Re: War of the Worlds
 

God's creatures and organisms defeated the invaders... the same organisms and illnesses we've grown immune to. Thats why it's called War of the Worlds and didn't focus on the military fighting... It showed suffering and how civilians would go through such a tragedy, and not at a military perspective, which is why I liked the movie so much. They braved it out until they found out the aliens couldn't survive in our planet.

I give the movie a 9/10 but of course I never give 10's....

Re: War of the Worlds
 

Thats because HL2 borrowed the design. feel and basically the friggin' plot from War of the Worlds. Half Life 2 is what it might have been like if the aliens had won. Notice all the gear that the aliens wore? Those weren't scuba tanks filled with whatever gas they breath, if you look closely they were gas masks for filtering bad stuff, like pathogens, out...

This isn't a shot on HL2, even though I thought it was a tad overrated, its just that pretty much every theme and idea has been done already and most plots are rehashes with a twist. HL2's twist was the "what is the aliens survived from War of the Worlds", and its quite a good one. Being completely original is nearly impossible anymore, so it comes down to how well you rip off someone else :D

I wanted to slap her.

I went and saw this today and I have to say that I don't really like it. Of course, the special effects were fabulous but that's about it.

Re: War of the Worlds
 

I thought she did a good job.

At being annoying :D

Re: War of the Worlds
 

Well Dakota Fanning did an excellent job playing the role of a young girl amidst all this turmoil. As much as you say she's annoying, you have to think how you would act in those kind of situations, I could safely say for myself, that if aliens attacked... I wouldn't be so cool and collected, I'd be screaming my ass off.

Re: War of the Worlds
 

True, I never denied that she is an excellent actress. Perhaps I should say that the character that she was portraying annoyed me a little... :p

Re: War of the Worlds
 

The whole world wasn't annihilated... They didn't get to annihilate the whole world, because they couldn't survive on our planet. As soon as the tripods and aliens started crumbling to the Earth's bacteria, the military could shoot them down. If the whole world was annihilated, why would there be soldiers still fighting, and helicopters. Those chain of events couldn't have lasted for more than a 4 days... 5 days tops.

Re: War of the Worlds
 

i actually meant the girl is annoying...in all the movies i've seen so far with her.

Man on Fire
War of the Worlds
Kill Bill vol. 3 (i think) can't remember.
and i'm pretty sure i saw her somewhere else.

and she also scares me...she looks....wierd.

Re: War of the Worlds
 

There is no Kill Bill vol. 3... And I don't think Dakota Fanning was in either of the Kill Bill movies...


/me shrugs and walks away

Re: War of the Worlds
 

Maybe you saw her in Hide and Seek. It's a pretty recent movie.

Re: War of the Worlds
 

THATS THE ONE! thank you!

Re: War of the Worlds
 

I'll never teeeeelll.....

Is that the movie? I can imagine her being a little bitch in that movie

:confused:

Re: War of the Worlds
 

it's the one with robert deniro (or however you spell his name). where she makes a "new friend".

Re: War of the Worlds
 

Happydude pretty much said my feelings on the movie too....not bad at all....except for the damn girl and her ear-splitting voice and gift at being incredulously annoying.

One scene that REALLY bothered me...oh btw SPOILERS.....i suppose, even though its been out for a while....


yeah, when they were in the town w/ the van and the windsheild had a hole in it. Some guy runs up and tries to open up the glass w/ his hands.....i was just like.... :errr:
