aside from being a Spielberg movie, you didn't like War of the Worlds at all ?
I never heard of anybody not liking War of the Worlds
It was to much of a true time forward remake. Down to the ending.
It needed sumfin new to it.
It also came out during a time of spaceship science fiction remakes. That the drawing public had buyer fatigue. Plus had been duped.
by all the other trash sci fi remakes at the time. It is a good movie.
besides the annoying lui girl that Spielberg somehow makes likeable somehow. Plus cruise is just weird in this bit works. It is one of those weird Spielberg just works films. That the greats made in that time.
Good okay products but below their standards. While being a bit better than any other standard film of the time.
Kinda a showcase on how good Spielberg is. That Spielberg can make shyt tolerable. This was around his weird ai period. Where all the greats somehow figured out a good movie in the era. Then followed it up with a less than their standard performance.
Imo,..this movie feels like.
It was made.
when speilberg was having a mid life crisis.
or some battle with age and mortality as a film maker.
It is epitome of the weird Spielberg type of film. That is better than anyone else taking a shot at this landmark of a remake. Yet not what people have come to fully expect from spielberg.

Hook was good. I don't care what anyone says.
