level of time to hustle anonther $20 Mil instead of being an actor. A true actor would never have taken this role after reading the screenplay for it.

The special effects were epic, but overkill in so many scenes.

The military in this movie was completely hookie.

There were lots of weird characters in this film. A lot of dark meaning also to many scenes which I think most people won't get unless you were looking behind the lines and scenes.

The ending was as stupid as they come and a total sputtering let down.

One of the main problems the film lacked a hero. Cruise was a putz, a divorced loser who was trying to win respect from his nerd son, who was also terribly cast, and trying to get his kids through the ordeal.

There was no bad guy in the film, just a bunch of aliens you'll swear you've seen before in some other sci-fi film and I bet anything they were re-used ones.

I rate this move a big fat ZERO on a 1 to 10.

It really sucked.

It was fun to watch :thumbsup

both those movies were complete garbage too, there haven't been good movies for a very very long time

very interesting remarks

:smokin

I saw it last night, complete garbage. That is two bad movies in a role. The last one was Land of The Dead, GARBAGE movie.

at least land of the dead is 18a, has some bloodshed

Ok I'll break the bad streak here and say I liked it. I almost didn't go check it out after I read this post.

However I went and check it out anyway. Overall I thought it was pretty good, keeps yea on the edge of your seat if nothing else. I will say the ending was a little weak.

I don't think there was supposed to be a hero in the movie, I think the basic plot of the movie was the guy trying to save his kids.

War of the worlds was an average film. I thought the story got slow at times. The ending was stupid.

shame to read bad reviews - was looking forward to watching it.

What did you expect, stupid fucks? I'm shure you did not read the original book, huh?

i thougth it was ok tyou can't expect much out of the ordinary hollywood bs with Tom Cruise in it

i will still go see it tonight

stop the crap, its a good movie

Was it really $100 million on its opening week? I've seen not really that exciting.

the movie was disastrous thanks to TOM CRUISE's publicity stunts.

It was stupid and sucked wind bigtime. There was even a decent looking chick in the film for christ's sake. At least give us a babe.

Sounds like you guys are all brainwashed into wanting a "typical " Hollywood
product. You're not happy unless there is a "HERO" with "angelic children" and
a warm fuzzy ending to the film.

I liked War of the Worlds.
It surely wasn't as cute as ET :repuke

"War of the Worlds" was a dark and realistic depiction of an instant horrorific holocaust. Cruse played a regular and simple kind of guy, with spoiled fucked up kids.

Great acting ? No.

Spielberg's fantasy films overshadow any actor. And of course Cruse took the part for the money, wouldn't you?
"Shindlers List" has been the only Spielberg film that allowed actors to actually act.

"War of the Worlds" keeps you on the edge of your seat like a rollercoaster, then the holocaust suddenly ends as it began, you're left sitting there in your seat sharing the same thoughts as Tom Cruse's character "Ray",,
F.U.C.K. !! Now what?

The film was intended to shock you, not fill you full of "warmth and hope" as the end of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind".

Sounds like the film shocked alot of you for the simple fact it didn't look like, or end like, anything Spielberg has ever done.
He should get credit for that alone.

ending was a little weak? what were you watching? the perfect storm?

hey you gave your opinon and I gave mine.. If you hated it so bad why did you even wait for the ending?

major disappointment considering its spielberg...batman begins is better except for katie holmes acting...which is amateur...

I agree with KRL

yeh same here the movie is good till the end - the basment part was the best of the movie with that snake thingy.

the movie was just a remake....it was ok...cool effects and stuff, but that´s all.

Listen to the old radio broadcast that was done of War of the Worlds, during the Red Scare if I remember correctly. It's actually pretty good.

I liked War of the worlds it has amazing special effects..

War of the worlds was good, aside from the end, it was worth my money

I guess I wont spend my time to go for this one.. :pimp
