Here's one by Harry Knowles: http://www.aintitcoolnews.com/display.cgi?id=20580

Be careful of some minor spoilers in the second half of the review, although he gives you a heads-up before doing them. Frankly, I didn't think they spoiled much of anything, myself.

And yeah, I know, it's just Harry Knowles, but still -- extremely positive. I'm excited. Anyone know any other early reviews?

I haven't seen any other reviews and I am looking forward to this movie despite Tom Cruise's antics.

Personally, I am hoping Cruise will wreck his carrer with his antics. Scientology is a nasty buisness, not to mention a really bad example of Science fiction (Evil Galactic Overlord Xemu? - How can that not warn people?). Yet he's going around ranting and slamming people over their use of anti-depressents, claiming that anti-depressants are a fraud and harmful (Oh, the IRONY. OH, THE IRONY!). So anything that helps to reduce its appeal is a good thing.

So... painful... to... read... his... writing... head spinning....

When Harry Knowles gives a review this positive, klaxons begin howling. Warning! Warning!

So much for that embargo. :\

I am looking forward to it - no matter about Tom, he is still a good actor, even one with a midlife crisis.

Ahh, Katie Holmes...Tom's Yoko. I've actually liked most of Tom's movies, and will probably like War too, but this guy needs a long rest and some of those drugs and psychiatric sessions he keeps slamming and swearing he knows so much about. I'm wondering if the "water" incident didn't just wipe out the last of Tom's sanity and humor.

Eh, the way I figure it, I'd be nuts too if Nicole Kidman dumped me.

Frankly I'm happy to see WotW; I hope it does well to support his "pseudoscience of psychiatry" opinion. I much prefer mind-over-matter to drugs-over-mind.

Not that I wouldn't see it anyways.

Yeah, even crazier if she dumped you for cheating on her ...

I'll, uh, stop there. Cruise/Scientology not my favorite things ...

From the way I heard she chain smokes, I would never look her way in the first place.
