War of the Worlds only battles with viewers interest.
Based on the classic sci-fi novel; War of the Worlds is somewhat limited by design. Characters are left as shells, and the ongoing threat never is really addressed with any rhyme or reason.

A thrill-ride with a crappy ending. Could have been a 9 with a less stupid and less hasty ending (and perhaps not so humanoid-like aliens).

Good special effects, but once again Tom Cruise plays a character with the depth of personality of a potato. Whether this movie is about humanity's best or worst tendencies under stress, it is painful to contemplate.

Critic seems to like it, but to me it was just a bunch of aliens coming and killing everybody during the whole movie, until a stupid end.

Neat visual effects. Cruise and family must be the luckiest people to survive all their obstacles - over the top.

Not horrible, but not good. Predictable, sappy ending.

Overly exaggerated acting (if you could call it that). This was just one of those movies that revolved around special affects, and used acting to fill the gaps. Although the effects really were neat, they did not carry the film.

This was a really exciting and entertaining movie....until you watch the last ten minutes of it.

Between my dislike of tom cruise, the poor acting and average special effects this wasn't a very good film.

Are you telling me than during an alien invasion that is destined to distroy the world, the most interesting story is a bad father and his two kids? Cool special effects but a worthless story.

Not a fan of this movie nor the book. This one is of Spielberg's weaker films. I rather watch Pacific Rim.

Guess the overacting was appropos given this was a cataclysmic alien invasion, but when the supposedly hyper-advanced super sophisticated beings show up as naked savages suspension of disbelief ends.

In my personal opinion, I think this is not as good in Independence Day in some ways, better in some ways. Overall, this film doesn't have the suspense Independence Day had or even the realism. I'm giving this film a solid mixed review of 6/10

Terrible casting and terrible script what could have been at least the CGI holds up somewhat today.

This is one boring action flick and one of Spielberg's worst efforts. Throw in the wooden Cruise and this is a movie not worth investing your time in.

Exciting alien invasion drama, Tom Cruise's acting was meh, but it had a brilliant atmosphere, aand lots of plot holes. The ending was a bit weird. Not in the good way. I give it a 5-6.
