The fiasco of " War of the Worlds "-----------------

So I made may promess comes true against myself ( or should I write " with " )
Very few people in the movie house, so I was not disturb with the usual bla-bla from the youngsters.
Spielberg has not very mature. his themes are the same since " ET " Or " Close Encounter "
You see all is set in, the divorced parents, the two child ect...
Tom Cruise try hard and the camera help him a lot to get him doing a fair job, and the actor playing the part of his son in fact steal him the show, having just more presence on the screen, this kid is going to make it.
The daughter is sreaming so very often that you wishes that she dies soon. Which of course do not happen...
There are many scenes reminiscent of the original one with a zest of " Soylent Green " and of course his own work.

Very loud of course, and for the first two third very fast moving and at high tempo.
Then Tim Robbins set in and the film lost a lot of its cadence. Mr. Robbins do his actual good playing and he reminds me a lot of Orson Wells, Spielberg filmed him that way and that is certainly no accident, He-he!

BUT there are many scenes that are magnificent and reache in its vision a surrealist Dali easily.

A fiasco, yes, but not without some " grandeur ".

Too bad Mr. Spielberg did not grow up to his destiny at being a great director, if only he would have continue from " Duel " on...
Our lost.
