Hey all,
Last night I picked up an advanced copy of the War of the Worlds 2004. Wow what a great movie. So much action that it keeps you on the edge of your seat. Great story of course, good old HG. I thought it was better than all previous versions even with Cruise as the Star. His performance was very good I must say, even though I don't generally like his movies; this shone out above anything else he has done. His portrayal of a man in shock in the first scenes was very good. Maybe he has been taking some lessons from De Niro. The Supporting stars were also pretty good. The little girl's acting was fantastic. The shock of those events would freak any child out.
So if your a Scifi fan I can really recommend this movie.
