War of the Worlds

[Bevvy Swift]

i fucking hate tom cruise, but he actually did a good job imo. this movie was very entertaining. anyone else seen it?

[mojo]

his son should have died...stupid spielberg.

but i liked it as well.

[Bevvy Swift]

i know. thats exactly what i was thinking.

[Bevvy Swift]

now that you speak of it, actually, tom should have died too

[maztraz]

I'VE SEEN THIS MOVIE THIS SUMMER AND IT IS PURE


CRAP

I ALMOST WANTED TO ASK FOR REFOUND THAT IT SO BADLY SUCKED..SERIOUSLY

[Bevvy Swift]

i never said it was intelligent, i said it was entertaining. but i think it was poorly named. it was hardly about the war, so much as about the family

the movie is pure eye boggling... the special fx are intense.

I hate the ending tho... what's bird shit go to do with it? scientology b.s that's what. otherwise good movie.

[Two_Six]

I also found it entertaining, but i didn't like the ending. The special effects were awesome. I'd watch it again, but that's about it. I found the book alot more interesting.

[maztraz]

I know man...

The thing is its not even entertaining..

If you I were to describe that movie, I would call it the result of pure Hollywood American media

No Stories
Just look how strong the military message is in the movie.
The power of invasion(Terrorist attack).
Weidly reprensenting the world(During Attacks)
Really strong american political message

Actualy I not even supprise that this kind of movie come out anymore....Just look at most medias in America and that movie are strongly related
(Constructing a subconscious america of threat)

It might sound like bullshit, But if you don't think movie like those don't have that message I wonder how you even have the pleger of watching movies if you can't understand them....

sometimes a movie is just a movie. you don't always have to look for underlying secret messages, especially in a film like this. not everything has to change your life to be worth your two hours. i suggest you stop over analyzing everything before you give yourself an ulcer.

That's the thing tho... most fantasy, sci-fi flicks are direct reflection of what's really happenign in the world. George Lucas admited it during the making of the Star Wars prequels and its one of the reasons why LOTR movies were so popular...

I think Maztras is right, WOTW movie kinda rubs the war on terror thing right in your face.

Gusto:
:D
Yeah..Its true I tend to over analyse everything...
(Not always in a bad way, so it is a good thing also)
I know movie is just movie..I am only speaking of understand them cause thats what movies are made for, but in this case there was no story thats why it came to my eyes so quickly..And so understanding the rotten message(So there was one)

I doubt it will chance anyones lifes, paper doesn't get wet with only one drope of water :P

[frankie_V]

this movie was bullshit... stra8 up bullshit... stopped watching it halfway... i just cant stand movies like these

it was pretty cheesy that his son survived, but I honestly think this movie was a decent one overall, it is, however, seriously overshadowed by it's deviations from the book. but the sense of dread and hopelessness was pretty palpable throughout the movie, it was one of those movies where you know the main character has to survive, but you seriously don't know HOW they will
