It wasn't the long, lingering look Spielberg gave us, but it was there.
Yes, I know. But that quick shot was more effective, IMHO.

There are too many spoilers in my comments. I put a review of the movie up on IMDB, along with several hundred other people, and the general tone of the reviews is pretty negative.

Great source material, and I think Speilberg could have done much better if he hadn't been so focused on putting in scenes that would translate into theme park rides.
I wonder how many people who gave reviews actually read the classic work -- it seems that many folks are criticizing the end, which the way the book and original War of the Worlds movie ended.

I still liked it -- it was a good 2 hour distraction from the worries of the world....
