I went to see the movie with high expectations on July 4th, and I was really disappointed. I have listened to the old one and seen the old version, so I was expecting this to be similar. I thought it was really good that they showed even his watch losing power, but I thought it was ridiculous that they got the car to work (and that the aliens didn't see it driving away and blast it), and that they guy's video camera worked immediately when the aliens came out of the ground. If I remember the old ones correctly, the aliens took the power wherever they were, which means that there should have been no lights, no ferry working, no cameras, no news vehicle working.

It felt to me like Spielberg rushed to make the film (which we all know he did) and concentrated more on big action and effects than on content.

And the crazy guy in the basement... wow. That was just odd.
