War of the worlds - film review

When I first saw the trailers for this I thought I would hate it. I expected an americanised take on the classic book. I was pleasantly surprised when I watched this film last night.

Tom Cruise plays a divorced father who struggles to connect with his two children. He is looking after them for a weekend when America is invaded. Humanity meets a powerful enemy and it looks like everyone will die.

The aliens look good and people are killed in a scary way. Children are frightened of terrorists and there is no GI Joe element to the ending. It's a good film, better than Independence Day. I enjoyed it and I wanted to hate it.

Check it out and make up your own mind.
