Tom Cruise is a good actor. The Steven Spielberg's version War of the Worlds not so good.

I wondered why make a remake anyway when it is so like the 1950s version.

I hated the fact that what was added to the story was the father healing his family and saving his imperiled children. It did not help that Dakota Fanning was one of the kids in danger. Everytime she was threatened I was rooting for the aliens.

Same lame virus ending.

2 of 5 stars.
