War of the Worlds (2025)

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

War of the Worlds (2025)

This looks terrible.

First of all, this is the 10th time or so this has been made into a movie?

Secondly, unlike Jurassic Park, they spared every expense. It's looks cheap as hell, like it was shot, edited, and CGI created/added all on an iPhone 13.

The finished product had better look a lot better because right now I'd say the effects here are slightly above your average SyFy movie.

One of the reviewers I trust the most, Jeremy Jahns, called this movie "dogshit" and even had a graphic stamped that on top of it. In my years of watching him, that was a first.

I kind of have to watch it now...

Ice Cube in a ghetto-comedy movie about an alien invasion could have been, if not great, at least entertaining.

"Aliens...ah HELL nah."

And when he battles the final boss alien, right before he fires the missile or whatever: "Bye Felicia"

Already 100x better than this movie (that I didn't see)
