This movie is great in every way. But it is bloody, there is a part were aliens are harvesting peoples blood, there is literly blood everywhere, on the characters, one the ground, in the air, everywhere! There is also a part were people are varporated, another bloody riot scene, in this scene children are part of the riot! And in that riot scene, there is nothing censored, blood is shown where ever it is called for! There is fair amount of bad language too, like s**t, da** and as*. But the movie is great!
A good movie to watch as a family and talk about afterwards. A few slightly disturbing parts. A large needle-like tube stabs a man and sucks up his blood (we see the man thrash slightly) but this scene is mostly off screen. we see space aliens that arent to very scary. We quickly see dead bodies floating down a river. A man kills another man in a ??bathroom?? while the man who is killing the other mans daughter is crying blindfolded. A nice ending. I watched it with my dad and my 10 yr old brother.
I loved this movie because I do like scary stuff. I love Dakota Fanning she's such a good actress! I got so scared after watching this movie when I was 10, my mom told me I was to young but I didnt listen and watched it anyway. I watched it a few times since then and visited the plane crash site at Universal studios hollywood and after that I wasnt so scared after that.
War of the Worlds-2005-Skip over the basement scene
"War of the Worlds"-2005 with Tom Cruise as Ray is everything a movie goer would expect in an effects laden, classic story/movie remake in the early 21st century.
The aliens are truly inhuman and vicious, the world they attack is
modern, the people, "just like us." The theme of this WOW does not deal with British colonial exploitation (the book) or the dangers of Communism (the 1953 version) but instead focuses on a man comming to grips with being an adult once his children's lives are at stake. The movie runs along at a rapid pace, family in-fighting juxtaposed against the horrible carnage the alien invaders inflict on the human race. The one section of the film not suitable for any child, is the "ambulance driver" scene in which Ray must kill another man with a shovel to keep his daughter safe.This from the man that took the guns out of "ET" when it was released in DVD. Other than that, an almost perfect film that really balances action, sci-fi, and horror.
This is definitly to intense for younger kids. But my age should be able to handle it. Fannings character is very sensitive and screams every ten seconds. You see different plant-type things all throughout the movie that looks like veins of a human body. the most intense scene is when you see what the robot thingys actually do to hte humans. They take a jabby thing and plung it into the front torso of the human then suck the blood out. Much like a vampire. It is very intense and will most likely make you scream if you see a big ball of white light. That is pretty much the tripods eye that looks for humans. This is a very intense movie and not for kids. Be careful
I love this movie A LOT! The vilonce is 10 times more extreme than the orignal. There were lots of frightening and disturbing images and sci-fi action. but i still love it! but all the vilonce and images bring it awfully close to being rated R.
GREAT!!!! I love this movie. But it's very, very, violent. Blood sucked out of people, people turned to dust, aliens are shown grabbing people to de-blood them, and still more.
