Was Tom miscast?

>THE JAVELIN IS THE KEY! LOAD THE GUSTAF! ITS GOING TO BE A TOUGH KILL

Man, for such a minor character, this guy was based as fuck.

i think so. I always found it weird to see him as a construction worker, and generally he's not great. same in minority report. i don't know why spielberg had a thing for him in that period, before that he had very pertinent castings

>construction worker

He wasn't a construction worker. In theory he had a "blue collar" job, but a crane operator on a major port can easily make $120 K a year.

The film is only good because of Tom Cruise. It's a great Cruise sci-fi film, but a terrible War of the Worlds one.

Seeing the son alive at the end was the biggest goddamn bullshit. The dumb fuck deserved to die.

the teen should have stayed dead at the end.

They either
>Wanted to see the fighting, thinking the Military was beating the Tripods
or
>Were just scared and wanted to see the fighting.

>superiority is not just for the cgi
I love how this is better than the Spielberg's one

For me, it's Forever Autumn.

Spielberg high budget flickography.

Alien invasion is perfect way of getting rid of shit retarded kids and living a new life, but because it's a Hollywood film he has to put up with their shit and save them.

This would have been great if it wasn't for the retarded plot twist at the end.

Spielberg and Cruise wanted to work together after the Minority Report 10/10 kino and they happened to have several months window and they rushed to make War of the Worlds. That's why it's quite a flawed movie.

This. Imagine being so cucked that you want to live in a post-apocalyptic, ayy-ravaged Earth instead of just being instantly deleted from existence with a comfy ray

I rewatched it not long ago and it was a letdown. It scared the shit out of me when I saw it in cinema as a 14(?) year old. Those fucking sounds they make...

NOT MY BLOOD

If you do a lot of overtime, yeah. But it's one of those jobs that's prone to tough times, if things go wrong in the economy, and it's mainly staffed by working class guys who find a good gig. You can be a great and competent worker, but in those types of blue collar jobs, sometimes work just dries up.
And in the movie, he's divorced, living on his own, probably paying child support and eating out all the time.
I thought Cruise was just fine in the role.

BETTER RUN AWAY DIRECTLY FROM IT DOWN THE ROAD

He wasn't miscast, it's just shit like most spielberg trite.

It absolute kinography whenever the tripods show up, along with the probe scene. The rest is kinda meh. I never found the daughter as annoying as everyone else seems to, but the movie still could've done without her.

Tom Cruise is the most popular actor to have absolutely zero charisma.

Both the kids nearly ruined the film, only Cruise and Tim Robbins save it along with some nicely done scenes.

Great movie ruined by annoying characters.

Little known fact: Channing Tatum is in this movie as an extra in the scene when the tripod comes out of the ground and destroys the church.

why not just look it up on twitter?
