War of the Worlds, the big boy of the summer movies this year, is done now. It did what we expected: the movie theater was rocked by the attack of the giant robots.
It wasn't a masterpiece, though. Tom Cruise sucks, to be honest, and the plot was from the Swiss cheese department. Until about half of the movie it was ok, but then went over the limit. The end was simply horrible.
I think the ending (a mandatory Hollywood syrup ending) was the biggest problem. I think the movie needed a sad with glimpse of hope kind of ending. Anyway - the robots rock and the movie is worth seeing for them, but I wouldn't pay full price for this one.

It looks awful! I hated Independence Day, so I'm sure I'd hate this.
