Independence Day sequels

Why didn't the huge ship just go around the Earth and wipe everyone out with its gravity pull then plant its fat ass to

drill to the core for its energy.

But no, land so that it can be attacked.

Why didn't the eagles just fly Sam and Frodo to Mt. Doom?

I believe the official answer is "because the aliens would win and the movie would be over." Right a-dev?

I am going to predict that I agree with Jye

My feeling about the first film are the same as they have always been... One or two good money shots wrapped up in a load of dog ****.

I hated all the out of place / unfunny humor. All of the bad characters and their one note personality like Will Smith being his most Will Smithy... Harry Conick jr as Goose, Harvey Fierstein as loud obnoxious gay guy , Randy Quaid as cousin Eddy but not funny, Judd Hirsch as Super Jew guy, etc..... Blah just such bad writing... Every Joke fell flat. So if the new movie has the same kind of awful humor and characters then I am in for a long 2+ hours.

Goldblum and Pullman were about the only characters I enjoyed in that one.

Basically if this is a typical Emmerich film I am sure I will have trouble enjoying it.

I've always liked the first independence day, but to me it was always a Will Smith movie, he made that film, if it wasn't for him I wouldn't like it like I do, which I can probably say for all of Will's 90's movies, for me he made them and for me one of the reasons I have no interest in seeing this one is because there is no Will Smith. If he was in this punching more aliens in the face and then saying lines like "Welcome back to earth" I would have been there opening day.

But movies that have a solid foundation have the freedom to do such things because we're invested in the journey and story.

This movie is not afforded such luxary.

I need to go see Shallows!

Shallows was very average... It started out great... Had a great first 1/2 hour. The second 1/2 hour was OK but started to outstay it's welcome. The last 20 min was kinda eye rolling and a big drop off from the promise of the first 1/2 hour.

Watch "The Reef" instead. Best shark movie after JAWS. It is also based on a true story that stays true to what really happened. Biggest difference was who survives and the fact it was a Tiger shark (real life) and not a Great White (movie).

​Right, but I'm just giving you a haters point of view.

I think that is a shared sentiment of seemingly everyone who loved the original "classic."

Also, from what I understand, this was suppose to be longer but Fox wanted it cut down, so maybe that's why some of you are having trouble with the editing or it being all over the place.

Wait...am I in the BVS thread?

I didn't see that movie so I haven't been in that one much.

IGN said The Shallows makes JAWS look like a childrens tea party.

IGN shouldn't review anything other than videogames, not that they're any good at that either...

 

[kryptonianmutie]

It wouldn't surprise me if IGN said TFA made the original Star Wars look like a Roger Corman flick.

You're right. That 9/10 they gave MOS, calling it amazing, is complete nonsense As was the 7/10 they gave BVS

Listen here you little ****!

WOW!

 

[karamazov80]

Now that's hilarious. Like when Deep Blue Sea came out. A friend told me he read a review that said it was better then Jaws. :

Geez I checked their review and sure enough they did say that. Why oversell something so ridiculously? Anyone who watches the film based on that recommendation is guaranteed to be disappointed.

 

[GasparZizou]

It's ok, people know they should ignore IGN and IGN knows people are going to ignore them so they don't care anymore

Just when I thought I was out....

....well...yeah. But damn good point Jye With just another few minutes travelling around the remainder of earth they could have wiped out all possible resistance. When sequel escalation takes a double-barrel shotgun and blows off its own feet.

Are you sure you weren't just in a really bad mood on the day back in 1996? I find it hard to believe that Resurgence is the film that gave you what you were craving from an Alien Invasion movie
