In Reply to: War of the Worlds -- Y'know what, it's a perfectly fine weekend matinee movie. posted by clarkjohnsen on July 5, 2005 at 14:29:28:

It isn't a "great" film by any means, but it does succeed where it needs to succeed, in the thrills department. There's even a clever angle provided about the alien's intentions and of what use humans are to them. The psychology motivating the characters and their actions rang true and, thankfully, Spielberg didn't screw up the film with plotholes and inconsistencies that creep in when he has the urge to push the suspense up a notch. This film may actually survive repeated viewings and be a worthwhile DVD purchase!
