lethelweapon This movie was so misleading I watched it a few years back with a couple of my friends. We were a bit younger than so we couldn't tell weather a movie was gonna be good or not and because war of the worlds was such a big movie we assumed this sequel would be just as good. BOY WERE WE WRONG! this movie was lame, boring, was underdeveloped, had a weak plot, weak script and uncreative dialogue. The acting was o.k but still pretty weak, the directing was average nothing new. some scenes were so dragged out and boring that I found myself getting lost in my own thoughts! SPOILER ALERT part of the films plot was that the military had invented jets that could fly in space so that they could fight the aliens outside of earth.........do I need to say anymore? the only good part for me was the ending, and I don't mean as in I hated it so much that I was happy to see it finish (which I was) I mean the last scene of the film was the most humorous and interesting. Other wise don't waist your time and money on this piece of crap!

metalrage666 When I first sat down to watch this I thought that this might be a half-decent flick at best and at worst, possibly good for a laugh, but I quickly realised I was wrong on both counts.There is nothing remotely good or even funny about this movie, it's just pure garbage and barely watchable. It's surprising that it wasn't just shelved away in a vault somewhere. The original War of the Worlds, was made on a shoestring budget, even for its day, yet the "actors" in this recent pox of a movie must have agreed to work for free, as it appears that coupons were used to make this.This should be called "War of the Clichés", they're all in there, the brooding yet determined leading man who let's nothing get in his way, the un-funny one-liner sidekick that you just wish would die painfully, the team of double-talking scientists that invent the crazy scheme, which somehow just manages to work, despite defying all laws of physics, the tough talking military/mission leader, complete with torn off sleeves, (nothing is more terrifying to an invading Martian army than a sleeveless shirt), and finally the fact that no-where but the United States has the last few working jet fighters all retro-fitted and ready to save the world. Gee I feel safer already.To know beforehand what this movie may be like, just imagine a home movie with photo-shop special effects and no story and you'll be close. If you can manage to sit through it long enough without falling asleep, you end up working out the twists on top of twists and you wonder, why try to write complexity into a movie if you can't be bothered backing it with actors, who aren't any better than extras, and some kind of budget.I don't get why they continue to make movies like this that simply tries to cash in on an already popular title. Don't waste your time watching this, you're better off watching someone who's watching paint dry.

xenomorph_uk That's a new word I've invented. It's similar in meaning to garbage, rubbish, trash, awful, terrible etc... but, I was concerned that I would devalue those words much like debasing a currency, should I use them to describe this movie. Honestly, such words are inadequate in describing this abomination. There is absolutely nothing positive that can be said about this movie. Geez, even associating it with the word "Movie", makes me cringe.The acting? It was utterly disgraceful. I am genuinely shocked that anyone involved in this production believed that such poor acting was at all acceptable. I have never in my life witnessed such an absence of talent.The score? If by some awful act of cruelty, you are held against your will, your eyelids forced open and held in place by some diabolical device, leaving you with no choice but to watch this production, then I recommend that you chew off your own tongue and spit it in general direction of the mute button thereby sparing your ears the constant assault of meaningless noise.The effects? Awful, just awful. The sets were cheap and tacky with an even lower production value of that you would expect from school theatre work.The plot? Really, I don't think there was one. Something about… bah, I can't be bothered.Really, I made it to the 35th minute (including commercials), before I changed channels. I honestly believe that the CIA should consider the viewing of this movie as a viable alternative to water-boarding.

DiamondGirl427 I happened to see this movie listed on IMDb and wondered what it was...after all, I had never heard of a sequel being made after the first one came out. But..after watching part of it..I understood why is never made it ANYWHERE. The fact it is even shown on SYFY is surprising..and frankly, they do show some lame stuff on there quite often. C. Thomas Howell looked really old..and it truly seemed like he did not enjoy his part in the film...that came across clearly on camera. The acting skills of most of the others in the cast was lame to say the least. The guy from Kid & Play might have been there for comic relief or as a token black dude...not sure which really. He should have stuck with a music career instead of lowering himself to this mess. The special effects were anything but special...they looked cheap and cheesy. Granted....Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning probably regret signing on for the original...but the actors in this will regret they ever signed on for this one for sure.
