The books was just speculation from "alien experts", not known fact. Just because the book said they were fast doesn't mean they actually are.

Also if the alien was suppose to be so damn fast why didn't it move faster when it went up against the baseball bat, and the one in Brazil caught on hom camera? And the whole dying from water thing was so stupid. M. Night's not a bad actor though. Did his part pretty well.
SPOILER

Oh yea, that home camera thing was, I think, the scariest part of the movie...all the little kids going nuts, then they run to the window, and it creeps by...and the news reporter thats like ''these images may shock and disturb you'' and then they zoomed in on the alien, and the guy watching tv was just like in shock...that was awsome...I would pay 5 bucks just to see that one scene again...

Well, I finally saw it. I don't know why everybody was so scared in the movie! Everybody was jumping at the stupidest parts.. Oh well. I thought that it was a good movie... Too much little humour, IMO. I really liked the aliens, but I wish that there would have been more scenes with them. And that "home video" was crap, IMO. It wasn't scary at all. About everybody in the theatre jumped, but I laughed because it looked like Yao Ming.


Overall, great movie. 4.5 outa 5.

aw comeon Joeiss...that home movie thing was kinda scary...and just cool the way it was done...obviously it wasnt really an amutuer cameraman, so they had to make it look like it was just an average guy taking the shot...and it was just really well done, IMO...

I thought the amature thing was well done too

Not necesarily scary, but it looked like an amature video of an alien thing heh heh... I bet people who think it was stupid are just like "Heh that'd never happen" or something

I meant that the home video was crap, as in not scary. Everybody got so scared when that alien walked by. I thought it was cool, but not scary at all. And I was looking behind the car, in the shadows on the door. I thought it was going to pop out of there... But it didn't..

Hmm...the movie was pretty good up until the end. First of all, I don't think you ever should of seen the aliens, I feel if that had been avoided, it would have been better overall. Secondly, I liked the idea of all these coincidences in the end for each of the people, but some of them seemed too coincidency (if that's a word. ) And the water killing the aliens has way too many plot-holes...I mean, the aliens were all over the world right? And it's raining somewhere in the world at every moment, so basically the aliens are fu**ed if water or rain hurts them. The aliens then made a pretty weak choice in coming to Earth where there it is like 80% water or whatever. But, overall it was a well done and worthwhile movie.

It will probably take 3 months before it's out here. We still don't have Minority Report here, no Resident Evil yet (DLed it), and Spiderman just came out one month ago. Bleh.

8-legged freaks comes out this thursday, is it good? 'from the makers of Independence Day and Godzilla'.... can't be too good.

I thought that it was hillarious that somebody actually made a movie about mutated spiders. Sad excuse for a movie, if you ask me. (I'm talking about 8 Legged Freaks)

Sounds like me. I love going to "scary" movies and making fun of the "scary" things. The best is to yell after everybody yells, so people look at you funny.
