Why did they have a van that ran but no one else had a vehicle? Did I miss something?

Not great, not bad! Tom Cruise does a pretty good performince and the aliens are pretty cool looking. This movie has alot of action packed alien attacks and the plot is good. I think that the little girl Dakota Fanning got a little annyoing after a while because, It's kinda like shes just cried the whole movie. If your looking for a good alien invasion movie...I would recomend renting this and

But expect a logical plot, and you'll walk out of the theater with a host of questions, mostly concerning procedural points of the alien attack. Full Review

Acting is not really the point of this movie, which seems to arise above all from Mr. Spielberg's desire to reaffirm that he is, along with everything else, a master of pure action filmmaking. Full Review

It's the human struggle that makes this a sci-fi masterpiece. Full Review

War of the Worlds is not vintage Spielberg, and it's on the grim side for a summer action blockbuster, but it's worth the time and money invested. Full Review

With this genuinely big entertainment, powered by a beating heart, Steven Spielberg has put the summer back in summer movies. Full Review
