war of the worlds

10 things i didn't like

1. No girls to look at. and Dakota Fanning looked too freaky with her green eyes

2. completely waste of a good actress Miranda Otto

3. i never knew when cars all stopped along the highway, a free path would miraculously appear in the middle of the highway, allowing Tom Cruise's car to just speed along the highway with ridiculous ease

4. the plane crash wiped out everything. except. the. car.

5. i never knew people possesed enough strength to swim such a vast expanse of water. ESPECIALLY people carrying a weak girl and having just been knocked into the waters by a car.

6. i don't get the whole young boy's angst. irritating shit.

7. WHY in the world would aliens be SO interested in an underground hut in the middle of nowhere that they would send their "eye" to look at the place twice, and then lead an expedition to explore photos there?!? why not the city?!?

8. I thought Tom Cruise said all vehicles were spoilt? So what happened to the CBS Lorry?

9. HOW in the world does Tom Cruise manage to wring the grenade ring out of 3 grenades, and throw them suitably far with merely ONE hand? and then still manage to hold on to all three grenade rings nicely!?

10. the boy shouldn't have returned.

oh well.. all in all, just watch for the slight terror and media-fun of it and it's fine lah... just don't think too hard. =)
