I have something to tell you about War of the Worlds: it's pretty freakin' awesome. To give you an idea, Batman Begins and War of the Worlds are currently tied for the most awesome movie I have seen this year, then a notch below that comes Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. This one will not play the same on DVD unless you have a sound system that can shake the room and a projector of your own, so go out and see it at the cinema.
The sense of barely-controlled panic (and often not controlled at all) and the characters not knowing what's going on comes across very well. Because this is Hollywood, we humans still have to do some damage ourselves, and so we do, but for the most part the humans are running and screaming. As long as you're prepared for an ending from the 1890s and to witness the near destruction of the world from ground-level, see this movie now.

PS - I want an airhorn that sounds like that.
PPS - There are no bloopers at the end of the credits.
