    Why didn't y'all tell me War of the Worlds SUCKED??

    Oh my god.

    I'm only glad I payed for a matinee. What a piece of crap movie that was.

    Great effects, decently cast, lots of suspense...and then the ending goes right down the shitter.

    Just my opinion, but that stank.

    I take it you had never read the original?

    I thought it was outstanding. Absolutely great flick. And very faithful to the original H.G. Wells novel in a lot of ways.

    Heh.

    Two friends of mine warned me that the film is 'unwatchable'...

    Don't blame Spielberg for the ending, blame Wells.

    Yeah, I know. I even remember it from the original movie. It just seemed to be better paced than the remake.

    It was like, 2 hours of the Earth getting it's ass kicked and like 1 minute of "oh, yeah, they're dead now."

    No wonder Tom Cruise has been acting like a ninny. At least Katie's movie was good.

    that ending is lame in any form.

    Remember League of Extraordinary Gentlemen 2 anyone?
