I saw it last night. I usually try to defend a movie and pick out the good bits, but my fierst words as the credits rolled were 'that was shit'. I didn't enjoy it, I didn't get into it. I agree with every single point (positive and negative) made by MeBeJedi. One other thing though that he missed - they made this huge deal out of nothing electrical working, even Super-Tom's cell phone, then in the next scene there is a guy filming the tripod on his video camera!!! Maybe he got the Super-Mecahnic who fixed the car that Tom steals to fix the camera too.
And I personally found Dakota Fanning to be irritating. I was hoping she would get zapped by an alien, but obviously that was never going to happen. Spielberg - I am very disappointed in you. Everybody disses George Lucas but his last film was better than yours.
Signs told the same story much better. If Signs had included a few shots of tripods and the bacteria ending, it could have been called War of the worlds and would have been a far better take on the story.


i agree with your last point about signs, its still one of the best first 45 mins i have ever seen in a movie.

Yeah, you're right, there are many smaller "keys" in between.

Though the same is true between Britain and Ireland, right? Aren't there a bunch of small islands inbetween?


No, there's not. There are a few Islands here and there off the cost of England, but they don't spread across the sea to Ireland.
And there are a few points where the sea lies directly between Enland and Ireland without Wales getting in the way, so you're all right.
Splendid Isolation, it's what kept Britain great back in the day.

Now, surely this belongs in the long bridge club thread?
