I finally watched part of the War of the Worlds today, the new one

[Grateful11]

I just finished it. I too thought it was okay. So many people are hung up over Tom
Cruise that they can't get past it to enjoy the movie. I thought you folks hated the
news media? Just watch movies like this as Entertainment and nothing more. No
different than "Day After Tomorrow" pure entertainment, I liked it better by the way.

>SPOILER: So um, these aliens studied our planet for how many thousands of years,
fly across the galaxy, attack us with weapons of mass destruction and don't have the
smarts to develop apparatus to avoid germs? Crap.

SPOILER: That's basically what happened in the original '53 version too.

The son was by far the most annoying.
