War of the Worlds (Steven Spielberg, 2005): 4.0/5.0

This movie is such much fun that people tends to condemn it because of its abrupt ending. Spielberg tends to do travelogues ("Saving Private Ryan") so we can experience all the range of phenomena that the concept has to offer. Maybe he could be director of educative documentaries. In 2005, many of the things going on in this film looked ludicrous, such as the relationship between Ray and its son, but it seems pretty logical now, how people reacts to danger and some let its "patriotic" impulses to take over intelligence. Note that the aliens could have been attacked by guerrilla warfare, taking down one by one from the inside, by martyrs. Yep, its Baghdad all over again.
