Man, I wish he died in the movie.
He was putting the whole family in risk with his teenagie stupidness and stubbornness.
I mean, who the hell would want to run up the hill and face the *beep* alien attack with bare hands? A norman person would've had a heart attack or at least run away as far as possible from hell.
I stopped caring if Robby lived or died, the moment he started talking about defeating the aliens. I mean, please, get real. lol
shareYou would be great in a war wouldn’t you. Run away fast then you woose
shareThere's a difference between being in a legit war, and a war against destructive alien tripods. Robby wasn't even a solider. He didn't have a firearm, training, or any experience with warfare. He was literally an arrogant teenager walking towards an insane alien invasion, with the idea of being brave and righteous. What's the logic in that?
Your argument is invalid.
The logic is he’s a flaming kid who wanted to help people, hence the ferry when he rescued people. Ok he’s a hot head at 17 or what ever he is but he’s a kid, like all the teenagers in the world. Slagging him off And being just down right disgusting is pathetic
shareOkay, whatever. He did a righteous deed. Robby is a true hero. He defeated the tripods with his righteousness. Lol
shareYou do realise he´s just a movie character right? He was definitely annoying and his charge towards the invasion was beyond stupid. It´s a shame because I think without the stupidity of the Robbie character, the critics would have given this film a lot more credit.
shareOh my god, don’t have kids please!!!!! He was 15!?!!!!! He wanted revenge on them for killing people. Grow up
shareRobbie was SO annoying. Beyond annoying. The part where he’s crawling up the hill to “fight the aliens” was pure stupidity. They need to use that as a vehicle to having you think he died and then be shocked to see he lives. Even tho it was patently ridiculous that he actually lived in that manner.
shareBoth Rachel and Robbie are creations of the scriptwriters and the admittedly talented actors that played them. That they are the way they are is, I suppose, a glowing tribute to their parents' upbringing, or lack thereof; if the failure of the marriage of Ray and Mary Ann is the cause of these childrens' various ills, then they truly are what their parents made them: incontinent, neurotic, maladjusted, and desperately seeking non-existent role models. Part of Steven Spielberg's classic 'Everyman' character is his seeming unsuitability to the task put to him; in the case of Ray Ferrier this includes parenting. Ray Ferrier is a lousy parent, and to make things doubly, perhaps triply difficult, Spielberg has decided that Ray's kids are royally f**ked up. His son, long since having given up on Ray as a father figure, functions as a makeshift guardian and protector for the sake of his younger sister, who is herself four quivering limbs short of a basket-case. And they are both extremely annoying. Perhaps Ray wished, or hoped, that Robbie would go away, or that both of them would go away. But then he would have failed, and proved himself the worse parent to his wife.
