Alien Invasion or family issues

I loved the Orson Weller radio drama of War of the Worlds...I even like the 1953 take on the story; but this movie. This story doesn't need a Tom Cruise type star because they are going to want the movie focused on them. Like this one. This is a story about alien invasion, not about a dead beat dad. I know the human element has to be in something like this but not in this fashion. I thought this was a very poor interpraraton of War of the Worlds. I would love to see this movie done very closely to the radio drama. That would make a good movie. As for the Tom Cruise version....it needs a heat ray taken to it and wiped off the face of the Earth.
