war of the worlds, a must see this summer? Options

[*xcaitlinx*]

ahhh..i'm so excited! war of the worlds came out into theaters yesterday. i've been waiting months to see it. whenever i saw previews for it on TV or at the movies, i always think that it's going to be an awesome movie.

are you going to see war of the worlds? i might go see it today...

[*nightmare4taki*]

Im going to go try to see it Friday. The trailers look promising so I hope its good.

[Kenado]

I wanna see it!! but not by myself my friend said she's never seen a scary movie in theaters...

[*mzkandi*]

The reviews that I have read on it are mostly bad. I have no interest in seeing it.

[*reflection*]

i heard its not that good but i'll probably see it

[xbr0kensmil3]

i really wanna see that movie. hopefully i'll go today.

[lilliannnn]

I saw it. It was amazing. You all should see it. You can't even tell that the aliens/spaceship/machine/things are computerized. And Tom Cruise = awesome.GO SEE IT!

[xquizit]

yes! because I LOVE dakota fanning. she's so precious.

[iheartjohn]

I don't care for Tom Cruise, but Dakota Fanning is such a good actress.

[heyyfrankie]

yeah. i really want to see it. i just hope that it isnt one of those movies where i am so excited to go see it and after i do, i think "that wasn't that great"

[Jorge]

Like the others, I'm not quite fond of Mr TC, but DF is so cute.

[technicolour]

EDIT!

THIS MOVIE IS FLIPPING AWESOME! definately a must see! a good alien movie. Tom Cruise was great. Dakota, oh she's darling. She should win an oscar. And Robbie. but he was great!

[*mipadi*]

I've heard that it's a really good movie--very well done. I'm interested in seeing it. I'm a big fan of Tom Cruise.

[lilliannnn]

Oh yes, Dakota Fanning was simply amazing. She's so young and you wouldn't think she would be that talented.

[5ayuri]

I want to watch this movie so bad!!! It came out yesterday (my brothers b-day) and I hope to see it before it comes out on DVD.

[*StanleyThePanda*]

yes! because I LOVE dakota fanning. she's so precious.

oh my gosh yeah! she is an amazing actress, especially for her age, she is better than alot of older actresses too.

War of the Worlds, I saw it yesterday, its AMAZING, the graphics are awesome and I liked it alot alot!
I didnt used to like tom cruise, but now that I've seen that movie I think he is alright, I dont find him attractive though, lol
but his son in War of the Worlds, is good looking!
its a great movie....go see it!!! haha

[SillyCourtney]

I want to see it soo badly! I'm probably going on Friday or Saturday to see it.

[lilliannnn]

but his son in War of the Worlds, is good looking!

Yeah, Robbie. He was hot.

[Fallen Fairy]

I plan to go see it.
I had to read that damned book so I might as well watch it.
I'm excited to see it.

fallen fairy

[teeners4]

i saw it last nite....

it seemed to be making a mockery of humans.... if you think about it

[*Azarel*]

I'm skipping it; I'm not particularly crazy over the fighting sort of stuff, and reading the other posts in this thread, there's a book. And books > movies. So I might just read it.

[AngryBaby]

I read the book in school, saw the movie yesterday i thought it was good, i read good reviews the lowest i saw it get was three stars. The only con in the movie is that it ended kinda abrubtly, but.... thats how the book ended so you cant be mad at steven. but i still liked it. it was better than book i think. u shouldnt always go by reviews though. thats just a few people opinions out of millions,they can give 5 stars to a horrible movie and 2 stars to a good one. and it can be vice versa on another paper.

and i dont think it made a mochery of humans, cause i think thats exactly what we would do in that situation.

if u dont see it think ur missing out on a good movie

[vampireduster]

I am going to see it probably this weekend with people. I have been wanting to see it so badly!

[PurchasedRebelli...]

It doesn't look that good to me.

[yummy_delight]

I can't wait! It looks really promising. Tom Cruise is hot. His son in the movie looks pretty sexy. Dakota Fanning is talented up the wazoo. Steven Spielberg is directing. I must see it.

[rx_azngirl]

I'm definitely going to see War of the Worlds this summer!

[shadow117]

[COLOR=red] yeah read my review for the movie i posted it

[cookieskater2]

I thought it was pretty cool, the special effects were probobly some of the best i've ever seen. there wasn't too big of a story though, the ending was a bit dry, and they needed more explosions XD

But it was a pretty good movie. Definatly (sp?) worth seeing.

[PurchasedRebelli...]

I'm seeing it tonight. Though I'd rather see Bewitched. But hey, it's free so whatever.

[AngryBaby]

^aw, why are u so negative towards it

watch i bet u a nickle youll find it entertaining.

[PurchasedRebelli...]

I don't know, just from the previews it doesn't look that good to me. And with all the Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes news, the last thing I want to see is a Tom Cruise movie.

[AngryBaby]

well at least steven speilburg's (sp?) is directing it, that should make up for Tom right?

[ichiban]

i read the book and i didnt really like it too much, but the movie seems good so i guess ill be watching it

[emazing]

I REALLY want to see it because the press gives it such good reviews, and I've seen on the commercials that it was the best that Steven Spielberg has directed so far.

[AngryBaby]

i read the book and i didnt really like it too much, but the movie seems good so i guess ill be watching it

i thought the book sucked but the movie was good

[1--GIRL]

i heard that it was alright but the ending sucked.

[PurchasedRebelli...]

I saw it and eh. Robbie got on my nerves so much. >.< The ending was lacking. Dakota sure can act. And Tom? Eh.

[sm0kinm0nky]

I saw it yesterday, and truthfully even though I understood it.. it was not as good as I thought it would be. The ending, was horrible too. The only think I liked about the movie was the special effects - some scenes are really retarded

[*lolita kitty*]

that movie looked good. ill probably go see it ^_^

[AngryBaby]

I saw it and eh.  Robbie got on my nerves so much. >.<  The ending was lacking.  Dakota sure can act.  And Tom?  Eh.

hmm how do i know ur not lieng to keep that nickle?

your right about the ending, ya and robbie was like suicidle "dad i have to see this"
wtf

[sharerol]

Well, I don't really care if it got bad reviews or whatever. I'm interested in it.
My friend and I are seeing it this Saturday. =)

[*xcaitlinx*]

i just saw it....omg the movie was so good! the only bad thing was teh ending. ahh it sucked so bad. that ruined it for me.

i think it's soo stupid that people don't like Tom Cruise because of that stupid controversy. It's not our business, it's his personal life. Get over it, he's still a great actor and you shouldn't hold that against him!

[enyceXaddiction]

i looks SO boring. the comercial for it even made me fell asleep and the fect that tom cruise is in it makes me even borer

[*xcaitlinx*]

i looks SO boring. the comercial for it even made me fell asleep and the fect that tom cruise is in it makes me even borer

boring? it was everything BUT that. tom cruise is a great actor, i have no idea what you're talking about.

[xbr0kensmil3]

that movie was the best. tom cruise <333333333333333333. those aliens freaked me out.

[*xcaitlinx*]

that movie was the best. tom cruise <333333333333333333. those aliens freaked me out.

they freaked me out too! i was so scared the entire time...espeically when they were hiding from them with that psycho guy.

[xbr0kensmil3]

they freaked me out too!  i was so scared the entire time...espeically when they were hiding from them with that psycho guy.

oh yea. that eye or whatever it was from the aliens were freaky. and that psycho guy was scary. i wanted to see how tom cruise killed him. oh yea and at the end when that big alien or whatever threw up.. that was gross

[[Mediocre]Artist]

I'll see that movie if Tom promises to use the cash he earns to get him some GOOD drugs to calm his butt down. Until then I'm not supporting his career. Besides, it wasn't something I was interested. Aliens killing humans is so overrated.

[jr0h]

when i can find the time i will definitely try to watch it. not cause of tom cruise but because i like these sort of movies. like day after tomorrow..

[racoons > you]

i want to see it, yeah!!!

ooooooh

im gonna call ellie and kate. thanks for giving me a project. i was gonna be bored tonight

[T_R_G]

Looks like crap to me :/

[*anubis*]

saw it.

hated it.

unrealistic.

everyone in the streets dies but tom? haha. only people with a working car? just happened to have a carved path on the highway for their car to drive through smoothly?

"i have to do this dad"

what the hell?

ending sucked.

the end.

go see batman instead.

[11x11]

sounds fun

Tom had the only car BECAUSE he replaced the part that needed to be fixed. With the EMP it took out a part of a car and he replaced it. Tom ran and hid and did the right things while the other idiots on the street stood there gawking. Yes, the tennager was ignorant, but the ending was realisitc. I can't say it [the ending] but it is plausible. Get a life dude. OR go read the book.

YESSSS, and the whole thing with robby. that was a bit weird..he was probably all teenagey and angsty..so hes like I WANT TO DIE, or maybe he was just in shock?

i loved it. but i thought it ended too quickly.

[*xcaitlinx*]

robbie was a rebel and wanted to do what HE wanted. i guess he thought that if he was to die, atleast he could die trying to save the world. *shrug*

also, he said that he wanted to SEE what the aliens looked like and wanted to kill them for himself. (since he was so mad about the whole situation)

what upset me the most was how ray's (tom cruise) wife and rachel/robbies mom was UNHARMED, while all the buildings and people surrounding htem in boston were dead. i mean, it was completely unrealistic how they just opened the door and there they were. oh well. i guess they wanted to end the movie on a happy note?

[sharerol]

I just saw it today. I thought the special effects were really cool when the aliens started coming out from the ground. That was a cool scene. The rest was okay. Yeah, a lot of the scenes were pretty unrealistic, but overall, it was an enjoyable movie, and I don't care if anyone disagrees with my statement because I just wanted to put my opinion out there.

[technicolour]

Dude, I was like WTF! NO SENSE! My dad just went 'HUH?' really loud. That made no sense. The aliens like covered that place all except their town house. It made no sense. I had to scratch my head a couple of times about that one.

[iheartsimba]

I am pretty excited to see it...although I know I'm going to be scared =/
I read the shortened version in school last year (yeah I was supposed to read the book) but it was pretty good..I love that little girl in the movie, she's like my new favorite actoress XD

[ThePrincessofTKD]

i`m so lazy to go to the theaters.

It's possible that the aliens didn't get to that part of Boston yet. When Ray & Rachel first arrive in Boston, you see that the tripods stopped working on their own, because earth's harmful bacteria started killing the aliens.

Anyway, I saw this movie on Thursday... It was okay. I didn't think it was that bad, but my friends all hated it, lol.

[lbjshaq2345]

sry to say but i thought it was awful the effects are amazing but it doesnt have a good story i would recommend mr. & mrs. smith though

that's true...but all in all, it seems way too unrealistic to me.

[LiLEthiopian]

I'm really not in the mood to watch Tom Cruise for 2 1/2 hours...but I might watch it just to get a glimpse of Rick Gonzalez..

[AngryBaby]

i really dont see why people are hating on Tom so much, its kind of wierd to me to hate someone u dont even know who's not THAT bad of an actor.

but anyway, for those of u who think that this movie is just about sfx, aliens shooting people, and explosions are wrong. its about human desparation and despair and what that can do to humanity.

people that say it sucked nit pick on little technicalities of the movie and its little imperfections to make it seem like its soooo horrible. the only wierd parts are:
how robbie still lived and got to boston before anyone. i dont know if he saw those explosions and high tailed his ass back grandmas or what. but robbie still living WAS unrealistic.

but the humans actions in this movie were not exagerated once so ever. take the boat scene for example .... CRAP okay i ll be back tommorrow my dads taking the comp. and i dont feel like retyping this uz ill forget it lol wierd huh sry

[angel-roh]

I so want to watch it. But I wish it was more of Day after tomorrow than Independence day that Will Smith was in.


But I think it would be a great movie to watch, but I'm not too excited.

[*mzkandi*]

Ok actually did go so this movie and it was crap just like everyone said it would be. Not even Dakota could save the movie for me...

[soccer_gurly]

i'm going to go see it in a couple of hours!!! YAY!!! tom cruise!

[YourSuperior]

Hmm. Sounds interesting, I might go and see it.

[*anubis*]

Tom ran and hid and did the right things while the other idiots on the street stood there gawking.

they were all running. didn't you see? they all practically died BUT him--because, well, he's the "great" tom cruise.

they did nothing wrong.

the other lady got in her car ---> POOF! shes dead.

tom got in a car ---> he's alive! and the car works!

and he just happens to be the only person in all of nyc and nj with a car that has a changed battery.

[gOODpIRATE]

no. for some reason, it doesn't interst me at all.

[*Kathleen*]

All I have to say...is that all those aliens wanted was a giant maxi pad. I don't know what the big deal was.

[russell2212]

i saw it two days ago... its pretty good. im not usually a "sci-fi" type of guy, but it was pretty good. i enjoyed it.

[veve]

i really dont see why people are hating on Tom so much, its kind of wierd to me to hate someone u dont even know who's not THAT bad of an actor.

people hate tom cruise because he's a pretentious prick. have you seen his interview on the today show? his total abuse of his celebrity could cause the deaths of many. oh but of course you dont care, since all that matters is if he's a "good" actor or not.


On another note, I saw War of the Worlds (almost called it World of the Wars) .... and it was .... okay. Not one of Spielberg's greatest ..... but I have to admit that it was extremely entertaining for the most part. There are many off-key moments and many things went unexplained at the end ..... like how every electronic device in town is rendered useless yet someone uses a video camera seconds later to videotape the tripods coming out from the ground. Just a horrible plothole.

Plotholes aside, it was enjoyable ..... yet very frustrating. Dakota Fanning was horribly directed and screamed like a banshee throughout the whole movie, Robbie was horrendous, Tom Cruise did a good job with what he was given. The ending was disjointed and sloppy. I wouldn't watch it again.

[ohhbiteme]

It sounds like a really awesome movie , I wanna see it but I`m too lazy to go to the movies . Yes I`m really thhat lazy , I usually waiit like 3 months then rent it , `cause I go to thhis store &they always have the movies I wanna watch to rent . But i THINK i might go see it . My dad was supposed to be in thhat movie , as an extra . But he couldn`t be in the movie to meet up with the people `cause he had to pick me &my sister up from school -_- &Yes dakota fanning is such a talented little girl , hah i love her , her acting is great (:

[imthebunny]

The reviews that I have read on it are mostly bad. I have no interest in seeing it.

really? all the reviews ive read were good. but anyways it was a very very very good movie!! i think you should give it a try

[JlIaTMK]

My god, that movie was good.
The ending was HORRIBLE.

Wtf was up with the microorganisms and the not-being-able-to-adapt thing. Ugh, just.... not good for Hollywood. Realists, yes. Hollywood, no.

[xaznxehgix]

it's not that bad of a movie...but it's not that great either.

[HiddenSmile]

My god, that movie was good.
The ending was HORRIBLE.

Wtf was up with the microorganisms and the not-being-able-to-adapt thing. Ugh, just.... not good for Hollywood. Realists, yes. Hollywood, no.

Umm... that's how the story goes, sorry to burst your bubble, but it's been like that for some years now. I actually think it's a very creative way to wipe out "the invaders" it was very surprising to me.

It was an awesome movie and a MUST SEE!

[Teesa]

I've heard mixed reviews about it..to be honest, I never did think the movie was going to be that great. A lot of my friends saw it and they said it was good, but not up to what they thought everyone expected.

I will wait until it comes out on video.

[technicolour]

My god, that movie was good.

It's real. Frankly, I think that's better than some hollywood stupid ending.

[parallel]

I really liked that movie.
Haha. Old topic.
=P

[The-Mach-Hare]

hmmm...i know its already out, but i doubt ill see it. a lot of the movies today SUCK and i heard this one wasnt all its been hyped up about.

[rAwritsgWeg]

well most of it looks sick to me but the fact that tom cruise is in it. The reason i say that is becuz i sorta dont like himk mand hes been in so many movies that.... u know..im ge3ttin tired of him



any ways i still think it looks good

[hall0w]

im probably goin to see it because my friend said it wus really good and funny

[Gypsy Eyes]

it was amazing. the acting was good, the special effects were good, ah it was just a great movie in general

[J-DraGoNz]

I saw this movie with my gf yesterday and I was very disappointed. The beginning wasn't bad, it seemed pretty interesting. The special fx were pretty cool but halfway through the movie it just started getting kind of stupid...and the ending just killed it.

[KissMe2408]

Yah I really wanna see War Of The Worlds. It looks awesome, and plus i'm a fan of Dakota Fanning, and I think Tom Cruise is good too. So i'll def be seeing it sometime this summer, lol. When I get a chance to

[t352525]

well..... I watched this movie last week...

my feedback to it should be "errr......." and then slient.....
