War of the Worlds SUCKED!
Jul. 4th, 2005 01:55 pmWar of the Worlds:
just say no, kids. there is nothing good in it that was not in the adverts. i thought i could deal with spielberg: i was wrong.
this is coming from somebody who has seen Van Helsing, both X-men films, still really wants to see the Fantastic Four - I have nothing against trashy sci-fi, indeed it's one of my guilty pleasure genres!
but War of the Worlds? trashy in all the wrong ways, cloying, a few stunning vistas/effects but otherwise nothing to keep my interest for 2 hours. my mother, in fact, actually fell asleep in one 30-minute between-action-sequence lulls. the human interest just isn't interesting.
