So true!

This is why i loved the beginning of the "Hitchikers Guide Trough the Galaxy" (Sorry i dont know exactly how to spell it in english).

The earth is in the way and they just blow it up. Simply, its in the way....


Awsome!

But the rest of the movie sucked

It was bad but far from the worst I've ever seen. I did appreciate some of the homage paid to George Pal's version and the SFX, while there was far too much of it, was well done.

One a scale of 1 to 10 I would give Spielberg's "War of the Worlds" a 5.

Since "Mars Attacks", a movie of which I am a huge fan, I have been unable to watch any movie with evil aliens without hearing "Indian Love Call" somewhere in the depths of my sick mind.

Hitchikers Guide through the Galaxy is somehow hilarious... Yeah me too I'm giving "War of the Worlds" a 5... when I saw the previews I thought it was a great movie but hell no! lol

I did watch a friend's DVD of WOTW a couple weeks ago. Thankfully, I found no evidence of Cruise-injected wacky Scientology stuff buried in the script - except possibly that plot point that the aliens had come to earth millenia ago and planted their invasion machines thousands of years ahead of time.

But like most Spielberg movies, it had the requisite sappy happy ending which I always find incredibly grating. And for me - the movie's worst sin - the battle scenes didn't happen onscreen. Not much "war" in WOTW.
