    worst line of the movie was probablyIS IT TERRORISTS=!=!=!=!?!??!?!

    I wanted to get up and leave right then and there. Pathetic.

    what do you think a 10 year old girl would ask if the city's are blowing up? especially an american one?

    it's clever.

    Best line is like (i dont remember exactly)

    TOM: This is from someplace else

    SON: U mean like Europe

    TOM: NO xxx(sum name i forgot), not Europe!

    Evrybody laughed in the cinema there (because were all from europe). Also when Tom threw a ball thru his window and a peanut butter slice of bread on another window were great and had most ppl laughing, including me

    This is exactly what I meant by people clinging to the most irrelevant parts of a movie and then kind of "give up" on the film. Pathetic.

    Likewise I enjoyed the film but its not a classic. Its an entertaining diversion, but it doesn't leave much of a lasting impression. Too many occasions in which Mr.Cruise NEARLY lost his life, and every time there was some sort of line or barrier, him and his family were ALWAYS at the front. It was too much "him him him" - why did it have to be him he spotted the birds resting on the tripod, or him that used the grenades to destroy one? Why did it have to be him and his family alone that made it into Tim Robbin's basement, or had a working car? How everything around the plane wreck was destroyed...except their working car? Just a bit too contrived, conincidental, and overall too damn lucky for the family.

    So yeah, enjoyable, but I think people are trying to turn it into something it isn't by making it out to be some sort of classic.

    I liked it alot!

    But it would have been better if more important characters died, so it wouldn't seem like the main characters (Tom and his kids) were invincible.

    In the first attack scene he had too many close calls.

    But no movie can be perfect to everyones tastes.

    theres was a alot of flaws...

    like why was there so many white people in the town they were in, which I think was suppose to be queens or new jersey...

    plus just so much other illogical stuff (not having do with aliens becuase obviously that illogical)

    But reguardless it was pretty fucking cool and impressive, the ending doesnt matter becuase if you are familiar with the story you know how it ends already

    Lol ratings, how do you rate it, for its message, its spectacle or its entertainment value.

    I never go to the movies so i just read some reviews, we are supposed to believe these things were on erath all the time, and its again the USA that has the honor to be invaded? :)

    Anyway WOTW is a spectacle film and it does that part quite good if I see this forum. But just like games, having alot of spectacle doesn't mean the game is going to be a classic :)

    The movies sucked they didn't give Wolverine enough screen time, infact they didn't give Wolverine ANY screen time, so I give it 3 out of 100.

    You obviously didnt read my earlier post, smartass. I liked the movie. A lot. That was just one thing that I really disliked.

    But you wanted to leave because of one line so my reply is still valid.

    But I didn't cause the rest of the movie was awesome. So no, I didn't give up on the film.

    Did anyone notice the excellent camerawork when theyre driving the van on the highway?

    Ofcourse, one of the best filmed scenes I have seen in a long time.

    The movie is quite exciting but the end is such a let down that I wouldn't really say it's a good one.

    that highway camerawork was CGI.
