It was decent at the theater. I liked the president's speech near the end, the last second take off before the white house is destroyed and ..well. Not much else. Corny, cheesy and corny and cheesy. Great effects. Jeff Goldblum is decent. I really dislike the totally helpless humans fighting against unwinnable odds only to be saved by a trick or a oops. I have always loved War of the worlds (both versions) but that "we're invincible so die for us" idea sucks when the book showed the aliens as less than perfect and we could actually fight them. These movies are an excuse to wow the brain dead with special effects. Nice effects though.

Effects are spectacular, the acting and writing was outstanding. I really liked it.... Then at one point they started running it on tv far too much. Don't get me wrong, it's a great movie and I could watch it a lot for awhile. I just kinda got tired of it when they ran it back-to-back almost every other day or at least it felt like it.

Nostalgia is strong with this one. Not quite the best movie of the 90's, but it is certainly one of the most iconic. Just don't bother watching Roland E's next film: Godzilla.
