Yeah. The original War of the Worlds book and the original film were spectacular. I was waiting for a remake since I saw the original. The story is amazing. Then they change it to a standard run of the mill let's watch Tom Cruise sleepwalk through an action scene like a mouse hunting for cheese in a maze. The F/X were good at times but overall the script was horrific, and the acting was terrible. This should not have been a Tom Cruise movie but a War of the Worlds film. The entire reasoning for the Aliens being their was idiotic. Spraying our blood as fertilizer. LOL Also you'd think this species which was at least a few million years ahead of us in technology would think of things like uhhh viruses, bacteria, etc...But no they had to bury their forces underground which we never dug up accidently in the entire history of man, then they fly back here to teleport into these machines and come back up to kills us and plant seeds. Uhhh why didn't they plant the seeds when the world was already a jungle and their was no intelligent life to fight back. God it was stupid. X3 was all about watching our favorite characters battle since the actors contracts were up and we'd probably not see most of them again in these roles and it was too late to start another storyline. I enjoyed X3 for different reasons.
