War of the Worlds

Went and saw war of the worlds yesterday and it was dissapointing. Guess Spielberg goofed up on whether he wanted to portray the aliens or on the hero or maybe he made a casting blunder in tom cruise. Although histrionics wise Tom Cruise was good, but some how he didnt gel in with the movie.
Maybe Spielberg had to compromise on somethings while he made the movie or some other problems, but the only thing is this is certainly not one of his better movies and he has made some good ones at that !! I had seen one of his earlier movies Duel and trust me that is some movie.

There is an interesting comment by the narrator at the end of the movie(WoW)

"..man has earned his right to live on planet earth at the cost of millions of lives spent in acquiring immunity to all the diseases and viruses that has been in existence on earth for a long time...."

And at the end of it all what does man do ??? He goes and finds love with (of all creatures) a monkey and relinquishes his right to live on this planet and this, for a feeling of bliss(??????) no longer than the snapping of a twig....

God sometimes, you wish you were a woman :( !!!!!
