Spiel Berg

Sorry Steven! you didn't make it. Just what the hell were you thinking when you made War of the Worlds (2005). Was it a proposal film making for you? Why were you so dishonest to Rick Karter, Joanna Johnston, John Williams, Michael Kahn, and Janusz Kaminski? Did Cruise walk straight from the sets of Minority Report(2002)? Why did he seem so listless? A mere adherance to H.G.Wells' classic concept with Lucas' ILM at your disposal would fetch you moolah, and you thought so? Seriously!? What was David Koepp's screenplay all about? Horrendous. You must have outdone yourself in the quantum of cinematic liberties you have taken. Somehow looking at the bigger picture, things didnot fall in place. Extravagant and seemingly laborious production design, individually good visual set pieces do not a good film make. Pity, it is you!

For a man whose power supposedly enables him achieve just about any god damn thing in the showland, War of the Worlds is a big let down. All your talk about the philosophy of the movie proves to be a big spiel and that's a huge berg of that.

I didn't know things could get so literal, name wise.
