War of the worlds does have forward sounding scenes, but nothing that made me worry about my tweeters. The brightness you experienced may be a result of the tweeters in the M80s. I use Monitor Audio Silver s10 for fronts and they are considered bright or forward, but the M80s that I listened to at a forum members house were much brighter than the s10. I'm not saying the M80s are bad, I think they are great I'm just saying that with the mix on this movie the M80s tweeter may sound a bit bright. Also WOTW has some serious dynamic range where things go from quiet to loud very quickly.
