Meh

Well, I guess that War of the Worlds really isn't all it's hyped up to be.

Roger Ebert only gives it 2 stars, which is the same his rating for Rebound, some cruddy looking basketball/redemption movie with Martin Lawrence.

The review itself is fairly painful.

Anyway, I guess we can find something else to do this holiday weekend then :P

I saw it. Although it isn't a great film I'd still say it's worth seeing. The main issue I had with this movie is that the sum of its parts is lesser than the whole, if you know what I mean -- the movie just doesn't come together in the end in a satisfying way -- and yet some of those parts, those sequences, are masterfully done, and riveting.

Problem is I've recently seen movies who are way more than the sum of their parts, and pretty stellar as their whole, so on that count alone I worry that I'm just not going to be all that impressed when seeing it.

It's always a little harder to watch something that's a tad "meh" when you've seen something the week before that was tight and lots of fun.
