What do you think of the film 'War of the Worlds' with Tom Cruise?!


Question: What do you think of the film 'War of the Worlds' with Tom Cruise!?
Just borrowed it and watched; I thought it began excellently but went downhill in the 2nd half with material becoming less imaginative and original despite great special effects!. What do others think!? I have only read bits of the book by H G Wells!.Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
Spielberg should have made it more like the book!.
Part of the original story was the contrast of technology!.
In the late 1800s the only flying machines were balloons!.

There's a low budget British version which is more accurate to the book and it's a more interesting story!.

When HG Wells was alive, he didn't like his stories being changed when made into a movie!. Spielberg had the chance and the money to do it right, but instead he went off in the wrong direction!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

To pick up on what goldenhooves1 said, I couldn't help noticing at the end, he is reunited with his whole family, minus the guy who was inconveniently married to his wife!. Poor guy, he was doomed from the start for the sake of a Speilberg ending!.

Ooh, lah de lah, happily ever after!.!.!. BLEEEARGH!!!! Yet another great sci-fi story Spielberg has ruined with saccherine coated sentimentality!.

And that bit where he is able to drive around because he changed the battery!? Wouldn't the new battery be just as fried as one that had already been in there!? Really, really dumb!.

Though I did like that scene where the tripod cracked its way up out of the sidewalk!. Couldn't fault the SFX, but even that was not nearly enough to redeem it as a whole for me!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I loved the ending - the rest was entertaining but a little meh!. The special effects were great - but you need more than effects to make a movie!.

The book is brilliant!. And the original War of the Worlds movie is good!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Tom Cruise went close to ruining it + I believe the film focused far too much on the family relationship which although was important was not the main focus of the movie!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Would've been a better film without Bum Cruise!. If it had people you hadn't really heard of, it could've created the impact that Cloverfield did!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
