So basically Crow bot clones come out from hibernation in the Earth's crust to spray paint the planet a nice hue of blood. Later birds peck the bots to death and save the day

No kidding, dork. What will you remember from the movie most? For me and many others it will be the scene in the basement when Robbins goes a bit over the edge and Cruise finds the need to kill another in order to save his daughter from death. You'll remember that ferocious stillness and it's morally devastating aftermath. No wonder the ending, which yes is straight out of Wells book (I read it and found the ending a cop out, which made me sad that Steven felt the need to stick to it regardless) is a letdown

No the ending is not a copout, if you understood the very last paragraph of the book, it's meant to show that even the TINIEST of "God's creatures" can work to bring down a huge invasion, etc... Irony and nature at it's BEST. What would be the point if the military or fucking Rambo came out and took down all the martians with all might?? For that we have Independence Day. Tom Cruise was great, I've NEVER seen him in the father role before, he's finally cme of age. And what questions were left unanswered

I understood it well and loved the idea. That was about as far as I got with enjoying the ending of the book. I'm not looking for big explosions, I never stated that a movie's ending is only good when you go out with a big bang. I don't deny that Cruise did his best and is improving but improvement in my eyes from a very low stoop. I find no interest in his usual jaw-clenching macho persona. I have more of an interest in an actor that makes me forget Tom Cruise is on the screen and actually there's a divorced man not yet prepared to be a father
