I've seen these two movies that involve the invasion of aliens to our planet and I wonder who thinks which one is better. Me personally I like Independence Day better than War of the Worlds. The beginning of WW was slack and so was the ending.

Independence Day for me as well. I didn't particularly care for the way War of the Worlds was done. I don't think it did the book justice. I'm not a large fan of Spielberg movies, it seems to me he always cares for the flashy, big booming stuff and putting children in danger than the storyline and acting.
Originality is good, kids.
WOTW was an amazing film, more explosions and more freaky Alien vessels, the aliens actually did damage but Independence Day was kinda good.

War of the Worlds is more gritty, Independance Day is more fun-filled "Americanisation" to the max. I guess it depends on how "deep" you're feeling. Right now I'm feeling about War of the Worlds.
There is no signature here. Move along.
War of the Worlds could of been better, at least it could of been in Britain like the book and no kids like the movie, both of these are Americanized.

Independance day for me, WotW was good but it just didnt seem that good for me.
war of the worlds hands down
I havent seen wotw yet, but I dought it will beat the brilliance of ID, end of
So it's 50/50 right now.
thought the same thing, but was disappointedOriginally Posted by Dreddz
I absolutely love War of the Worlds, up until the point when Tom Cruise and his daughter hide in that barn with the guy, but I don't like any part of Independance Day.
So I say War of the Worlds.
War of the Worlds was horrible and ripped alot of stuff from Independance Day to begin with. Pacing was off, all of the characters were annoying, and the ending just sucked.
Independance Day, while not a brilliant movie, managed to be likable. So.. Yah.

ID, all though generally cornier, has some cool explosions, such as the classic White House exploding bit.
*sigh* Those aliens lived my dream...
Independence Day all the way, its not that War of the Worlds was that bad its just that the daughter was very annoying and the whole thing with the car bugged me "Oh look this entire city has been destroyed, there is rubble everywhere yet there is this perfect path, with not a rock on it, to drive our car down".
Now for some words of wisdom:
Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.....hmmm wait just a minute.
Everyone makes mistakes. The trick is to make mistakes when nobody is looking

I think War of the Worlds was the better film and quite an edge-of-your-seat thriller, but Independence Day was more fun to watch. It was a popcorn flick, for sure. I opt for Mars Attacks instead.
