War of the Worlds (2005)
War of the Worlds (2005), Steven Spielberg:
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie, but not five minutes removed from the theater, the only things that stuck with me were gripes. Spielberg is still a great entertainer, but none of the characters warranted emotional attachments, nor was the human element very compelling (though the movie tries very hard). There are also a ton of super-annoying plot holes and unnecessarily fortuitous events. Still, the best War of the Worlds adaptation may be Alan Moore's second League of Extraordinary Gentlemen series.
5/15
