Just seen it, very entertaining, the effects and tension are top-notche with desperation and madness potrayed well in it. It ends a bit abruptly for me but the film is well worth seeing none the less.
I'd give it about 8/10
Anyone else seen it?

Re: War of the Worlds: opinions
How suitable is it for kids? The Daily Mail said the violence was so bad that taking your kid there would be child abuse, but the US newspaper reviews I've read on the net don't mention the violence as a problem. My son is a mature and robust nine years old, watched Jurassic Park when he was two (don't ask!) and can handle most things. I trust Spielberg to present violence in a "responsible" way but I'd be interested in what people who've seen the film think.

Re: War of the Worlds: opinions
The Violence isn't too bad, a few bits which could be seen as a bit disturbing for children.
For me the only scene which scared me a little is when Cruise and his kids a dragged out a car by a mob who a are desperate to get out of a backwater town. Mob madness scares me man.
I really don't think it would scare a child to be honest but I been watching sick and violent films since i was a nipper so don't take my word for it!
Re: War of the Worlds: opinions

Re: War of the Worlds: opinions
It was a good movie - 8/10 is pretty accurate. If youve seen the first one, dont expect any surprises. And no, it wasnt violent.

"I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."

It was awful. See the original if you want to see a good movie.

Someone said that the movie started out good but later became like 'AI'. I wonder what that means. I didn't watch the movie.

Re: War of the Worlds: opinions
AI was an over sentimental, boring sci fi movie, which may be what that person means, though I'm probably incorrect.

Re: War of the Worlds: opinions
Yeah AI was very sentimental.
I hope to see this movie tomorrow

Re: War of the Worlds: opinions
The movie was good, but it kind-of has a pointless plot...
Re: War of the Worlds: opinions
Its an alright film. Pretty decent action sequences, not too many special effects. However:
It felt far too short.
It stunk of Independace Day.
If I had a daughter like Tom Cruise's in the film, I think I'd have pushed her into the the sights of one of the tripods. She is infuriating and was more like a robot (albiet a very screechy, irritating one) than a child.
The (family story) ending made me want to wretch. So all-American.
Cowardice is to run from the fear;
Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
But to hold the line anyway.
Re: War of the Worlds: opinions
I agree about the girl, i liked her in Man on Fire but jesus was she annoying in this! The screams were driving me insane
