War of the Worlds, Minus Tom Cruise, Would Be Cool

I went to see "War of the Worlds" yesterday. I hate Tom Cruise and I hope he gets eaten by Oprah, but the movie looked like it was going to be good. Boy was I wrong

First, Tom Cruise should have been dead right off the bat. In the first 30 minutes of the movie I counted at least 3 things that should have killed him.

1. Driving a Mustang. But if he would have died because of the shoddy suspensions Ford makes, then it wouldn't have been much of a movie, would it?

2. If lightning strikes in the same place 26 times, DO NOT STAND WHERE IT STRUCK.

3. When the Martians started zapping fools left and right, Tom Cruise managed to run through it like a hero. Why? Because he's Tom Cruise.

There were some scenes that you know Tom Cruise wanted to be put in there just for the hell of it. For example, he really didn't HAVE to kick everyone's ass that he saw, but I'm sure Tom thought that would be best.

I do give this movie credit. I haven't seen so many people off'd in a movie since Pearl Harbor, and even in that movie you didn't see a lot of people die, you just assumed. From the time the first Martian arrives, until the end, people are zapped left and right. Kick ass.

It's just a shame they had to put the spaz bucket, Tom Cruise in as the lead role. Dakota Fanning would have kicked more ass than him. They could have given her lines like this...

But the thing that burned my balls the most about this movie was the fact that the Martians planned this invasion for millions upon millions of years, and in the end their stupidity killed them off. That's right, they didn't realize the micro-organisms in our water, food, and air would eventually become lethal to them. Spielberg, I don't care if it was part of the book. That sucked. I hate you and your family.

But I still liked this movie.
