Most Underachieving Film???

[Cyrusbales]

THAT is why i saw the movie in the first place....... the robot army scene was the only on to do its job. the rest was recycled trash fight scenes with barely any anime feel to it.

the movie would have been better with a whole hour of that meaningless crap cut out.....

the ending:they exploded into outer space

I feel the film explores so much and does so beautifully, you have to wipe your mind clean first though as it's a bit much to take in. I sat there for a few mins afterwards just collecting my thoughts about it. I find that most people who watch it end up slacked jawed in amazement. You have to be prepared to sit through it though, I can get why you don't like it though, but it's so different and artsy yet gritty in places that I loved it. Agree to disagree?

Sorry, but the original was in England, and I believe the ending is different.
In the book, there are no kids, Just the Narrator(The Main Character) and his wife.
He's trying to make his way to London during the invasion. He leaves her in Letterhead and continues get to London.
He is captured multiple times. The martians land on Earth, they weren't on it to begin with. The end is almost the same, but not really. There is also an alternate ending where the Martians win.
None of the War of the Worlds films are accurate to the story. They just share the name.

By ending i was merely meaning the fact we didn;t defeat them

Dramatic and dark don't always mean good.

x3 wasnt anywhere as dark as WOTW....

in wotw humans were just being slaughtered and killed....and nothing we could do would stop them.the only one who could stop the aliens was morgen freemans voice over.

in x3 we had a chance....

 

[Kevin Roegele]

the blend of cgi and real stuff sucked.....but i can TOTALLY understand that (kung fu hustle)..... the choregraphy in the fight scenes were completely horrible (again except for the army of robots).theres no reason to watch this movie except for that one robot army fight scene which you can watch onyoutube and not waste 3hrs of your life of meaningless story.

i agree though....batman needs some cohesive fight scenes.

Well, Casshern isn't an action movie, so if you go in just for action you will not get what you want.

I wanted to see a movie on the cutting edge of modern movie-making, an epic about a saviour wondering what exactly his role is, who the enemy is, and what the purpose of hi life is. Couple that with superheroics, giant robot armies, sword fights, cloning, mythology, war, ghosts....it's like all the greatest elements of sci-fi and fantasy rolled into one jaw-dropping, eye-candy explosion.

c'mon, lets find something to argue about, i like arguing with you, we seem to have a mutual understanding of when to agree to disagree. Let's go for.........how rubbish spielberg is nowadays?

 

[Cinemaman]

Why would he rewrite an intelligent ending ?
if you thought WOTW was just a summer blockbuster im afraid you may dislike SR to me WOTW was a charatcer drama set to an amzing invasion with fantastic images and small moments

Spielberg is Spielberg.

He changed enough stuff in Jurassic Park and the same he could do with WOTW, but he didn't, and you know why? Because all his ideas ran low now.

He has nothing new in his new films. H ehad new and fresh ideas in Schindler's List, in E.T., in Indiana Jones. But now I see him being a bit tired.

Well, I should at first see SR to judge it

 

[Hunter Rider]

I don't like woody allen, but this film mesmerised me. How it missed hte bafta i will never know. It summed up so many thoughts that i'd had, and really showed things personal to me. The cinematography and story were bliss. You will enjoy this film very much.

Well Scarlett Johanson is in it so obviously

 

[Kevin Roegele]

Dramatic and dark don't always mean good.

THe same we can say about X3, but it did not have anything new or logical except action.

Dramatic is good, because all films strive to be dramatic. Dark, I agree, doesn't equal quality at all.

 

[Speedball]

Your right The U.S. Didn't defeat them, it was the Earth that beat them.
The invasion was Worldwide, not just concentratedi in the US. I do like the fact that they were in the ground before we even existed.

Well SR gives you nothing new so if that is your criteria for liking things then i wouldn't think you will enjoy SR and Spielberg didn;t change it b/c it wasn't needed,he only changes when it serves the film,the man is still at his creative peak,

 

[Cyrusbales]

Well Scarlett Johanson is in it so obviously

a lot of the film has happened to me, (obviously not some of it, but you'll have to wait and see what that is coz i dnt wanna ruin it for you!)

have you seen chunking express???

it tried to mix artsy with anime...... and that didnt work.

i would say it was WAY too artsy.....so artsy that it ruined whatever plot it had at the beggining.half way through i DID have to completely wipe my mind clean....because it was just too much.

 

[Speedball]

c'mon, lets find something to argue about, i like arguing with you, we seem to have a mutual understanding of when to agree to disagree. Let's go for.........how rubbish spielberg is nowadays?

You're right.
The only truly great films he has released lately is Catch Me If you Can and Munich.

Then we best start to agree to disagree on that subject right off the bat lol ,to me he has grown as a filmmkaker,and ive enjoyed many of his movies from Saving Private Ryan to the present but i find little to fault in his works period

 

[Cinemaman]

Well SR gives you nothing new so if that is your criteria for liking things then i wouldn't think you will enjoy SR and Spielberg didn;t change it b/c it wasn't needed,he only changes when it serves the film,the man is still at his creative peak,

I usually expect something new and fresh from directors like Spielberg, Cameron and Tarantino.

Besides, SR has one thing, which is fresh, the kid. This stuff is new, because you cant find any another superhero movie with the kid storyline.

No,does that have Tony Lung and Leslie Chugn in it ?

Well'i'll just say that not all new things are good,you'll have to make your own mind up on that

 

[Cyrusbales]

You're right.

Munich??? That's the worst film i've seen in cinema's this year, it was so pointless and heartless. What ever happened to spielberg?

 

[Cinemaman]

You're right.
The only truly great films he has released lately is Catch Me If you Can and Munich.

You are right.

Catch me if youc an was excellent movie, I liked it.

The same I can say about Munich.

 

[Cyrusbales]

No,does that have Tony Lung and Leslie Chugn in it ?

yer, tony leung, he's awesome, it's same director as in the mood for love and 2046, and delivers just as well

 

[Cinemaman]

Well'i'll just say that not all new things are good,you'll have to make your own mind up on that

I will see SR only next week, I hate russian release dates

i knew there was gonna be drama.... as most foreign films do (house of flying daggers... crouching tiger)those were good because you care for the characters.this one i went in because the action was new...

the drama in this was just a rollercoaster of emotions that broke from the tracks and kept going in loops until the point where you just dont care.....thy went too far.

Couple that with superheroics, giant robot armies, sword fights, cloning, mythology, war, ghosts....it's like all the greatest elements of sci-fi and fantasy rolled into one

those are great elements i agree........but if you dont explain it then its just random ****

 

[Hunter Rider]

yer, tony leung, he's awesome, it's same director as in the mood for love and 2046, and delivers just as well

I saw the trailer for 2046,im not sure it is my type of movie

 

[Hunter Rider]

You are right.

Catch me if youc an was excellent movie, I liked it.

The same I can say about Munich.

I got Munich on DVD all the reviews Ive read and all the people have seen it said it's ****ing awesome

For me Spielberg as never stopped delivering except Hook and i never liked E.T.

 

[xwolverine2]

jurassic park 3 was missing story
