Independence Day: Resurgence Reviews

This might be the dumbest movie I have ever seen. It's an insult to your intelligence even if you have an IQ at room temperature. We had twenty years to prepare and came up with this crap, we deserve to die.

Man I loved the first Independence Day. It was fun, funny, and the action was great. When I heard they were making this I was really excited. I wanted to see how they would continue the story. I was a bit disappointed with Will Smith not returning though. I find it awesome that the original director and writer return for this. I honestly love many of Roland Emmerich's films as well as Dean Devlin's work on the Universal Soldier series. This is the first writing credit for actors Nicolas Wright and James A. Woods. This is also written by James Vanderbilt who wrote the Spider-Man reboots and other films I really enjoyed. I'm glad they got a good chunk of the main adult cast to return for this. I would have liked for some of the child actors to return as well though. Okay I kind of dig how the started it off with some audio from the original speech and seeing the aliens react. I really hope we can put our petty differences aside without the need of an alien invasion. Everything looks so futuristic in this. Well that is a reasonable reason. Ah throwing in some pictures of Will Smith here and there. The way they killed him off is a bit silly, but other than that I like how they honor his character. So far the new characters are decent. So Vivica A. Fox is looking fairly good again. Man 20 years is a bit long for that. You have to be pretty damn patient. Yeah that's a good way to start more trouble. Judd Hirsch has been looking old for so long that he still looks pretty much the same as he did in the first one. Oh damn it's like no we're not going to play these games. Yeah I don't think there is much you can do when that happens. This is insane! OMG I can't believe they actually went through with that! They are definitely much smarter than the last invaders. Oh that's an interesting predicament. See that's what happens when you do that. I have to admit I would really like to see that story. I actually like some of the new characters quite a bit. No way can it be that easy! Also that's just not fair! Okay that's pretty freaking cool and kind of messed up! Haha nice little homage to the first one there. Aww why do they keep messing with me! It's kind of a sappy ending, but hey it's pretty decent. I am kind of excited to see what they can do with a third one. Contrary to many opinions I actually really enjoyed this. It's fun, chaotic, and the story keeps you entertained. There were a few things I wish had been done differently, but those are just minor personal gripes. It's not quite as amazing as the first one was, but for a movie catering to new generations as well as old I thought it did fine. Sure it's cliche and cheesy at times. Give it a chance though. I think it's being judged a little too harshly.
