JMF2K's Almost happy review: "War Of The Worlds"!
Steven Spielberg: "Now everyone looks miserable.....Action!"
 Hello,
 Taking a little break from the Jam stuff, I went and mildly enjoyed the touted first REAL Summer 2005 big budget movie feast: Steven Spielberg's reretelling of the classic H.G. Wells hiccup "War Of the Worlds" . Well, if Tom Cruise's recent weird behavior was to drum publicity for this lumpy movie, then it didn't really deserve it. I mean "War Of the Worlds", set in modern times, only really delivers outstanding Special Effects and AMAZING Sound. I mean, at some parts, when the alien Tripods (Which actually look like Video Camera Tripods!) scour the cityscape for humans to blast into a fine pink powder (I just knew human remains would come out as a good artist medium...hehe), the seats in the theatre literally SHAKE, which the coolest sensation I have had a movie since the last time I fell down the aisle at a IMAX film. Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning were only one-dimensional characters, barely having moments to breathe, hide, run, scream, sweat, bitch and cry there way to safety that in turn leads to more expected peril. Tim Robbins makes a cameo as a wacked survivalist wacko who ends up deadm, a waste of talent in this role. Overall, it felt like a brisk 2 hours movie, but the script could have been a little better written, I think they took the clique' premise of a intolerant divorcee father and stretched it as far as they could. Anyway, I give Steven Spielberg's consective 2nd floppy movie a marginal 2 1/2 bags of overbuttered popcorn out of a possible 5. Thanks for reading and I hope you have a better time seeing this movie than I did! Peace!
Sincerely,
JamiroFan2000
