Why do people hate Independence day so much?
turns out that not everyone on the internet is from the united states so they hate on us cause they aint us
USA USA USA
Cause the plot is fucking stupid
Idk why. It's not a masterpiece. It's pure fun.
Sequel's probably going to be awful though.
it's one of my favourite action popcorn movies
great air battle scenes
very cool when they travel to the mothership
think it had something to do with limited, but still advanced technology. There was some kind of mysticism surrounding the aliens. If it had been done today, it would've been too much spoonfeeding. CGI aliens straight in our faces
Who the hell hates ID4?
Hating on popular things it's the trend here
>>71061601
I liked it a lot and watched a countless number of times growing up
I don't know if I want to see the sequel though.
>>71061492
Nobody hates it.
>>71061601
>Sequel's probably going to be awful though.
hopefully not but yeah more than likely
>>71061492
it's dumb and full of cliches. what's to like?
>>71061492
They don't really desu
Its a really good disaster/invasion movie

I miss Will Smith before he became some euphoric hollyweirdo.
>>71061492
>it's a RLM mentioned something so /tv/ has to argue about it episode
Because it was fucking dumb. The overly jewish father and his "David!!!! My son David!!!
Everything was just so overly done. The acting was complete shit. When Wil Smith gets out of the ship and starts acting all ghetto etc then just punched the alien in the face was completely fucking retarded.
Or how about when the president gave that fucking speech. Or when Randy Quaid was yammering about stupid shit and they let him fly a plane even though he was a drunk.
Shall I go on?
What about when the stripper wife escapes a huge fucking explosion and the dog jumps in the last second and they "happen" to run into the first lady and she tells her she is a stripper?
Or when they did that scene with morse code and it was OMG FUCKIN USA!!!! who had the plan and was gonna save everyone?
Want something even worse? How about when they got into the mothership and they were sitting there with cigars? How did the aliens NOT KNOW that was some ship from 50 years ago? Did they not change their ships in 50 years?
And the end. Those ships must have had millions of aliens....none of them made it out?
It's just fucking bad.

Allow me to rephrase then.
No one who counts hates it.
>>71061770
This the same retard that hates Escape from NY right.
Fuck that fat fuck.

>>71061492
it's great. i was gonna post on their site but i'm banned for talking about their porno. honestly i can't take these idiots seriously anymore. contrarian positions all the time to sound edgy, slagging off classic schlocky entertainment like this when they made SPACE COP. come on...
>They destroyed the alien ships with a virus running on Windows95
In the squel I expect they use a malware sent from a space cloud storage
RLM just posted a pure hate review of Independence Day
>>71062531
no shit. read the damn thread
>>71062050
>And the end. Those ships must have had millions of aliens....none of them made it out?
They did, they show alien captives in the trailer and evidence of ground wars with stragglers
>>71062353
which part is great for you?
The acting? The characters? The plot? The soundtrack? The editing? The tension? The cinematography? The dialogue?
Because I can't find anything good in it, but still have a positive memory from it probably because of nostalgia of us 90s kids
They did have a good point tho.
Mars attacks is an example of a cheesy movie that doesn't try to be anything else and it works, while Independence Day is a cheesy movie that tries to be super serious at times, which doesn't work at all.
Also one of the worst on-screen presidents of all time
>>71062658
>the soundtrack?
nigga david arnold's scores for stargate and independence day are fantastic. it's pompous and unabashedly epic sure, but if you hate that then i suppose you have to hate good old fashioned john williams too
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9-tu-7V9jQ
it takes a special kind of jaded asshole to say that this music sucks
>>71062752
mars attacks tried way too hard.
>>71061492
>If you like corny and stupid ID is a great movie
>Please buy Space Cop on VHS
>>71062825
>mars attacks tried way too hard.
Are we thinking of the same movie?
>>71062825
>>71063114
Seriously, the movie where the two kids help defend the white house with an alien gun while secret service gets the fuck out, that movie was trying too hard?
>>71063106
you just don't get it do you
it's SUPPOSED to be bad!!!!
It's pretty dumb, bit it is a guilty pleasure of mine. Same with Starship Troopers. I think its my love for everything sci-fi
It was fine until
>Weee're uh, gonna haveta *ahem* fly the alien craft out of our atmosphere and dock with it
That was the moment it went to shit, for me anyway
>>71063114
>>71063161
That anon is right though. It's trying to be Dr. Strangelove but it just doesn't have the balls. Or the brains.
>>71063464
Please explain how Mars Attacks somehow tries to be a Kubrick film.
>>71061492
No fun allowed
fun movie, but nothing more than that and it is ok
>>71063197
>Starship Troopers
>Independence Day
>On the same level at all.
I enjoy both but Starship Troopers is not a guilty pleasure it's a genuine work of genius. It's a movie that came out in 1997 and yet predicted the entire first decade of the 21st century.
Independence Day is just a fun movie with amusing lines and excellent visuals.
>>71061492
I actually love this movie, mainly for the concept.
>>71062050
you are nitpicking a bit, but some of your points are true
You don't let stupid little thing ruin movies for you do you?
>>71064182
No, i mean I watched it and I cringe but I mean it is not like Star Ship troopers where you know if is supposed to be overly ridiculous. ID tries to be too serious.
