It was lame :(
FUCK
It was a fucking waste >:(
-
3 of my friends today saw it and said it was just decent, nothing spectacular like it was hyped up to be.
-
whats it supposed to be about?
-
It's based off of a book by H.G. Wells. Back in the twenties or thirties they read this story over the radio about aliens invading the earth and it freaked out half the East Coast.
The movie, from what I understand, is based on the same thing, just in modern day times.

Yep the radio thing was done by the great Orson Wells
-
but in the movie doesnt the stuff actually happen?

I just saw it. Good movie, very well done. It's an action flick. Get over it.
Dakota Fanning is already one of the greatest actors around, and she's only 11. She upstaged Tim Robbins and Tom Cruise in their own fucking movie. The most memorable scene and most poignant part of the whole movie was just a camera shot of her face and the expression her eyes conveyed looking out the back window of a car. Worth watching just to see her amazing performance, I don't know how at 11 she's so in touch with human emotions to convey shit like that, it's just incredibly intelligent acting.

Not even Dakota Fanning could save this movie ;D it was doomed from the script. I expected more of plot even an ending :'(
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy still owns 2005 :D
*The pic in my sig is from the BET Awards, Will and wife are the host.

This movie was really tite, I don't know what the hell the problem was with it. What were you guys expecting from it? It was extremely intense. The only gay part was the ending imo.
-
Alot of people were disappointed by the movie because they bought the hype. I really enjoyed it.
To everyone that was disappointed, I wanna know what were you expecting out of a basic invasion/disaster movie that was based off a book?
-
It was dope! If the ending pissed you off..go read the book...and it makes sense.
Real good movie, i enjoyed it.
-
I dont know if a bad review from an enya fan is that credible to action film watchers.
-
the movie really sucked... not only because of the ending, but because of the way it was structured...
#################SPOILER##################
1. In the beginning, all electronic and mechanical equipments were "disabled", but still somehow a tft-videocamera worked
2. For some reason, tom cruises character was the only one who knew how to fix the car, and he wasn’t even a mechanic
3. For some reason, tom's character knew that he only had a little time left to pack his bags before something big would happen, he also knew that he only had a couple of seconds left for it to happen by the time he stole the car.
4. The flashes obviously stopped all electric and mechanical equipments, including every car on the road. For some reason though each car either stopped to the far left side of the road or to the far right side, creating a path just big enough for their car to pass through....
and the real story haven’t even started yet.... i can write down a lot more stuff, but yall see my point... i don’t like movies that questions my intelligence and my ability to store different factors provided by the story
-
How bout how there were windows in the basements?

dude,ithink your nitpicking a little. You could point shit like that out in any movie. I admit though the camera thing was gay. But hey we all have our own opinions. oh and he did have a motor in his kitchen so maybe he knew a thng or two about motors holmes ;D
-
Basements have windows sometimes. You're telling me a window high on the wall of a basement just above ground level is unbelievable? Come on man. I've lived in several houses with windows in the basement like that.
-
Maestro you sir are dumb, remember when the guy was video taping? he dropped the cam but it was still taping? teh cameras still worked obviously, the mechanic thing was fuckin obvious, look at his fuckin kitchen obviously he knew something, only problem I had was the path for the van and the van staying intact even when fuckin airplanes fell outta the sky...and the ending.

lol at you calling me dumb...
the camera was an electronic equipment, it should not have worked, simple as that
and yes, obviously, he knew one thing or two about cars and motors, but since he wasn’t a mechanic, that would be his HOBBY. Don't you find it strange that no fucking PROFESSIONAL mechanic could figure out the same thing he did?... that’s not only strange, that’s stupid...
i know that this aint no "IQ-exam", but its a movie based on a lot of technical factors, all i want is for them to be correct, but i don’t know... i haven’t read the book, maybe the movie was doomed from the beginning
-
Well the movie would not have flowed as well if those few inconsistensies were not allowed.

Well I'm not a 6 year old kid that watches a movie for action and special effects :P
SPOILER>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Ending of the movie you'll be like, WTF how did they die again? ;D
They just died, now go home.
Ok, fuck you Wells, Josh Friedman, Speilberg, Cruise, even Dayota Fanning and your stupid brother Tim and his fat wife and their parents oh and especially that wacko Ogilvy (30 mins in the basement was a waste of fucking time).
:-\
-
fuck this movie
what happened to good movies like scarface or boyz n the hood
-
Nit picking man.
I thought this movie was okay.
I've forgotten how they died too. All I remember was that everything changed after Tom Cruise put those grenades inside the aliens craft's asshole, lol@ that sucking thing, shit looked rude.

the signs alians weren't stupid, the picked a nice clear day to invade...it was a sunny beautiful day.... it's just that in their infinite star traveling and cloaking technology wisdom, they didn't plan on a psychic, dying preacher's wife, a 4 year old girl with a water disorder and a washed up little league baseball player
i mean how many people take into account things like that?

lol your just too damn hood for this board

You all seriously must of been expecting way too much. You wanted to nut in your pants when the credits started rolling or somethin'.

Spielberg, in my opinion, is fuckin overrated. He gets HUGE budgets for films and the only reason his movies are big is because they look good. He doesn't know jack about making a good ending, just look at AI

A.I's ending sucked because the film wasnt really Spielbergs anyway. It was Kubricks film who died during filming I think so Speilberg took over. Thats why it just goes strange because Spielberg kinda misleads the story and the film just sinks. If Kubrick woiuld of done it all it probably would of been an awesome film.
Jaws, Saving Orivate Ryan and Schindlers List all have good endings.
Jaws, the shark gets killed and the waters are now safe. The heros swim back home. Perfect ending.
Saving Private Ryan, the dude from the start moulds from an young private ryan to an old one. The salute to Capt Millers Grave is a great moment. The film ends on the American flag which helped a world overcome nazi'ism. Ryans family is there with him showing how his life was worth something and was worth saving. Great ending.
Schindlers List speaks for itself. THe desendants. Brilliant.

-
My friends seen it and say itsnuts and that i should go see it but im not into those kinda movies
its ok, but like everyone seems to be saying its nothing special. the movie is all action then all of a sudden its over... weak
-
movie was good til the ending. after all the special effects and shit the aliens just leave because their bodies cant handle all the bacteria and shit? whaCK!
-
this movie is dope,
speilberg rocks
tom rocks
fanning rocks....
-
I thought it was good, the bit where the people rush the car was harsh.
-
As allways,my advice goes like this: Read the book....or any book by H.G. Wells,for that matter. Great works.'The War of the Worlds','The Food of the Gods','The Time Machine','The Invisible Man' and of course, '1984'.
