War of the Worlds: 6.5 out of 10.
I'm one of those guys who thinks Tom Cruise is a pretty good actor. I almost always enjoy his movies. In "War of the Worlds" he's not smiling and playing a super lawyer / agent / pilot or whatever, he's just a guy and it works.
This movie is far from great, but it's a pretty easy view. At least it looks cool. Don't even ask why Boston was left untouched. It's better for us if we don't understand.
