But Reeves shouldn't take all the blame for this stinker. Writers, directors, creators, etc. all should be run out of Hollywood. This one made the War of the Worlds remake look like Gone With the Wind.

Funny, I must be a real softy for remakes... - mpathus 21:14:43 02/17/11 (1)
... but I found Spielburg's "The War of The Worlds" an excellent update.

I found its take to be tone accurate on war, technology, weapons, refugee panic, survival of an otherworldly threat, and personal choices faced in such an arena - even as a spectacularly entertaining cartoon.

Maybe I just like Spielburg's growth as a director - his ability to entertain and educate.

Tom Cruise nailed his character in this one - both funny and compelling.

  my wording in the original post made it seem less so, intention was to say it was far from Gone With the Wind or any 5* movie (but still quite enjoyable)
