Henry Cavill, Gandhi Ben Kingsly.. but in spite of a good start it quickly lost its impact. Not sure if that is me as I have this thing against the actor who plays the culprit, or if it was just a weak movie. I think the latter.

War of the Worlds 2005
A total waste of time. A very good start, really interesting and captivating. It only goes down the drain from there. Way too much emphasise and airtime spent on Tom Cruise's totally obnoxious and unmanageable children. I love my kids and they aren't always easy, but if they were like that I'd leave them behind, haha.
Not enough time on the aliens.
Another problem: about 80% is flashing lights of some type, and a lot of it. From the aliens, thunder flashes, fires, or unnatural flickering reflections in water caused by the aliens.
Not watchable if you have a sensitive head. I've never rated a movie this low: 1 star out of 5.
I think about the worst Tom Cruise movie ever.

It's the only movie that I've ever seen Cruise play where he isn't the Natural Winner (even though he never loses in this one either) who can do no wrong.

I agree, the beginning of the movie was outstanding. The action and suspense were both fabulous and the special effects were top-o'-the-line for 2005. Once they got to the part with the crashed airliner, it just fell apart.

Yep, exactly!
It reminded me of "Falling Skies", the series, which I loved to bits! Similar but really well done.
And indeed not an alpha male Cruise but more of a pushover.
I skipped about 20-30 minutes of the end, couldn't handle the flashes anymore, nor the high level of annoyance.

I blame the failure for many of these remakes on a couple of things:

1) Lack of reading: people don't read anymore. Without reading, your imagination gets stifled and doesn't grow. Watching electronic media doesn't activate the same centers of the brain that reading does and thus you can't create new scenarios.

2) The idea that works need "refreshed" or "contain a positive message" for the next generation: It seems an agenda needs to be included in every show, movie, and even book today. You just can't just have entertainment anymore, you have to push something along with it.

3) Reinventing the wheel (AKA I can do it Better): There is a reason why a classic is a classic. Either it's chemistry with the cast/crew/writer/director, the individual talents of one or a combination, unique imagination of the writer...something that makes it a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The new recent trend is to replace male leads with female ones and tell the same story (Ocean's Eight (and why only 8...you couldn't find 11 strong female actresses in the world?), Ghostbusters, etc). Every time, even when they stack the deck and limit release competition, these movies just fall flat. Humankind is NOT unisex...we are not all equal in everything. Just Stop!
