I read the Daily Mail review of War of the Worlds before I went to see it. Christopher Tookey is normally a very difficult man to impress, but he gave it 5 stars and called it the greatest action epic ever. It is neither an action film, nor an epic, and it's certainly not the greatest anything. It's very, very good though. There's one even larger mistake in the review, that only the Daily Mail could make - they said Tim Robbin's character was a paedophile.
Muuuuuuuh. Did they actually watch the film? He is not, repeat NOT a paedophile. I know the scene that activated the jerk of he knee, it's when he tells Dakota Fanning that if anything happens to Tom Cruise, he'll look after her. He's a creepy character anyway, so it comes across a bit...creepy. But look about 5 minutes earlier and he's telling Tom Cruise that he lost a daughter to the aliens. Now why do you think he's being over-nice to the new little girl on the scene?
It made me quite angry that this was the first conclusion the chief reviewer for the Mail would jump to, as it unneccessarily tarnished the relationships between the characters in the film for me before I'd even seen it.
Retards.

Shame that this is the culture we're in - he's a paedophile, she's a paedophile. Damn tabloids.

Think that goes for everything in the Daily Mail.

Er ... The Daily Mail?
Wasn't that a big enough clue for you?

I never EVER rely on newspapers for film reviews for precisely this reason. As the WOTW review shows, they're a bunch of amateurs who know next to nothing about what they're talking about.
