MovieWeb Reviews:
"Between the weak acting, tired, thin plot, and infrequent and underwhelming action and FX, this is a film that exists only due to the talents of Cruise and Spielberg., That being said, I have to wonder how and why they could not have picked a better product than this stale offering." 
"Just take War of the Worlds for what it is: a film as entertaining and supericial as cotton candy, a textbook case in how a summer popcorn flick ought to be done. "
