Really? I didn't really get that kind of vibe from it. To me, War of the Worlds was kind of a thriller with a few battle scenes mixed in. Battle Los Angeles seemed to be more of a war movie to me, except with aliens. Total War, is suppose. At least we (the humans) had a chance in Battle Los Angeles, instead of the aliens being completely invulnerable from bullets, bombs, grenades, etc. I liked the ending in BLA, too. War of the Worlds just seemed a little stupid to me. I mean, if the aliens had really spent centuries upon centuries planning their attack on us, then why didn't they plan on a little bacteria? Sorry, [/bitching about a perfectly good movie off].
