I really liked WOTW. I'll admit it's far from perfect, but still rather enjoyable. It's close to being the most visually stunning movie I've ever seen, if not tops. The introduction of the first tripod and the horn it blasts was really f'ing cool. Also, I was somewhat surprised at the amount of restraint Spielberg used. It didn't seem overly Spielberg-ized like his recent outings, which I hated. I didn't like the story holes, the ending was very anti-climactic, and the movie sort of takes a dive when Tim Robbins shows up, but still, it didn't ruin the experience for me. Yeah, the film misfires on a few levels, but it also does some things I've never seen before. And it's far better than a lot of other stuff I've seen recently.
