I thought it was one hell of a roller coaster ride.
I did find the one part mentioned earlier to be really annoying:
Spoiler: The son, along with a huge crowd of people, running towards the huge death dealing alien machines just to see what was going on? Uh, no. You run away from the alien death machines, not towards them. At first I thought the problem was dad, with his weird non-sequitors (So it's Boston now?, said with a hateful sneer) and incompetence, but if I had do deal with that sullen, hostile, idiot with a death wish for very long, I'd be ready to throw a baseball at his head, too).
That aside, I thought it was really well done beginning to end.
I read the review in which the critic chastizes Spielberg for exploiting images from 9/11 , and I don't think he's thinking it through. All of his specific complaints are specious. A wall with pictures of missing people? That predates 9/11. Brushing off dust from people who were vaporized? Dude, that's not 9/11, that's Holocaust imagery.
