Dakota was terrible - War of the Worlds Reviews

I can't believe all of the hype over Dakota in this movie. If she was playing a three to four year old, maybe I could've put up with her lame shrieking for the whole movie. I blame the acting, casting and direction for making me listen to her annoying screams for too long. I thought Tom Cruise did a good job acting: he was believable even though everything else was so far-fetched. When the best special effects in an alien attacking the world movie is when a high speed train passes by while on fire, don't waste your money to see it in a theater. This is definitely a movie you could wait to see on your smallest tv at home when there's nothing better to watch.
