WAR OF THE WORLDS(2005)
What a fucking mess!! First things first, there was no need to
re-make an already perfect movie! Secondly, who the fuck thought
it would be a good idea to have a fucking brat of a kid scream
throughout the whole said movie! This was a waste of celuloid! F-
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
Ray Ferrier (Tom Cruise) is a divorced father with daughter
Rachel (Dakota Fanning) and angry teenager Robbie (Justin
Chatwin). Then a strange storm appears with numerous intense
lightning. Suddenly machines rise out of the ground to destroy
mankind.
Director Steven Spielberg uses all his tech skills to create
great CGI of this H.G. Wells vision. It looks great. There
are great individual scenes like the train. Tom Cruise is
good as a father looking out for his family. But a couple
of things keep coming back to nag at me. The kids are a bit
too much to take. I'm willing to take Dakota Fanning screaming
at everything, but I can't take the annoying rebellious teen.
The constant fighting with the father is so petty and so
childish. The family melodrama just diminishes the scale of
the movie. Then there is the change of the origins of the
alien machines. It is simply a stupid idea from Spielberg
to be different. There is no reason for it. Worst it makes
the movie questionable. And the blood idea just adds to the
silliness of the story. These are changes for the sake of
changing without improving anything. - SnoopyStyle
