CineFile : il Cinema in Rete (Fabrizio Formenti)
La vita di Ray Ferrier è tutt'altro che elettrizzante sotto ogni punto di vista: separato dalla moglie, non è ben visto neppure dai suoi due figli, e non si può dire che egli sia esente da colpe per questo, per via del suo carattere un po' ruvido.

Salon (Stephanie Zacharek)
Extravagant in movie terms but stingy in emotional ones, it embodies all of Spielberg's bad impulses and almost none of his good ones: It's a grand display of how well he knows how to work us over, and yet the desperation with which he tries to get to us...read the complete War of the Worlds (2005) review at Salon (Stephanie Zacharek)

Its unbelieveable how many people have rated this movie so low, its entirely entertaining. What's not to like? Tom is at his best in acting, he makes the whole thing bigger better and real. He makes the movie a lot of fun, I can only say two things, ...

First, let me say, I don't much care for remakes. And secondly, I think CGI should be used in very small doses. So, it's an irony that I would like this movie as much as I do. It's a remake, with a lot of CGI. And yet I think it's surprisingly good. ...

My son LOVES this movie! Can't watch this movie enough. After renting this movie over 10 times I decided I should get it. I couldn't wait for the Blu-Ray. The Spielberg art has inspired him to draw his own ideas and create some great art. ...

Being a dad is hard. The wife (and her new dorky husband) brings them over to your house when it's your weekend. You have to deal with so much nonsense. And on top of everything in this post 9-11 world things in America seem less certain than they used ...
This is the best th heat ray the violence, this is a cool movie the aliens look realistic. Trust me you won't be mad. ...

I was concerned that this movie might not be good because of some reviews. Now that I've seen it, I think their criticism is utter nonsense. This is a spectacular summer blockbuster type of movie. Everything you'd want is there: lots of big action ...

War of the Worlds is a very good, scary, entertaining, and thought provoking movie. ...
by B. Fischer on November 19, 2009
This is a very good scary movie with good acting and directing all around. I believe this is how people would really react in such a disaster. ...
