Overall a 3 star movie. Tom cruise, Justin Chatwin and Dakota Fanning were awesome. Dakota Fanning suprised me the most. She is very talented for her age. Also,forget all the Tom Cruise hype and enjoy the movie. Throughout the movie, there was a set mood. A very creepy feeling. Great directing but disappointing ending.

Very faithful to the original book and even a few reminisances from the 59 movie version thrown in. Many people seemed to dislike the ending which was in fact perfectly faithful to the book written by H.G. Wells and published in the 1890`s. This was the original alien invasion story. Yes, thats right, THE ORIGINAL, he created the genre so show some respect to the story before you spout off and display your ignorance of literature. Oh and btw, great movie. The first sight of an alien tripod rising from the earth will stay resident in my memory for many years to come.

How could you people NOT get the ending!!?? It`s the same as the book and the original film and is one of the more famous endings ever. Morgan Freeman`s narration even explained it. Or did it use too many big words?? In the end it`s called I-R-O-N-Y. Maybe the next time they remake it they`ll dumb it down a bit more and tell you flat out. Nice adaptation if not 100% faithful, though neither was the original movie. Had some scary moments and built up suspence nicely. Liked the social commentary in the film, which probably also flew over everyone`s head. The bit with Tim Robbins` psycho was pretty freaky as well.
