Yeah, I went to the pictures to see this, and I thought it were awesome. Not a great fan of Tom Cruise, I want to smack that disgusting smile right off his smug little face. But, apart from that I absolutely fucking loved it! My jaw was wide open for most of the film, I couldn't believe the size of those machines, and what they could do, but not only that how real they looked. Sound crashing all around me, cars flying in the air, people being disintrigrated, but unfortunately they missed cruise! Not that intelligent after all!
I think spielberg got a bit mushy towards the end, but hey, it was always gonna be tom cruise saves the day single handed! Spielberg is a huge war of the worlds fan, and I believe he has original memorabilia of the original orson wells stuff, so I think it's fair to say he did it justice as much as he could. Bit too contemporary for my liking, you're too inclined to compare it with the original when they do that.
