I don't think Coleman saw the same War of the Worlds that I did, are you sure you didn't see it's porn equivelant War of the Double-Ended Dildo's?

No spoilers

I saw it last Friday at a screening, and it was probably as close to classic Spielberg as you'll get. He went the smart route and focused not on the entire invasion but on a set of characters that are forced to survive in a world that is being conquered by an alien race. There are some huge effects shots but they are not in your face like most summer blockbusters. The action is pretty intense, and the tension is even better. This movie is pretty creepy for a big budget action flick, so be prepared for that. It's definitely not ID4

The ending is appropriate, and follows the original story pretty closely. I was very surprised and I hope this is a sign that big blockbuster movies are changing for the better, because this summer we've had some really decent ones with Batman Begins and Star Wars.

You'll like the movie as long as you ignore the fact that Tom Cruise is really a robot sent to earth to study mankind and influence us all in his Scientology ways. Oh that crazy Tom Cruise.
