War of the Worlds (2005): standard Hollywood movie?

[Alan Smithee]

I wish Spielberg could've done away with one of his trademarks: the bratty, annoying kid (in this case it is Dakota Fanning).

And when this movie doesn't look like a Roland Emmerich movie, it looks like Signs Pt. 2 or something.

I still like the 50's version
