Once again RLP has returned - hopefully to tell us about his Cruise experience.
How do I discuss "The War of the Worlds" without giving away spoilers???
I thought it extremely thrilling, beautifully acted and filled with horrific images that shall haunt me for some time.
Tom Cruise...despite EVERYTHING...has never been more mature, more affecting, more effective or better than he is in this movie. He stunned me!
And I'm not particularly a Cruise fan.
Dakota Fanning is just wonderful. What a fine young actress.
I've been involved in discussion about various aspects of the film with folks who have seen it and hated it, seen it and liked it and seen it and loved it.
Some say Spielberg is back to form...and cite "Jurassic Park" as their model. This is way better than "Jurassic Park." It's a reimagining of the classic story in that there is a different point of view.
There IS a huge (to me) credibility issue with just WHERE those darned tripods came from...and WHEN...and why NOW???...but it's a MOVIE-MOVIE and one hell of a thrill ride!
