War of the Worlds
Dude shoved a grenade in an aggressively pulsing alien vagina — what a climax!
Crazy 👱♂️ skipped 5 stages
Acting, writing, and characters were all bad. I’ve never wanted children dead so badly.
last 🎬 I watched a brother leaves his sister and feels terrible, this bro doesn’t.

War of the Worlds
It had a good premise but the children were more annoying than useful and a series of bad choices really ruined the movie

War of the Worlds
Rated: 7.1/10 ⭐️
Revisiting Spielberg’s intense, hyper-realistic alien invasion. I honestly forgot how terrifying this gets; the pure panic completely blew me away.
What Worked:
• Keeping the camera tight on one family’s view honestly makes the chaos feel super personal.
• The giant Tripods moving like creepy ballet dancers look incredible and totally pop.
• Fanning brings a raw energy that completely sells the terror for me.
The Friction:
• The Harlan Ogilvy basement part really dragged for me when things ground to a halt.
• Cruise starts off too unlikable, making it hard to root for him early on.
Verdict:
Watch for a dark sci-fi ride. Skip if frantic screaming annoys you.
