Diagonaldi Very well executed

Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

jd_consult1 Little can be said about this pointless yarn other than that it has a beginning, a middle, and eventually an end. For me, the end didn't come soon enough so I changed the channel. But not before I had seen two cycles of a Hugh Laurie impersonator getting sucked into and spat out of some B-movie stage that I presume represents the inner workings of a Martian. The set designer did his best to cast an alien aura to the Martians with what he could find scouring thrift stores and dumpster diving. But the makeshift special effects did little to offset the bad acting, writing, and directing. All in all the movie was a bad experience that I have promised myself that I will never repeat.

paddawan I jut tried to watch the movie for 15 minutes... It looked like a 50's matinée movie with horrendous actors and terrible Special and Sound FX. Don't even try to take a peek of the movie... It's awful! Boring story, boring speech lines, The music score repeating. I really don't understand why people make these movies. Would they think that it can be a blockbuster? Anyone explain this to me. And I totally agree with robert-greenwood-1 from United Kingdom. He said: "This movie has a really effective anti piracy idea built in." It's so bad that no one would copy and sell it!Please somebody stop me to keep writing this sort of review. Oh! one more thing. As we say in Mexico: Mr H. G. Wells would die again if he could watch War of the Worlds 2: The Next Wave.

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.

Si_m007 I did my best to watch it to the end, but failed.Worst element? The music - constantly in the background and totally inappropriate.Some of the 'fight' scenes - laughably poor - just film someone with a bit of camera shake and you're supposed to believe they're having an interstellar dog-fight...The sets... I kept on thinking they were going to fall down - extra supplies of sellotape anyone..?I don't know what the budget was for this film, but someone, somewhere, thought, hey this is good enough to be filmed, let's spend money and time and effort on it.. but then it gives hope to many aspiring film makers - if they're willing to back this, then surely my efforts have a chance..?
