God



I can barely sit through one movie. disbelief

BUt I did see War of The Worlds. I was shocked that Speilberg kept the story so personal. Normally world destruction movies feature UN Conferences, presidential conflict, blah blah blah. Speilberg made a very personal kind of story.

Great affects. Shit go To-up from the Flo-up in this one. thumbs up!



Four movies? disbelief

War of the Worlds was god fr the first 1:53 minutes and the last 3 minutes sucked big time cause the boy should have been dead. How he survived that big blast and found Boston from where he was.


I agree....with you there on NO-ONE from his entire family perished...THAT WAS HOLLYWOOD HAPPY ENDING BULLSHIT!

But from a "sci-fi" perspective...I think it was DEAD ON!

My brother warned me, before either of us saw the film, that's what would happen just because it was a Spielberg film. disbelief

First was War of the Worlds.....EXCELLENT!...and the ending fit quite logically....FOR ONCE!

Second was Batman Returns.....very good, dark, and pretty much dead on!

Third was Fantastic Four.....My grade would be a C+ just for the effort.

Fourth was Mr. and Mrs. Smith...entertaining with good chemistry with good wit!

Ok Bye!


I've seen them all except Fantastic Four... I liked War of the Worlds.
Batman was boring, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith was lame.

Yeah, a house that was untouched, along with the neighborhood all around it! Everyone else's homes are destoyed, and people are on the run, but Boston gets left untouched so the family can just stay comfortable where they are! rolleyes

SOME plot points here, so if ya havent seen it and don't want anything given away, skip this post.



see below.































































Still here? ok...

As good as 'War of The Worlds' was, glaring plot holes, and the ending needed another good 30 minutes exposition - everyone I went with and have spoken to since have said they were left with a '...oh, it's over then?' kinda feeling. The virus angle is more hinted at than anything, nothing is really explained as such - which for an American movie is surprising, as most of the big budget bollocks that comes out is s-p-e-l-t out usually.

As for the glaring plot holes etc:

1) Tom Cruise...the only man in the world who knows how to fix a car when everything else in the vicinity is dead.

2) Guy with a digital camcorder... (see above)

3) Guy with a digi-cam taking photos (see above)

4) When the nesting cells fall from beneath one of the Tripods, it lands ona pretty gnarly looking tree - not one person gets skewered, let alone gets any cuts or scratches... how odd.

5) The whirpool created in the river... no-one seems to get sucked into it when they fall off the ferry and into the water - odd.

etc.

Apart from that, and the fact this was the first John Williams score I was dissapointed with (talk about incidental) ...i loved it. big grin

The first hour was the best though, gripes aside. Pretty darn scarifying in places, and very realistic too.

Yes...I noticed all of this, but it is a movie and it is not for the cynical to just sit and dissect as real or fake or fodder for that matter...I would hope to go to the movies for just the entertainment factor alone. I don't wish to sit back and "look" for misguided or unintentional fuckups or oversights...you will never be entertained if that is the case.

Not to sound like a movie snob, but are overhyped big-budget films the only ones showing in your town? Indie and foreign films need love too.

They jumped out, didn't have to look for the mistakes.

I'm from Jersey and I live about 20 min from where Tom Cruise's house is in that movie so maybe this bothers me when it shouldn't but... WHY CAN TIM ROBBINS NAIL THE ACCENT BUT TOM CRUISE LOOSES IT AFTER THE FIRST 5 MIN OF THE MOVIE?

and that red church that splits open is like 10 min from his house how did he walk there that fast?
