I totally disagree with your review, Mr. Geek. You repeatedly claim that the film “failed to impress” and “failed to deliver.” But you don’t really explain why that is the case. Maybe it’s you dude, maybe it’s you. And, by the way, your grammar and spelling are atrocious. I just thought you should know that.
Cheers,
Chancaca!

Magesh, as you had asked for I’, posting your comment here.

From Magesh[www.watdoiright.blogspot.com] -

hey lazy! am commenting here for the first time… but been readin here for long now! needed to comment ‘cos jus today i saw WoW and came out with the same feelings as ur’s.it was Spielberg stuff alright but not wrenching enuf, as u ssaid again!

anyways… one more reason i wanted to comment now is abt the talk abt TIS, i wen to the release function in Chennai and got some 50 snaps of it all…. i mean whatever i cud clock from the distacne i was sitting. tell me if u’r interested! someone mentioned Kamal’s speech, but i found Bharathi Raja’s more interesting, though Kamal was as usual good! ex – he said ‘even if i was a nobody, i wud hav been standing outside this hall seeing it all from the screen kept outside’. clever quip!

I agree that the ending wasn’t impressive. But what could Spielberg do? H.G. Wells’ novel says that the aliens were not immune to the common cold virus and died, so Spielberg had to stick to that ending. However, the ending was too abrupt and he could have handled it better.

Yet another alien movie .. I wonder if the Americans will ever tire of this alien crap.

I agree with Lazy Geek; saw it today, and you can read my one paragraph review if interested.

So anyway, what brings the Lazy geek to Belleview?

The seen where Tom Cruise is driving and the camera rotates around the car for 10 minutes to complete the scene is one of the best cinematographic efforts i have seen.

same as you we almost walked out of it , no logic at all in minority report it makes us to think whr did spiel go wrong so we can prove wrong , but in this movie all the places he is wrong , like no idea how his son came back in the last scene and like indian movie heroes family doesnt get killed at all ………anyway independence day is far far far bettere than this movie .its ccombination of signs independence day and more more

And on a serious note, reading about the review you gave on Dakota Fanning, looks like this is the second big-name actor that she outshines in a movie,with the first being Robert DeNiro in “Hide and Seek”.. so what say you? shall we watch? or ignore?
