Independence Day: Resurgence (2016)

Wow! Such a good movie.

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

2/10Hey Chinese company, if you want to push your products buy commercials on TV like everyone else. As for these amateur-hour Chinese actors they keep putting in movies because the studio is now Chinese owned or Disney is trying to market its vomit in China please go stuff it. I am not interested.*I do have to admit watching thin long-haired Chinese actresses beats seeing Amy Schumer or Melissa McCarthy or Queen Latifah though. Just keeping it real.

20 years after getting their collective alien asses handed to them, the Independence Day aliens are back, and boy are they annoyed!It's not entirely a surprise when the ID4 aliens come back. Despite the fact that Earth has used their alien technology from last time to create new weapons and fighting craft, the aliens have some new tricks up their sleeves (if they have sleeves) which enable them to generate vast quantities of destruction porn and start drilling for the Earth's core. Once more, Jeff Goldblum leads the fight against an enemy which outclasses the human race. Last time, Earth's resistance was led by Goldbum (brains), Will Smith (muscle), Brent Spiner (quirky scientist), Bill Pullman (President) and Randy Quaid (nutjob thanks to alien rectal probes,). This time the same people are around except for Quaid (who made the ultimate sacrifice last time) and Smith (whose character died in the interim and is here replaced by a charisma-free son).I'm pleased to report that this film is missing a number of the elements which so annoyed me about the original, such as the only bloke who knows what's happening being the estranged husband of the President's personal assistant rather than a checkout girl from Tesco - the stupidity factor is noticeably lower, as is the glutinous gung-ho US flag-waving, which our American friends so loved. Which is not to say that there isn't some nonsense here: a busload of schoolkids, for instance, whose sole purpose appears to be to shoehorn in Judd Hirsch as Goldblum's Dad again, and provide some jeopardy for a giant alien rampage. But the thing looks great. The destruction is wonderfully presented - director Roland Emmerich's greatest strength - and, for the most part, the aliens and the combat are well done. There are some places where it's a bit difficult to keep track of who is doing what to whom and where they are doing it, but I was happy to overlook that.Don't expect your brain to be stretched very much but, if you enjoyed the first one, you'll probably enjoy this one too.Oh, and it didn't escape my notice that I watched this Independence Day movie on the day the UK voted to leave the EU: I suspect that this is no more than coincidence!

Worst movie eve ever seen; the original is one of my favourite movies of all time and this one is a disgrace !

Incredible garbage. What a shame that the epic movie of 1996 has such a desastrous 2nd part - simply don't waste your time on watching it...
