So who's seen it yet? Not really a bad movie. Tom plays a normal guy in this, he doesn't really do much action hero type stuff. It's also pretty damn dark, people get fed into alien threashers and spit out like bloody mulch. It's not really graphic, but still a damn cool idea. Gay, gay ending, though. And most of the dialogue sucks ass, too.

The movie follows the basic plot of the book (hero wanders about observing Martians killing stuff). They did add some elements, such as making him divorced with two kids and having him take a more active part in the action.

This movie is about Scientology, so I refuse to see it.

Besides, now I already know the ending, so yay.

That isn't the ending. That is just what some black man tells you so you actually have some idea on why the fuck the movie just ended. The ending is an abrupt pile of shit filled with cliches out the ass with his family. The movie was decent until the end.

It's not a spoiler if the story has been around for 70 years.

That's like saying, "OMGZ don't tell me how many dwarves there are in Snow White."

Except the number of dwarves is right in the title.

Yes, the book has been around for a long time, but that doesn't mean everyone's read it. Nor should it, because not everyone is going to like reading faggoty books about faggots. Not everyone is going to read every book ever. And now I don't even need to read the book, now that I know the ending.

And the movie is new, and you're in the movie forum. You wanna talk about the book? There's another forum for that. And even there, you wouldn't spoiler major plot points of your gay alien book.

It's a spoiler as much as telling how Dorothy off the Wicked Witch of the West at the end of The Wizard of Oz. I mean, if you didn't already know what happened to all the aliens at the end of War of the Worlds, even having not read the book or whatnot, you're missing a huge chunk of American pop culture trivia.

I refuse to watch this movie, because the local "We play what we want" radio station is using subtley disguised brainwashing to make me want to go see it (since everyone else is, and what a great idea for Independance Day weekend). Which just pushes that wannabe nonconformist button in my head.

I just got back from the movie and thought it was fucking great. If you wanna see a really solid action/survival movie with amazing special effects and sound, then this is your movie. Yes, the ending is a typical cheesy as hell Spielberg ending, but other than that this movie does nothing but entertain. Go in knowing that and you'll have a great time.

Get on with the times, Guitar Woman.

Desptie Tom Cruise being a pedophile and a whack, I've alway had a lot of respect for him AS AN ACTOR. I give this movie a 7, the ending almost ruined it for me. But I give it a 10 for the fun factor.

I saw this today. I liked it a lot. The special effects were amazing and I was at the edge of my seat all the way to the end.
The ending was cheesy and it was so damn sudden that it left a WTF feeling as I left the theater. I mean, there were people blowing up to pulp and suddenly its like BAM! All the aliens died and everyone lived happily ever after the end go away

I tend to think that the machines that were already placed underground sucked ass. I think the origanal movie was alot better... Tripods.. how gay.. The rest of the movie was simply ok.. I'd rather see the original movie.

Huge lumbering war machines that vaporize people are better than stupid-looking flying saucers.

I've seen it for the second time a couple nights ago. I really enjoy it. About that ending, though. That ending is perfect for 70, or even 20 years ago. I understand what Stevie was trying to do here, and he didn't do such a bad job re-interpreting an orignal story.

But problem with retelling the story is. Today, if WE could figure out what is on Mars, and tell if it could kill us in only a couple thousand years. The Martians could do the same thing, too. Especially if they were watching us for such a long time. That's what always bothered me about the story.

Dakota Fanning pissed me off for the first half of the movie. Too many fucking questions.
