Just saw War of the Worlds...

Definitely too long and not enough happened, but not quite as terrible as I had been led to believe by many.


Both kids were obnoxious, and I could have gone without hearing Tom Cruise sing Little Deuce Coupe in falsetto.

Also, did they really need to bring in Morgan Freeman for about 30 seconds of narration?



I also can't believe they couldn't kill someone in the family, not Robbie, not even the damn grandparents.

And germs? That's how they died? How lame is that - how does that even help me if I ever have to fight aliens?



the best part was probably the basement scene with the mechanical arm. a pretty good horrorish movie could probably made in which 8 people start in a basement and the mechanical arm comes looking for them one by one.

anyway, not a particularly good movie, but I don't feel like I wasted two hours of life either.
