Evil Aliens

I think it is weird that Stephen Spielberg is giving us War of the Worlds. He was the director of E.T. and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Both movies with harmless, curious aliens. What happened to his premise? He once stated, "I have a hard time believing that a species intelligent enough to travel vast distances in space would be harmful." Has he abandoned that notion?

Update: I saw War of the Worlds this weekend. It was really good. It felt like a ride. Absorbing and enthralling.
