i also enjoyed this movie, i thought it was cool. to the guy that did not understand the conflict between cruise's character and his son and the whole yankees hat vs. redsox hat..sigh...it was clear that his son did not like him, so when he put on the redsox hat, that was just a kick in the pants so to speak.

i'm glad they did not have tom cruise pwn up the aliens at the end..THAT would have been cheesy!

i did not know that the story was written in 88 and did not know the ending, and i do not think that i am alone there. however if i really cared about knowing what the ending was then i wouldnt have clicked this thread as that is just a bad idea to begin with. i really dont care that much but i do find posting the ending to be very inconsiderate.

it's at least 50 years past the date when the ending of 'war of the worlds' is a spoiler. it's only one of the most famous stories in modern literature/film/radio and has been copied (see 'signs') numerous times. if you don't know the ending you really haven't been paying attention since, well, the day you were born. and if somehow you don't already know, then don't click on the damn link.

This just in...Jesus was crucified, and the Titanic sank. Guess "The Passion of the Christ" and "Titanic" are ruined for you now, too...

wish i could remember where it was posted, probably just a prank but someone commented on "The Passion of the Christ" and said something to the extent of how much the movie sucks because the main character dies.

I can't believe how many people really enjoyed this movie. A 9 out of 10? You guys are frickin' nuts. Really, really, ridiculously bad movie. Too much Tom Cruise, too many inconsistencies (camcorders working when all other electronics don't, aliens that spend more time looking through a basement than it would take to just blow it up, etc.), and I wanted to shoot the son myself. The only thing good in this movie was Dakota Fanning. That girl is amazing.

I'm pretty lenient when it comes to judging movies, but this was awful.

Ray goes back to the house and gets batteries at home because he saw a camcorder working. So, the EMF only affects a certain area or for a certain period. His battery operated watch did stop though. I think it is foolish to think SS put an obvious shot of a camcorder there right after the power outage scenes without a reason.

If anyone cares, there's a bootleg floating around that's great quality. It appears to be ripped from a DVD which seems quite odd... it's definitely not a cam job. Normally the only time you can get high quality bootlegs of new movies is around Oscar time since they put the movies on DVD to send to the voters.
